Tour Scotland travel photography of the Thomas Richardson stained glass window in the Abbey on ancestry, genealogy, history visit and trip to Paisley.
The derivation of Richard is from the Olde English " ric ", power and " heard ", meaning brave, hardy. It is originally Anglo Saxon in origin, but was made very popular in England by the Normans after the Conquest of 1066. The first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that of Murdac Richardesson, Merchant, which was dated 1359, recorded in Glasgow, Scotland, during the reign of King David 11 of Scotland.
