Richard and Hannah are resident at North Heath Farm, Horsham in the 1841 and 1851 censuses.

All that remains today is the lodge at the entrance to the farm, surrounded by a modern housing estate.

Hannah's will indicates that they subsequently moved to Killwood (Kilnwood?) Farm in Lower Beeding. The couple appear to have been childless, with Hannah leaving the bulk of the estate to her nephews.
