Scottishlass: Yes M'am, dad was from Blantyre & mom was from Glasgow.
The family of my last name was known in the Southwest Border of Scotland for hundreds of years. The name my last name comes from Caer for fort and Rydderch which was a proper name. It gradually changed to the form the family used for generations. One of the earliest of the name was William de my last name who made a donation to the Abbey of Newbattle in the reign of Alexander II of Scotland (1215-1245). Much of the earliest information was published by Arthur Stanley my last name in his books The Records of the my last name Family. The my last name were among those who rose with Robert the Bruce and were with him at Bannockburn in 1314 when he defeated the English and drove them from Scotland. Because of this, the my last name family is considered a sept of the Bruce clan and are entitled to use the Bruce badge and tartan.
