Matthew of Tibenham & Matthew of Morningthorpe appear to be the same individual. There is no trace of Matthew in Tibenham between 1686-1700 and no trace of Riches in Morningthorpe for some time after 1700. Further, Matthew Jr of Tibenham neatly matches the Matthew Jr baptised at Morningthorpe. Whilst Christopher ended up at Hempnall, there does not appear to be any connection with the other Riches found in Hempnall in the 1700's - those can mostly be traced back to a date contemporary to Christopher or too early to have been his children.

John first appears in Ashwellthorpe in the mid 1760's. The list of children is speculative Whilst John and Christina remained in Ashellthorpe & were buried there most (or all) of their children appear to have moved to neighbouring Wymondham by 1780. John Jr appears to have married late. Whether this reflects choice, a previous unknown marriage or a tour of duty in the military is unknown. Sufficient BMD records for Wymondham in the 1700's are available to indicate John was not a native of that parish prior to his arrival in Ashwellthorpe. Francis who died in Ashwellthorpe c.1760 is the likely father of John. Note that John had a son and several grandchildren named Francis.

Edward first appears with the death of his wife in 1756 at Bunwell, Co Norfolk. Stephen's burial indicates he was a son of Edward and since Stephen had a son, Jeremiah, it is reasonable to assume that Jeremiah Riches Sr of Bunwell was another son of Edward. The parish of Besthorpe borders Bunwell to the west. Stephen & Jeremiah were likely born in the Bunwell/Carelton Rode/Besthorpe area.

This is the largest of the Riches families in the Depwade district, presumably a combination of fecundity and also a relatively lower rate of emigration from the district compared to other families. The family first appears in Long Stratton & Tharston, with descendants remaining there until at least the 1870's. The bulk of this family however descends from a branch that moved to Pulham in the 1760's. Note that there does not appear to be any obvious connection with another Riches family who were living in Pulham in the 1500's and early 1600s. A John & Mary Riches had children baptised, St Mary the Virgin, Tharston, Co Norfolk: John (27/12/1710), two Roberts (15/2/1711, 15/7/1712), Thomas (14/10/1713) & Edward (24/11/1717).[64,65] Was William another son of this couple?

They are all of the same generation, all with a Pulham St Mary connection and most significantly, they all use the same forenames for their children, apart from one or two which presumably came from their spouse' families}

Charles appears in Hempnall with the birth of his child, Charles Jr. I have been unable to trace Charles' marriage nor his origin. Hempnall borders both the Henstead and Loddon registration districts. He does not appear to be related to the other Riches families found in Hempnall in the 1700's. Hempnall baptisms date back to at least the 1710's, indicating that Charles was not born in that parish.

John first appears in Fritton with his marriage there in 1756, however his marriage entry indicates he came from Hempnall. A William Riches was a witness at his second marriage. The identity of this William is uncertain but it may have been John's eldest son, who would have been around 17yo at the time - there was no minimum age for a marriage witness, although in practice witnesses were older than 11-12yo. John Goat, who was a witness at John Riches 2nd & 3rd marriages is interesting since the Goat family is connected with another Riches family in Hempnall who previously came from Tibenham, Co Norfolk, on the far western side of the Depwade district. There is, however, no obvious placement for John within that family and the Goat connection may just be a coincidence. Hempnall baptisms date back to at least the 1710's, indicating that John was not born in that parish. Available baptism transcriptions for Fritton date back to the early 1730's, so it is possible John was born there.

This family comes from a published genealogy, whilst I have confirmed the BMD details, given the distance between Kings Lynn & Pulham, I have some reservations about identifying the William who died in Pulham in 1789 with the William baptised Kings Lynn in 1734. William and Ann likely had more children than just Henry, however I have found no trace of additional children in the Pulham parish records, although there are gaps in the mid 1700's.
