NOTE: This may all be wrong. John Francis Clarkson was a farmer born in Grimsargh, and living in Broughton so not Richard's brother. Although Richard did have a brother John (much older than this one), there is no Henry.

Son of Benjamin Clarkson & Susan. He had younger siblings John (b.23-Feb-1797), Jane (b.20-Dec-1806), and William (b.9-Mar-1809). Another Jane (1800-1802) died as a child.
Richard was a Joiner, a good profession, and this is recorded in several places throughout his life.
There was a Richard, born Chorley, aged 75, was living in Preston in 1871, married to Ann. This could be him if he re-married.
