He returned to England with his wife and five children in 1880.
In the 1881 Census, Richard & Emma together with their youngest two, Percy and Jessie, were lodging in a private hotel at 30 Arundel Street, London. George was at boarding school at 75 Avenue Road, London. Kate and Alice were boarding at Mineham Convent School, Holdenhurst, Hants
Richard’s wife Emma died at Bournemouth in 1882
A few months later he married Kate Dring, age 21. She was a daughter of John & Mary Dring, farmers at Framlingham, Suffolk.
Richard died in London in 1899. By 1901 Kate had taken her three surviving children, Florence, Charles and Arthur to live at Framlingham
A Vice-Consul at Rio. Burton met him soon after he arrived in 1865—“After the trial at the Custom House, where a pair of bags, the work of the great Poole, duly disappeared, I called at the British Consulate, and introduced myself to its actual tenant, Mr. Richard Austin, son of the respected chaplain of Pernam. His twenty years’ experience of Brazil were invaluable. We were inseparables for a month, and he accompanied me to Bahia.”[18] Austin was also a member of the Anthropological Society, no doubt encouraged by Burton—see “The Extinction of Slavery in Brazil, from a practical point of view” by A. M. Perdigão Malheiro, translated by Richard Austin, F.A.S.L..[19]
