Birth:
Nov 1783
The 1851 Census gives his age (67) and SimonBurn as his place of birth. However, the 1861 Census give his place of birth as Bellingham although his age (77) gives the same calculated birth year (1784). There is a baptismal record for a William Lidderdale (Lauderdale and Lidderdale) on 14 Dec 1783 in Bellingham (Baptism William Lidderdale) and as his surname was recorded as Lidderdale in his marriage to Mary Kirsop in 1806 it is considered to be the correct baptismal record for William Lauderdale giving a birth date of Nov 1783.

Although his wife was still alive it would appear that his son William had travelled from his home in Newcastle-on-Tyne if not to assist with his care at least to be there with his mother.

As his baptismal record gives only his father's name it is impossible to trace his matriarchal line through this register entry. However, a record for the marriage of an Edwd Lauderdale to Ann Crenkley on 14 November 1779 in Simonburn, Northumberland was found. The date makes it credible that William who was born in November 1783 could be their son. Therefore it is considered highly likely that Ann Crankley is William's mother.
