Your Richard Revitt born 1857, am I correct in saying he was born in Wolverhampton? I have Revitt family born in Wolverhampton in my family tree. Havent traced all of them yet, but Richard Revitt born approx 1815 in Sheriffhales, Salop married a Alice Mason. My descendant, daughter Pamila was born 1846, and I belive there was a George born 1839. I am sure there were more children. Co-incidently, Richard born 1815 was a bricklayer as well. I wonder if your Richard is his son? He was living in Canal Street, Wolverhampton when Pamila was born and also in the 1861 Census with his in-laws.
I beleive there was another Revitt family in Wolverhampton (Tettenhall area) with a Richard born approx 1838 married to an Elizabeth with a son Richard William born 1869? The Revitt name seems to appear on the LDS database in the Shifnal area?
