Hi Willie,
First,  there is no headstones (MIs) for any Richardsons in Kirkpatrick Durham up to 1855.
James Richardson did not leave a will
As you already know, there is no marriage for Mary McGeorge and James Richardson on the IGI . As you will most probably know, civil registration started in 1855 in Scotland and before that we have to rely mainly on parish registers. The registers can be very sparse with large gaps in years. There was a tax levied on entries into the parish registers late 1700s so of course people did not have the events entered.  The IGI is mostly for the Established Church of Scotland so if a person was at another church... Free Church, Catholic etc their names will most probably not be in the IGI.

I decided to look for a James Richardson and Mary in the 1841 census and found a couple living in Kirkpatrick Durham. They were the about the right age to be parents to Margaret Paterson Richardson.  James  65 cattle dealer, , Mary 60, Janet 25, John 23.  None of these names are in the IGI

in 1851 James was 78 born Twynholm,  Mary 75 born Parton AND  Mary Wilson  22 visitor, born Lochrutton.   
Could this be Mary Wilson visiting her grandparents?

I suspect that both James and Mary died before 1855 so no death certificate.  I do have about 5 pages of Kirkpatrick Durham deaths printed out. Alas they are about 15yrs old and faded dreadfully.  I will go through them and see if I can work out any Richardson names.

The only way I can see to prove all this is to look for their son John's death (born about 1818) to see if his parents names were James Richardson and Mary McGeorge


I could not find a birth for Mary McGeorge in Parton c1776.  I will keep looking

However after all that, I notice that you said that Mary was living next to her parents as the wife of Geddes in 1851,  so maybe all that above is incorrect.!!

Oh the joys of genealogy, one step forward and two back, mind you if it was so easy, it wouldn't be a challenge?

cheers
Kay
