Thomas Henry Marshman Richmond (1902-1987) was born 11 July 1902 in Putnam, Connecticut, the son of John Henry and Mary Ann (Ramsey) Richmond.  He married Helen Hyde Thatcher (1904-1999) on 18 July 1923 in Putnam.  They had four children, but only the fourth child, James Marvin Richmond (1932-2020) is on this census record, identified as Jane and a female.  Jane does not appear in any other record, and James does over time but not in the 1950 US census. 

Mary Ann (Ramsey) Richmond (1866-1954) was born August 1866 in England, and died 23 May 1954 in Putnam, Connecticut.  She married John Henry Richmond (1865-1947) in about 1891 in Connecticut.  

"Alice" Richmond (1874-1965) was actually named Olive H. Hyde and married Warren Edward Thatcher (1877-1950) in 1898 in Killingly, Connecticut.

Thomas Henry Marshman is my first cousin twice removed, with common ancestors of my second great-grandparents, James and Hannah (Rich) Richmond.
