Although my immediate Richardson ancestors hail from Nottingham; before that they were from Liverton in North Yorkshire. My most distant Richardson ancestor, John, born in 1749, was Scottish.
I have done a lot of research on the Liverton Richardsons, tracing many of the branches forward through the census, and I’ve also had a lot of help and information from some distant cousins, which I very much appreciate.
