Richard went from Ventnor to Exmouth Devon he retired in 1911 and died in Sidmouth 1914. 31 Dec 1864 .. ASSAULTED – At the County Petty Sessions on Saturday, George WILLIAMS a boatman, was charged with assaulting Thomas PITT, an officer of the coastguard at Ventnor, on the previous Sunday at half past 12 in the day. Complainant was on duty at the time, but he was content to treat it as a common assault, when the defendent was fined 10shillings and costs.
