Name Richard Albert Henry Birkhead BYERLEE Relationship 
with Teresa Ann GOATHAM Born 11 May 1866 Devonport, Devon, England 
- From the 1871 census where shown as aged 4
GRO ref: Byerlee, Richard A H B, q2 1866 Stoke D. RD 5b 346; GRO online index shows middle nameas Albert Henry Birkhead and mother's maiden name as Spurrell
DOB 11 May 1865 according to baptism register - should this have said 1866? - I suspect so, that would fit with both birth registration and age on 1871 census
Baptised 23 Nov 1871 St. Peter’s Church, Plymouth, Devon, England - From PR entry (image on FMP, viewed 20 Sep 2012, register p. 198)
When Born: May 11 1865 [Register entry] No. 1591, When Baptised: November 23 1871, Child's Christian Name: Richard Albert Henry Birkhead, parents' Christian names: Paul Birkhead & Patience, surname: Byerlee, abode: 53 Wolsdon Street, father's occupation: carter, ceremony performed by H. S. Wilcocks Assistant Curate
Gender Male Residence 1881 Gut Lane, Liskeard, Cornwall, England - Lodging with a widow Martha (Neivell?) and her children; also lodging at the house were Albert's father and brother John
Occupation 1881 Liskeard, Cornwall, England Stable Boy Died Yes, date unknown Siblings3 brothers and 2 sisters Patriarch & Matriarch 
Paul Birkhead BYERLEE, b. 1 Jul 1836, Devonport, Devon, England, d. Yes, date unknown (Father) 
Elizabeth OXENHAM, b. Abt 1811, Bridestowe, Devon, England, d. Mar Q 1845, Tavistock Reg Dist, Devon or Cornwall, England (Age ~ 34 years) (Grandmother) Notes - An Albert Byerlee was with Paul and presumably Paul's son John in 1881 - all 3 were lodgers in the house so no relationships to each other shown. All 3 were shown as born Devonport, no other Byerlees born in 1866/7 (anywhere in England and Wales) so I guess that Albert was known by his 2nd name.
A Richard Albert Byerlee was born and died in Derby RD in 1898 - I believe that was the nephew of this one.
