I am fairly new here and if you look in the parish records on this wonderful site the birth and death of Richard seems to be there.

Hi,My wife`s 4x great-grandfather was Richard Mudway[b.1787],married Elizabeth JONES.Their son William[3x GG]was the brother of Sarah[1841 census].An interesting family connection?

Many thanks for the link I'll try to check the 1841 census but at the moment I'm not subscibed to Ancestry. I'm somewhat confused because I've just received a copy of the marriage certificate between George Baker and Sarah Mudway for the 29 May 1849 and George's father is shown as Richard, yet in the parish records it is down as Andrew.
Thanks again

The transcription should be on the basis of what is seen - so the transcriber probably felt that the word in the Register was "Andrew" , with hindsight someone else looking at it might say "Richard" !

Based on the Census and your Marriage Cert I think that Richard is correct. Multiple sources are always a good idea :-)

Thanks for your advice Slowhands it makes sense as I can't find any other reference anywhere to Andrew Baker- your help, and everyone else who has responded to my query is greatly appreciated.
