Certificate from the Deputy Lieutenants excusing Richard Jeremiah of Goytrey from service in the militia on payment of Ł12, having provided William Edwards to serve in his stead - the said William Edwards having served one month to the satisfaction of his officers. The Churchwardens and Overseers of the parish had to find the Ł12!

1851 Census shows Richard, widower, stone mason, living as a lodger. It seems likely that he is the "respectable" brother mentioned in the following deposition:
