Son of Richard Cornwell 1761 and Mary Hickford
Richard was baptised on 27 Sep 1801 (4) in Kedington, Suffolk. He married Sarah Bowyer on 12 Sep 1826 (2) in Kedington.
Sarah Bowyer was born about (1) 1797, I have not yet found her baptism so her year of birth is taken from the age given at the time of her death.
Richard and Sarah had moved to Kennet, Cambridgeshire by 1841. Richard worked as a pig Dealer and there is mention to a pig dealer in the Kennet Village Website. As far as I can fell the couple only had two daughters.
Emily Cornwell Baptised 1 July 1827 (2) in Kedington Evelina Cornwell (Cornwall on baptism) Baptised 12 Jul 1829 (2) in Kedington
Sarah died in 1883 (3) aged 86. I have not yet established Richard's year of death.
