Thank you Deborah for getting back so quickly. It looks as if I have finally found the birth datails of Richard Squance(Osborne) However, there is one detail I am unsure of. You say he had a daughter named Ruth b.1895. I know that Bessie was his daughter (my grandmother)and another daughter May was born 1895 but I can find no reference to Ruth. The 1901 census show only Bessie, Albert and May as children living with Richard and Martha in Penvilia Road. Can you throw any light on this?
