You still need to connect the information that I have found to 'your' James Richard

It would seem that the James Richard living with John and Esther Hardy on the 1841 census is the one linked to my great grandfather.  His occupation is listed as ap plumber.  His marriage certificate, 1851 census and birth certificate of son lists him as a plumber.  However, as pointed out, John is listed as laborer on 1841 census but as hatter on James Richard marriage certificate.  The Peter listed above was a hatter.  If he is the father of John, could there have been a change in profession?

Looking at everything it`s quite possible that John had a change of occupation.  He may have had some sort of accident that prevented him from continuing his trade.  Failing eyesight being another reason.
