Back to Richard …………………………………..

Richard was baptised in February 1905. The baptism record shows his surname spelled as Josling - one of the many spelling variations of the surname I have found in my research..

these include Joslin, Josling, Joscelyn, Joscelyne, Josselin etc etc..

Here, we have Richard and Florence (pre-October 1925) listed as residing at the Royal Mews, Buckingham Palace..

The Royal Mews provides road transport for The King and members of the Royal Family by both horse-drawn carriage and motor car. It is also one of the finest working stables still in existence, responsible for the training of the Windsor Greys and Cleveland Bays, the horses that pull the royal carriages. It's responsible for looking after the state carriages, coaches and cars used by The King and members of the Royal Family during state occasions, including coronations, the State Opening of Parliament and visits by heads of state..
