Richard Arnold Norbiton & Dorset

[arnieblaggard]

Information needed on Richard Arnold born 1853 Weymouth employed as a Railway Guard married to Mary Ann Jefferies (b1854) from Chard, Somerset. In the 1881 census they lived in East Molesey, Surrey and in the 1901 census they lived at Franklin Road, Norbiton with the following children: Richard (1881) (Railway Clerk), Thomas (1889), Francis (1880), Joseph (1882)Sarah (1891), Alice (1892), Jane (1895) & Emily (1893). I believe Richard is my G Grandfather and married Rose Alice Saunders (b1879) and mentioned in the 1881 census as residing at 18 Scases Buildings, Kingston with her parents John Saunders & Mary Webber. I would if possibe like some information on the first Richard Arnold ie who his parents were and whereabouts in Dorset they originate from or anything else that may help me complete my tree.
Thanks

Nope, Tim, no relation. Just can't help climbing other people's trees after falling out of my own! ;)

Good luck with your research!
