Early Origins of the Rickerby family

The surname Rickerby was first found in Cumberland where they held a family seat as Lords of the Manor of Rickerby in the parish of Stanwix. The Saxon influence of English history diminished after the Battle of Hastings in 1066. The language of the courts was French for the next three centuries and the Norman ambience prevailed. But Saxon surnames survived and the family name was first referenced in the year 1292 when Hiomines de Rickerdeby held estates.
