I have come across several online references to the death of Joseph Hetherington at Tundergarth aged 57 on 28/1/1790. I wonder if this comes from a monumental inscription. His wife was supposedly Mary Richardson (d 20/6/1798 aged 65). Can anyone tell me if they are recorded at Tundergarth, and with an age?
Regards,
John
I can aswer John's question in part.
Mary's death is recorded in the Tundergarth OPR as the spouse of Joseph. This entry can be verified from the pay-to-. available from the Scotlands People site but it isn't likely provide any more information. Joseph's death/burial is not listed for Tundergarth soo he may have died elswhere.
Here are all the Richardsons listed from the Tundergarth OPR:
Richardson David, 86 Craighouseshields 24/03/1804
Richardson Dickson, infant Craighouseshields 24/03/1804
Richardson George, 61 Pearsbyhall 16/10/1811
Richardson James, 23, died Bankshill 12/11/1852
Richardson Jane, 78 Pearsbyhall 24/04/1821
Richardson Jane, wife of James Blacklock, died Crathats 23/08/1837
Richardson Joseph, 88 Pearsbyhill 07/03/1803
Richardson Mary, 14 Dassfold 23/11/1808
Richardson Mary, 65, spouse to Joseph Hetherington Greenhead 20/06/1798
The Shannon & Gilchrist survey of Tundergarth for the 1960s does not list them so there may not be a gravestone.
