He was recorded as living there at Great Thornton Street in 1857 and Nile Street 1858, and his third child was also born there. He and his family seem to have returned to Brixham permanently by 1865, living at 33 Fore Street (1871), 8 Beach Alley (1881) and Furzes Alley (1891). By 1901, Richard had become a grocer.
In the 1881 census, he was recorded as the master of the vessel Presto which was moored in Penzance Harbour, Cornwall. Also on board were his three sons Richard (19, mate), Albert (16, deck boy) and James (14, cook) as well as Samuel Holland, later to marry his daughter Martha Frances.
Known to his grandchildren as "Little Grampa", he is said to have walked from Brixham to Dartmouth to visit his daughter Ann Maria's home in Dartmouth, stay the night and return the next day. After a fall outside Ada Phelps caverns in the 1920s, he was unable to go out on his own and moved to live with a relation in New Road until his death.
