Charles Rich married Sarah Brain at Ruardean on 20 July 1804 but seems to have come alone from elsewhere - unable to trace his origin. Someone I have lost contact with said Charles Rich was buried at Ruardean 24 May 1835 aged 56 - but then found he was informant at the death of his brother-in-law John Brain 18 Nov 1846! By 1851 his widow has married Cornelius Brain. I checked GRO Deaths 1837-51 but not found Charles.
1841 census should tell if Sarah was a widow then. They were Dissenters - could there be link with a Dissenters' chapel at Bristol where a Charles Rich was christened in 1774?
