In 1841 he was in Bayston, St Julian, Shrewsbury with his wife and sons Edward and Richard; see Edward’s Misc Notes for the transcript.

In 1851 he had moved to Lyth Hill, Condover, Atcham, Shropshire and an extra son had been born, with Edward working elsewhere:

In 1861 he and his wife were still alive and Barnabas was with them; Richard had now moved on as well as Edward.

In the 1871 census his wife Mary said she was a widow, so he (probably) died before that.

Notes for Richard & Mary (Family)
From a copy of the page of the parish register supplied by FindMyPast and transcript by me:

“                                    Page 152.
“Marriages solemnized in the Parish of St Julian
“in the County of Salop in the Year 1832
Richard Kyte of this Parish
“Bachelor
“and Mary Hartshorn of this Parish
“Spinster
“were married in this Church by Banns with Consent of
“   This Thirteenth Day of
“March in the Year One thousand eight hundred and thirty two
“        By Me Frans Thompson
“This Marriage was solemnized between us:  Richard Kyte  Mary Hartshorn
“In the Presence of: Margaret Hartshorn  Barnabas Hartshorn
“No 454

Two points of interest in the above:

First that the couple and their witnesses all signed their own names.  R ichard Kyte very clearly spelled his name as Kyte.

Second that one of the witnesses was Barnabas Hartshorn; I presume that Richard and Mary’s last son, Barnabas, was named after this Barnabas.  So might this barnabas have been mary’s father and margaret her mother.
