Laura,
I have a Riches descendant living in Bridport,
Helen Leaker.
Brief details of family:
Phillip Henry Riches (Born 1868) married Sarah Burns in 1893 ( St Pancras, London).
Children Helen Jeanette,Florence,Ivy, Maud.
Helen married Frank Startup in London and they moved to Bridport.Do not know date.
One child of Helen and Frank was Helen Jeanette Startup, who married William?Leaker. They ran a bakery in Bridport in the High Street.It is still there under the name of Leaker.
They had three daughters Helen, Louise and Josaphine.
I have not found a connection between the Riches in Cambridge and those in London, but who knows.(See Alan Riches comments )
