Wexford to Nottinghamshire

This is a long shot but . . . Does anyone by chance know anything about a Richard Cullen who lived in Co. Wexford, Ireland, who relocated to Upton in Nottinghamshire, England about the year 1560. Long time ago? Yes, and a long shot as I said. This Richard Cullen seemed to have done fairly well for himself while in Wexford as he owned expensive items in Nottinghamshire that were not usually had except by some of the more prominent families (tapestries, silver dinnerware, etc.). Why he left Wexford is a mystery if he was doing that well but suggestions range from being too 'cozy' with the English so his kin chased him out; to the idea he may have had a brush with the law in Wexford. Some of his children in Nottinghamshire were: William, Jennett, Margerie, Thomas. Later generations favored the names Thomas, Gervase, and William.
