BMDB data

     Henry Richardson was born on 4 Apr 1787 Yetholm, Par. of Yetholm, ROX, SCT.1,3
     Henry Richardson married Ann Preston, daughter of George Preston and Cicily Pringle, cir. 1819 ?Yetholm, ROX, SCT, there's a Hy RICHARDSON/ Ann PRESTON marriage on Pallot's index for St Albans, ENG, and a family tree that has the marriage as 8 Nov 1819 Hexton Mains, Yetholm, which seems rather more likely.2,4,5
     Henry Richardson died on 11 Apr 1853 Bowmont Park, nr Guelph, Upper Canada (ONT), CAN, at age 66; aged 66.1
     Guelph is the link that made me connect the Henry, son of James & Mary (PRINGLE) RICHARDSON, to the Henry married to Ann PRESTON.
A family story on an ancestry tree states that the family (less Ann who had died in Quebec in 1832) moved to Guelph in 1834.
As this is another (the only other?) RICHARDSON family baptizing their children at the Gateshaw Sessions, a connection between the following families seems highly likely:
1) James & Christian (OUTERSON) RICHARDSON,
2) James & Margaert (MABON) RICHARDSON (which James may be one and the same?), and that of
3) William of Pringlestead, some of whose descendants also chose the independent route, instead of, or as well as, the established church.
We have a dna match between descendants of 1) and 3), and would love to explore the genetic genealogy possibilities of a match to 2) and Henry's family as well.
So if any direct male line RICHARDSON descendant of the two remaining famlies to be represented is reading this and is interested enough to explore this further, please do consider joining the RICHARDSON dna project to see what we may learn.6

Migration

     Henry Richardson and Ann Preston immigrated cir. 1832; George's 1911 census says emig. 1834, but a family tree has his mother dying in Quebec in1832.7

E. & O. E. Some/most parish records are rather hard to read and names, places hard to interpret, particularly if you are unfamiliar with an area.
