     Walter Richardson was born c 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 Eckford, ROX, 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
     By 1747 he was a hind at Bankhead, Par. of Linton, ROX, SCT, (when son Robert baptized).4 On 7 Feb 1778 Eckford, ROX, Walter Richardson was a cautioner at the marriage of Andrew Thompson and Janet Richardson; entry reads: Feby 7th Andw Thompson in the Parish of Crailing & Janet Richardson in this Parish gave up their names for Proclamation in Order to Marriage. Cautioners William Smith becomes Caution for the bridgegroom, & Walter Richardson for the Bride. Given to the Poor 1s.1,3
