He probably died before civil registration started in 1855, and not all Scottish parishes recorded burials, so there may be no record of his death.

That's what I thought, Kate. I can see I won't get much further on this line.

I know this is William's thread but have you looked for a baptism under the name McDonald rather than Richardsonfor Charles?

That's a good idea, Maggie, I hadn't thought of that.
My idea at present is that William Richardson married Isabella Stuart but during the marriage also fathered Charles with Ann McDonald. We have a similar scenario with Jane Archibald, Charles Richardson's wife. Her parents were William Archibald and Jane Mallice, but William and Jane weren't married. William Archibald was married to Jannet Richardson - OOH! Double take! Of course I knew that but I wonder if there is any connection! My Scottish ancestors went in for illegitimacy in a big way! LOL! |

Well, the marriage that Maggie found is on Scotland's People, so you could view the image which may or may not have extra info, but I suppose that isn't going to help until we know for sure that they are Charles's parents.
The old FamilySearch also has a submitted christening for Jane Richardson 25 Oct 1818 at Aberlour, Banff, parents William Richardson and Isabel Stuart. This is also on Scotland's People. But I can't find baptisms for the rest of the children. |

errrrr just a minite I just searched nothing came up but on SP
There are three baptisms in Aberlour between 1805 and 1818:- Elizabeth Baptised 1805 - parents John Richardson and Ann McDonald James Baptised 1809 - parents John Richardson and Ann McDonald Jane Richardson baptised 1818 - parents William Richardson and Isabel Stuart So I think you have two families and if Ann McDonald was Charles mother then his father is John Richardson or illegitimately William. Illegitimacy wasn't a big deal in Scotland from the records I have looked at a couple of my ancestors never married and didn't seem to care their children were baptised with the word Natural rather than Lawful.

That's interesting. There is also a John Richardson baptised at Boharm, Moray, 27 Feb 1803, parents John Richardson and Ann McDonald. (on the new FamilySearch.) Boharm is William Richardson's birthplace on the 1851 census.
