1856 Richard Sullivan listed in the London Post Office Directory as a Watch and Clockmaker at Church Street Deptford.
1858 Richard Sullivan listed in Melville's Directory as a Jeweller at Church Street Deptford. (In the 1861 UK Census Jane Sullivan aged sixty-five years Widow is listed at 82 Church Street Deptford, so it appears likely that Richard died sometime between 1857 and then.)
