Richard was a draper (in 1851 he described himself as a wholesale hosiery salesman, in 1861 as a wholesale haberdasher). He may have been one of the group of friends (according to Caroline Paul who told Marie Paul), who founded the YMCA in England. According to the Encyclopaedia Britannica, the YMCA originated in London in 1844 by the efforts of twelve young men, led by George Williams, three years younger than Richard, who had come to London in 1841 as a sales assistant in a draper's shop.
In the first quarter of 1846, he married Sarah Ann Elizabeth Cheesewright at Ashby-de-la-Zouch. She was the daughter of James Cheesewright, a Methodist minister.
However, she died at the beginning of 1850, shortly after the birth of a daughter, named after her.

(His son Richard was staying in Rye with his iCheesewright grandparents.) In 1861 and 1871 he was at 28 South Grove Street, Islington.
In 1881 he was living at 90 Park Road, Elswick, Northumberland with his wife, Eliza and four children, plus a visitor, the 25-year-old Kate E Paul. (She was married, and had also been born in Islington.) Richard described himself as a draper's general agent. Eliza was three years younger than him, and was from Islington, Middlesex. He died at Newcastle in the last quarter of 1884.
Richard and Sarah, née Cheeswright, had three children:
6.1 RICHARD JAMES PAUL (1846-1918), born in the last quarter of 1846 in Dalston, Hackney, Middlesex.

In 1881, the family were at Thornhill Road, Croydon, and Richard was working as a draper's warehouseman. They were still in Croydon in 1885, and in 1891 they were at 2 Stanton Road, Croydon.
It seems likely that after his cousin, Edwin Corin's death in 1887, he went into partnership with Edwin's son and in March 1890
took over the button business completely, which was thenceforth known as R.J. Paul and Co.
In 1891 he was describing himself as a Smallware Merchant.
By 1901, he had retired, and was living at 27 North Street, Calne, Wiltshire. He was still there in 1911.

Richard had no children. He arrived in Victoria about 1913. In the 1921 Sands & McDougall Directory of Victoria, Richard Paul is listed as owning 72 Church St, Hawthorn, Melbourne. He worked at some time as a stockbroker for J.B. Were and Son. He lived in Victoria for some 22 years.
6.1.2 HOWARD FREDERICK PAUL (1873-1937), born in Hackney in the first quarter of 1873. He left London on 19 August 1891 on SS Bungaree, a cargo ship, bound for Australia via the Cape. He travelled with his brothers Richard (Dick) and Herbert Edwin (Bert). The three of them arrived in Adelaide on 5 October. They stayed at the Royal Arms Hotel, Port Adelaide, at four shillings a day each. On 10 October 1891, they left Morgan on the paddleboat Gem, and four days later arrived at Mildura, via Renmark. Mildura was an irrigation settlement in the colony of Victoria. They had an arrangement to come and work for the Chaffeys. In May 1896 Richard and Bert left to return to England. Howard was apprenticed to the Chaffeys.
Howard owned a fruit block on the corner of 17th Street and Riverside Ave at Cabarita (The Lake), Mildura. His property was named 'Trevarrack'. In August 1898 he was elected to the Shire Council of Mildura. He was treasurer of St Andrew's Church, Mildura. He was Shire President 1905-6, and 1906-7. He was 18 years in Council representing the Lake riding. In 1921 he was president of Mildura Base Hospital. In 1917 Howard sold his block and moved to 11th Street, Mildura.

He had married in 1909, and he and his wife, Ellen Black, née Pyers or Prynes, had no children. They took over the raising of his wife's niece, Ralda Jean Doig, known as Jean, whose mother, Sarah Harris (Allie) Pyers, had died of tuberculosis when Jean was 12 years old. (Jean later became Mrs Rigby.)
6.1.3 HERBERT EDWIN PAUL (1874-1953). He was born in at Lewisham in the fourth quarter of 1874. In 1891, living at home in Croydon, he was descibed as an Australian merchant's assistant. He was said to have been in South Africa because he and his two brothers, with their uncle (which one?) travelled around Africa (the uncle had money). Herbert and first wife lived in New Zealand for a time with their two daughters, where he worked as a bus conductor. He divorced his first wife in New Zealand in March 1911 and she and two daughters returned to South Africa. Herbert came to Australia around 1913, where his two brothers were already living in Victoria. He subsequently met and married Caroline Heins, probably through her brother Andrew H.J.E. Heins - since both Andrew and Herbert were Freemasons. He died in 1953.
Richard and Martha, née Barnes, had a son:
6.1.4 CECIL LANSDOWNE PAUL (1885-1959), born in Croydon, Surrey on 6 February 1885. Apparently, Cecil's middle name of 'Lansdowne' was the surname of the aristocratic next-door neighbours of Richard J. Paul and Martha Barnes and the three sons from Richard's first marriage. The three sons used to play with these neighbours' children, and their respective parents became close friends.
Cecil married Augustine Eva Louise Duclos at North Carlton, Victoria on 29 August 1914. Augustine had previously been married to James O'Donnell, but her first marriage had ended in divorce. She had a son, James David O'Donnell, born in 1909.
