Richard is the grandfather in the 1871 census record that is likely to be your man.
Click on the familysearch link given earlier.

I wouldnt fret about the difference in an 1869/1871 birth year. He may have fibbed to be of full age at 1891 marriage. Or for the age difference between him and Caroline Fox to be more "respectable". Verify his father from the 1891 martiage and see where it goes.
