Hi Pete,
I havent got full Ancestry access but looking at the free 1911 Census, plus LDS FAmily Search hasnt been too forthcoming as you say. You probably already have done, but have you tried tracking Richard thro the Census ?, do you have his birth or birthplace at all ?. Also, dont forget (for Yorkley) to search Monnmouthshire/Wales not just Glos. According to the above sites Weager & Wagner are possible? spelling variants. There certainly appears to be a lot of Wagers in the Stroud area according to LDS, altho no Richard yet, so maybe thats where he met Mary the cook. Have you checked the neighbouring households to hers on Stroud census?.
(Its odd, I'd have wagered ! this to be a rare name, proven wrong yet again!).
Hope this helps

ie aged 55 so born abt 1838, so probably same man as 1841 birth above ?
Cannot be the 1861 birth I think.
