Looking for Richard Francis

['Trish']

I am researching the name of Francis in St Margaret's or Michaelchurch Escley, Herefordshire.
I have gone back to Richard Francis bp 1816 St Margarets, & Thomas his brother bp 1816. Parents were Robert Francis who married Sarah Lloyd 23 SEP 1796 St Nicholas, Hereford. I know that Richard married Elizabeth Smith. Thomas I believe married Mary Andrews 1847.
I am stuck in locating anymore children, plus the marriage of Robert Francis to Sarah Lloyd & Robert's parents.
Would appreciate any help.
Regards Trish

This leads to burials at Eskley Michaelchurch

Hello again
Looks like his father Robert Francis Will 1803 at the juristiction of Breacon -National Library of Wales.
It's a lot easier to read.
To eldest son Robert  freehold message situated in Upper Upper Miscode parish of st Margarets called the Little House.(see 1837 Will)
Penacoed leasehold tenement to son William for his lifetime
to son John meadow called Charless Meadow for life

And then everything seems to go to eldest son Robert Francis.

Robert senior buried Ewyas-Harold 7.7.1803
Marriage to Susan Map at Michaelchurch 17.8.1774 (  she could be second wife. Susannah 1742 - burial 2.3.1826

Sorry but the Library is about to close and they are shooing me away
