Thankyou Frank. I still need to look into this a little more as I Believe there are 2 Mary and Richard Walker's in Gloucestershire in the same time period. The data for Dirham Gloucestershire don't match my data on the son John as he died in Dirham in 1803, where as my John has a babtism in 1801 in little Compton Gloucestershire and I have him on census in 1871 aged 70 with an Approx birth of 1801 born  in little Compton Gloucestershire -https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:V5TB-JLX.
I think the reason why I can't find The marriage between Richard and Mary is because family search doesn't have the marriage indexed in its system currently. I had this problem with William Walker's marriage to Jane Tidmarsh in 1828. Family Search failed to have this marriage on record but it could be found on Ancestry.
