Richard Florence Father

[MeirSoul]

Looking for the father and mother of Richard Florence born in around 1797 (1795) in Tutbury/ Burton on Trent Staffordshire.  Wife of Richard is Amelia/ Emily  Ward. 

Any help finding Richards parents would be appreciated.  Thanks

[MeirSoul]

I suspect George Florence and Ann Bailey to be Richards parents but don't have any solid records or evidence to back that up.

Wife is Ann on 1851 census.  There are  2 x Richard Florence of similar age & both have a wife Ann & a daughter Emma.  The other Richard was b Hampshire

From FreeBMD, not Richard but do you have this one?
All Saints Parish Register Church Leigh Staffordshire
Baptism 25 Dec 1783 . Susannah Florence . Female
Parents: George and Ann Florence

Between Stoke and Uttoxeter rather than Burton. It seems to be the couple as there are so few in Staffordshire. There are two other baptisms in Uttoxeter Ann and Alice Florence on 28 Jan 1779 with parents John and Alice Florence.

Yes I'm wondering whether Ann was actually another wife as Richard married Amelia (emily) Ward  I'm 1816. Unless it's a different Richard altogether

Yes I've seen that one and a few more children fron george and Ann.  All born near Burton-upon-Trent or stoke on trent but I'm struggling to find Richard
