Richard Cropper -- Tranmere, Lancashire
Can anyone tell me anything about Richard Cropper of Tranmere, Lancashire?The information I have is:

Richard obviously re-married someplace between the 1871 and 1881 census.He died later in 1881 or in 1882 because his will was proved by his wife Isabel in 1882.
Any help anyone can give me with further information on these Croppers, their descendents or ancestors would be much appreciated.
