Irvings of Dumfries - Friars Vennel

Surnames: irving, walker, gordon
Looking for abit of help on filling out details of my Dumfries Irving Family History. Any help very welcome on:

descendents of walker family: David Walker (b c 1770) married to Douglas (sic!) MacIntyre or Mulligan (b c. 1770: especially information on Mary Walker, whom they raised as their own but was baptised as "a foundling child about 3 weeks old, march 1820"

also information on Irving family Mary walker (above) married David Irving 1828 and lived at 41 Friars Vennel. they had 7 children - especially anything to do with them running an inn - possibly The Grey Horse Inn/Hotel

finally, anything on lady called Johanna Mounsey Gordon, daughter of Gilbert Gordon of Halleaths and sister to Patricia Heron Gordon who married the First Baron Panmure. Johanna died unmarried in 1854 at ripe age of 80/81 at Lincluden house/youngfields, and is interred in a grave at front of old St Michaels church yard (her neices house). Family legend places her as key suspect for Mary Walkers natural mother. Legend has it she bought the inn for Mary walker and David Irving.
