Richard Tooze (bap. 24 Jul 1803), son of Thomas Tooze and Joan Potter, married Eliza Disney (b. ~1807 in Thorne St Margaret, Somerset), at St John the Baptist Church, Sampford Peverell, on 22 Jan 1827. Unfortunately, I've not been able to find a baptism nor identify the parents of Eliza Disney.
Richard and Eliza had nine children:
- Caroline Tooze bap. 22 Feb 1829
- Samuel Tooze bap. 17 Feb 1831
- James Tooze bap. 2 Feb 1834 (Died and was buried on 22 Nov 1835)
- Richard Tooze bap. 10 Jul 1836
- James Tooze born 1839, bap. 5 Dec 1841
- Emma Tooze born 1841, bap. 5 Dec 1841
- Ann Tooze born 1844, bap. 21 Mar 1844
- George Tooze bap 22 Aug 1847 (Died and was buried 30 Sep 1848)
- Elizabeth Tooze born 1851, bap. 25 Mar 1853
All of the baptims were at All Saints' Church in Holcombe Rogus and every one of the records lists Richard Tooze' trade as Chairmaker.

In 1861, Richard Tooze (56) Chairmaker, Eliza Tooze (54) Lace Mender with birthplace listed as Thorne St Margaret, Somersetshire, and Elizabeth Tooze (9), were living at Timewells Cottage, Holcombe Rogus.
