Lidderdale

Eleanora Lidderdale married Thomas Hutton of Lamark and was reported to be the first European lady to live in Canton, China. A search in Google for Eleanora Hutton Canton produced a link to the following website - http://www.lidderdale.com/gen081.html - Lidderdale.com with pages of information about Eleanora's family. Sometimes you can be lucky.

David Lidderdale 1675 - 1732 lived at Torrs, Kirkcudbright, Scotland. The website Flimpses of old Kirkudbright provides information about the properties owned by the Lidderdale family as well as information about the family - http://www.old-kirkcudbright.net/landowners/mckerlie.asp

An article in Rootsweb provides information about the Lidderdale and Robertson families - http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/read/ROBERTSON/1999-02/0919464122

Another site that might be relevant concerning the Robertsons is The Clan Donnachaidh  http://www.donnachaidh.com/PDF/cadetfamilies.pdf about the Cadet families of Struan

The Scottish Nation includes a section on the Robertson clan - http://www.electricscotland.com/history/nation/robertson.htm
