http://www.bcconnections.tribalpages.co ... =822840391

As Slater on dau. Marriage record and only estimated dob

However Ist Richard Nix appears to have been a bit of a lad as if one looks at Census Records :-

Marriage 3/9/1882 All Saints Sedgley
Richard Nix 48 father John Nix
Catherine Price father William Amos

1861 Census Bath Street Dudley Worcs.
Richard Nix Head 26 Slater
Margaret Nix wife 23
Elizabeth Nix dau 5 Scholar
All born Dudley Worcs.

1871 Census 41 Stafford Street Dudley Worcs.
Richard Nix Head 36 Fish Salesman
Ann Nix wife 33
Mary A. Nicklen dau 15
Margaret Nicklen dau 7
Ellen Nicklen dau 7 Scholar
Henrietta Nicklen dau 4
All born Dudley Worcs.
Note not very good transcription or original and who is Ann ? and is surname Nicklen correct
His first wife is living with her brother :-

1871 Census 5 John Street Dudley Worcs.
William Garbett Head 29 Coal Miner
Sarah J. Garbett wife 28 Trunk Maker
William Garbett son 7 Scholar
Thomas Garbett son 5 Scholar
Felix Garbett son 3 Scholar
John Garbett son 6mths.
Margaret Nix sister 30 (m) Fishmonger
All born Dudley Worcs.

1881 Census 29 Dudley Road Tipton Dudley Staffs.
Catherine Price Head 42 (m) Fish & Poultry Dealer born Dudley Worcs.
Richard Nix visitor 46 (m) Slater born Dudley Worcs.
Ellen Price dau 8 Scholar
Richard Price son 5 Scholar
Rest born Tipton Staffs.

Richard Nix ended up Marrying Catherine Price but children changed name to Nix and Ellen Price/ Nix married as Ellen Ann Price Nix
Catherine,s first husband George Price died 1872 Dudley so Ellen could be his daughter and Richard Price/Nix was probably son of Richard Nix out of wedlock

1891 Census 43 Dudley Road Cradley Heath Dudley Staffs.
Richard Nix 65 Fish Hawker
Catherine Nix wife 60
Ellen Nix dau 18
Richard Nix son 16
All born Tipton Staffs.

1901 Census 43 Dudley Road Tipton Dudley Staffs.
Richard Nix 65 Fish Hawker
Catherine Nix wife 60
Ellen Nix dau 18

4 questions,
1) What happened to Richard Nix first wife Margaret
2) Did he marry an Ann and live with her in 1871 whilst his first wife still living
3) He is shown as still married when visiting Catherine Price in 1881 and he marries her in 1882
4) Is second Richard Nix same one
