Hello JimCracknell! I note with great interest your contributions at the Roberton Lanarkshire article space. I have been for many years a student of the Roberton genealogy and have never come across the information you posted in that article space. Could you please provide a link to the resources you cite, as I would very much like to integrate that information into research I am compiling. It would also be useful to include reference those sources in the article itself. Thanks. Comes.amanuensis (talk) 22:15, 3 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Sorry for the further. I just wanted to make sure I didn't come across or uncollaborative when I stated the above. I actually visited Roberton on a recent trip to Scotland, and following a lead suggested by Lauran Toorians (who also suggesated a link between "Robert brother of Lambin Asa" and the estate of Ardoch in Lesmahagow) in the work 'Flemish Settlements in Twelfth-Century Scotland'. I have the article as a PDF but the link to where I downloaded it is now broken. One my trip I visited the churchyard at Lesmahagow, and found disused mausolea that had a crest- an anchor proper ( the arms of the Roberton family) above the gate. That said I have seen reference to "Robert of France" in relation to Lesmahagow, and it could be an entirely different person to the brother of Lambin- hence my interest in your source.
