Richards and Rooke were Spanish merchants. Richards was active from 1716 until his death in 1736 and the two were in partnership from 1728 to 1736; Rooke carried on the business after Richards' death. They had premises in Packer's Court, Coleman Street (1716-66) and 14 Angel Court (1767-72). Richards died on 9 August 1736 at Edmonton (Gentleman's Magazine) and was buried at St Stephen Coleman Street on 20 August 1736. Coleman Street Ward land tax records indicate that his partnership with Rooke started in 1728 (Ms 11316). Rooke died 27 January 1771 (Gentleman's Magazine): evidently the last 22 months of his accounts were entered by an interested party.
