BMDB data

     Walter Richardson was born cir. 1720 at Eckford, ROX, SCT, (this date is an approximation, placing him in the children of Robert & Janet by naming pattern, although I would expect Mum to be Agnes, perhaps both Walter and Margaret had Mum's called Janet? I've not found a baptism for Walter to confirm Paul's information).1
     Walter Richardson married Margaret Shiell, daughter of James Shiel and Isabel Shiel, on 18 Jun 1745 at Eckford, ROX, SCT, entry reads: "Jun 18th (1745) Walter Richardson in this Parish and Margt Shiell in the Parish of Jedbr gave up their names for proclamation in order to marriage. James Shiel Henry Young Cautrs given to the poor a shilling."2
     Walter Richardson was assumed to have died aft. Feb 1778 which assumption is based on the cautioner Walter, for the marriage of Janet Richardson and Andrew Thompson in Eckford at this time, is this Walter and Janet is his daughter.1,3

Census/Where lived/Occupations

      By 1747 he was a hind at Bankhead, Par. of Linton, ROX, SCT, (when son Robert baptized).4
