Can anyone see Richard after 1861?

I've had a look Mally, but can't see him.

Just found this Barb....

Death Mar 1880
Cooper Richard John 37 W. Bromwich 6b 455

If Richard did die in 1880, I was wondering if this could be him in the earlier census...

Definately says Richard J Cooper but what does his occupation say?

1871: Perrott Street, Oldbury
Richard Hooper 28 Head ??? Oldbury
Mary Hooper 28 Wife Dudley
Eliza H Hooper 5 Dau Oldbury
Thomas R Hooper 4 Dau Oldbury
Rebecca Wood 13 Serv Spon Lane

I did see that one Mally, his occupation is Auctioneer. I dismissed that at first because of him being an Articled Clerk, but wondering now if this could fit as he may have progressed from a clerk to an Auctioneer.

Just found this

1881 Census: 233 Golden Eagle, Lodge Road, Birmingham
Mary Cooper, Head.Wid, 37, Licensed Victualler, Dudley
Elisa H. Cooper, Dau, 15, no occupation, Oldbury (name reads Eliza)
Thomas R. Cooper, Son, 14, Clerk, Oldbury Named after his paternal Grandfather?
John H. Cooper, Son, 5, Scholar, Oldbury
Florence M. Cooper, Dau, 3, Scholar, Oldbury
Julia Saul, Serv.UM, 17, General Servant, Middlesex

Baptism: 3 May 1876 Oldbury, Worcs (Ancestry)
John Henry Cooper - Parents: Richard John & Mary Cooper

Yes Barb, I did see that one and thought it looked good but put it to one side while i investigated further but it certainly looks right doesn't it?

I'm gonne add it now
