This information from Familysearch.org index. Looking at the digitised record on Ancestry.com, the script is very poor and hard to read. For Richard W the birth place looks closer to Herefordshire or maybe Hertfordshire. All the other mentions of birth place are "do" that is same as above (except for Kate which is clearly Poplar). Mother "Francis" could be Harriet poorly written.
