If you mean Richard was born before John and JANE married (not Ann) - I don't think John and Jane ever married. John was married to Jane's mother from 1829 until her death in 1847. No sign of a marriage between John and Jane after that.
In any case, marrying a step-parent was forbidden, so John and Jane would not have been able to marry anywhere they were known. I expect this was the main reason they didn't marry, even if John was the father of Jane's younger children.
