| Previous page... | Shirley passed me the email address of one Jean Lidderdale Campbell, who turned out not only to be a wonderful person but our first cousin! Even better, she has spent years collecting data on her family. Some of that concerned the Lidderdale family from which her father George Arthur Lidderdale sprang. Here is a synopsis of her findings. | |
| The Lidderdale branch that come to the United States from Salford, England in 1867 and settled in the Buffalo, New York area was headed by James (1836–??). Arthur Edwin remembered that his father worked as a color maker in a wallpaper factory there in Buffalo. | ||
| Jean found that James’ father’s name was Thomas. He would have been born around 1810. | ||
|
James and his wife Julia Ann Dixon brought from England or gave birth in the United States to six children,
four of whom lived to adulthood:
] George Herbert (b. 1863) ] Arthur Edwin (1865–1951) ] Marie Louise (b. 1875) ] James, Jr. (b. 1877) | ||
| Each of these children had at least a couple children of their own, but James, Jr. (of Ohio) had ten! Lidderdale is not an uncommon name, so we can’t say that we’re related to anyone with the name ‘Lidderdale’, but it seems clear that many people with that surname descend from James, Jr. | ||
| I won’t share Jean’s genealogical records here, but do want to pass along a couple items she has that refer to our grandfather, Arthur Edwin. | Next page... |
