=====
It is not known how Richard Walkden became acquainted with Mary Stephen Dougan but on 11th July 1833 at St Pancras Old Church in London, she and Richard were married. Mary, then aged 29, took on the dual role of Mrs Richard Walkden and the step mother of Elizabeth aged 7 and Mary Ann Sarah aged 3. (I have often wondered whether Mary Dougan was the Walkden children's governess. This is pure conjecture on my part. However the common friendship of Richard Walkden and John Dougan to John Venn and his family could have been the basis for the employment.)
