Hi,
If anyone is going to Dumfries Library, could they spare the time to look for a memorial inscription for Janet [Maxwell] Richardson of Hitae died 1857 registered in GRO record as Janet Maxwell and buried in Lochmaben Cemetery? She was widowed before the 1841 Census, and her husband was a John Richardson of Hitae. ... either a John Richardson .... born in 1773 in Lochmaben to William Richardson and Jean Rae or John's cousin, another John Richardson, born Hitae in the 1780s to James Richardson and Jean Mundall.
The marriage of John Richardson and Janet Maxwell took place in Lochmaben Parish in 1803.
John Richardson b. 1773 is the prime 'suspect' as his and Janet Maxwell's 1st born son was a William in 1806.
This couple are my Great x 3 Grandparents.
Thanks to any willing searcher who can trace either, or both, memorial inscriptions of John Richardson and Janet Maxwell.
Aye,
DDJJAKE
