William Richardson

W1		 William Richardson, wife Christine Outerson
- four children
William (W2) - born 1828 Jan 08 in town of Horndean in Ladykirk Parish in Berwickshire
 

wife Christine Outerson b. 1797 d. 1870 Dec 15
buried in Swinton Parish of County of Berwickshire in Scotland 

They lived in Whitsome in 1833 because that is where their daughter Margaret was born
Evidence suggests they later were in Swinton parish by 1843 cause their  10yr old daughter was buried in Swinton

In the 1851 census William Richardson and wife Christine were living in Whitsome Parish in Berwickshire

suspecting that W1 might have been a member of the 
I contacted
Bro. George Donnelly, P.G. Master, East Lothian & Berwickshire, Scotland in Jan 2007

Bro. George said
"There were three Lodges in existance in Berwickshire at this time. Lodge Dunse No. 23 formed about 1726, Lodge St. Ebbe No. 70 (My own Lodge) formed 14.11.1757 (as you will see we will be 250 years old this year) and Lodge St. John No. 280 formed 1819. All three Lodges are still in existance in the towns of Duns, Eyemouth and Coldstream where they were originally founded.

I would imagine that the most likely candidate would be Lodge Dunse 23 which was in the 1830's the County Town and Swinton is some four miles from Duns. Eyemouth is 15 miles and Coldstream some 11 miles from Swinton. As the means of transport in those days would have been on foot or by horse Dunse seems the most likely. I shall be in contact with the Lodge secretary over the next few days and ask him to research their records and shall be int touch with you as soon as we have some news."

suspecting that W1 might have served in the Coldstream Guards, which was based in Berwickshire, I began, in May 2006, to look for information about any William Richardsons re: the "Guards" in the late 1780's 1790's or early 1800's

Found two W. Richardsons
"First Life Guards—Cornet William Richardson, wounded severely." 
"Fourth Foot, first battalion - Adjutant W. M. Richardson"

in a battle during the Napoleonic War 18 June 1815 
listed in the Officer Casualty List for the Anglo-Allied Army from  http://napoleonic-literature.com/WE/Casualties-18_June.html

John Richardson m. 1749 - possible grandfather of W1 
UPDATED 2011 Dec 04 - the following chart below does not apply  ---------- the father of William Richardson b. 1796 was James Richardson says cousin Kevin Bruce

- originally this info came from  http://genforum.genealogy.com/cgi-bin/pageload.cgi?scotland::richardson::6797.html
is not confirmed as a relative
- we find the coincidence of his children's name, location and dates very very interesting (July 4  2003)
- this info comes from a post November 15, 2001 on http://genforum.genealogy.com/ by a E.Jamieson - I emailed evan.jamieson@bigpond.com and we exchanged emails in early July 2003
- July 9th, 2003 I also saw this info on IGI http://www.familysearch.org - the website of the Mormons - it was not possible to go back futher with John and Isabell
- IGI did not show any children for William Richardson chr. 1754 so it is only a guess if he was the father of W1 b. 178?/179?

Misc findings of William Richardson
 http://ejmas.com/kronos/NewHist1700-1859.htm
"During a meet at Soukerry, the 18-year old William Richardson of Caldbeck, England scores his first trophy in Cumberland wrestling. A joiner by trade, Richardson never had a single fall recorded against him between 1801 and 1809, despite attending nearly every belted wrestling event in the country. A strongly built man with round shoulders and back, Richardson stood 5’9" in height and weighed about 200 pounds. His official prize was usually a leather belt with his name on it and enough cloth to make a pair of pants. As with boxing, the real money rode on the side bets."
