Richard Muspratt was born in Dublin, Ireland, the second son of James Muspratt and his wife Julia Josephine née Connor.

In 1852 with financial support from his father he set up an alkali manufacturing factory in Flint, North Wales, in partnership with John Kingsby Huntley and set up a permanent home there.[2]
In 1843 he married Jane Moon from Manchester. They had three sons and a daughter. Muspratt took an interest in local politics, was a J.P. and in 1857 was elected mayor of Flint.[3] In all he was mayor 9 times and in 1877 his wife presented a chain of office to the town.[4]
