If this is Susanna Riches b 1838 then she is the older sister of my maternal great grandfather Charles Riches (b. 1841 - d ca 1912) who was a blacksmith in Wrentham.The generation wasa large one (12 siblings) and I know for a fact that the intermediate brother James (b 1840) died in ca 1911. The latter was a farmer who held Priory Farm, which still stands to this day.
I do not know how many of the others survived into adult hood, but at least one other, Samuel, did.
I assume Susanna did not stay in Wrentham?
The Cemetary opp the Church (NOT the graveyard) holds the headstones of a number of the family.
My maternal grandmother was Kathleen Riches, daughter of Charles.I also knew her sister Emma Maria, who was one of the last of that generation to die.
