Hi ebocrew,
I have a copy of the complete record for everyone resident in the Parish of Lochmaben at the time of the 1841 census. In it there is reference to a 60 year old William Richardson living at Mosshouse in rural Lochamben Parish along with his wife Mary (who was also listed as being 60) (however, please bear in mind that ages, especially among female adults were rounded down to the nearest 5 years so they could well have been 60-64 in June 1841 when the census was taken).
No children are listed with them in my publication.
You may wish to check online at
http://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk to see if there was any however. At least now you know the names and age range to search for. I undertook a quick search - you get two returns to choose from.
Good luck with your searches.
