The Family of May Azzaro (Nee Pettit):Information about Richard Walden
Richard Walden (b. 1797, d. date unknown)
Notes for Richard Walden:
1.Richard is included mainly on the basis of his entry in the 1851 census, when he is living in Ash with his wife and two sons.He gives his age as 57, but all the family seem to have overestimated their age by a few years.The bits which link him to this family are that (a) he was born in Worplesdon and (b) Richard's wife and William's wife appear to be sisters.
2.There is a Richard Walden Ethrod born in Ash 9/7/1797, the illigitimate son of Mary Ethrod of Worplesdon.Presumably the father was a Walden and admitted the fact, since the baby was christened with the middle name of Walden.I am guessing that he was brought up by Richard and Amelia Walden, and the 'Ethrod' bit was soon dropped.
