James Alderson
« on: Tuesday 04 December 18 10:30 GMT (UK) »
Hi, I’m trying to Source info on my 4th great grandparents

I can’t find anything but I have details of their children and one of their marriage certificatye that state father as James Alderson

Children:
Charles Alderson born 1809 Hellgill Westmorland
George Alderson born 1816 Mallerstang Westmorland
Jane Alderson born 1819 Richmond North Yorkshire
James Alderson born 1820 Mallerstang Westmorland

It is James’s marriage certificate to Frances Walton in 1847 southchurch Durham that it states his father is also James Alderson a miner

Jane possibly moved to Canada.

I hope this info is correct and any help would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks
Lisa x

James 1804
Jane 1807
John 1811
Elizabeth 1814

Unfortunately I cannot see a marriage for James and Millison.

Several possible births for James Alderson in Westmorland and elsewhere.

The following might be a possibility, he is in some trees on A….y but no one has found any details?
James Alderson Baptism 15 Apr 1772 Brough Under Stainmore,Westmorland.
Parents John & Elizabeth.

There is also a GRO death record James Alderson Jul 1838 East Ward, Westmorland

The only baptism I can find near to the name of Mellison/Millison below.

Milecent Harker Baptism26 Feb 1781 Whatton, Nottingham, father John.

Hi Lisa  :)

If I have the right family Frances is a widow in 1851, living at Peases Row, West Auckland. HO 107 / 2385/361 / 31. With her are several children, two of whom James and Elizabeth appear to be at South Church, St Andrew Auckland in 1841 with a James and Mary Alderson (HO 107 / 307 / 1/ 15 / 25) Mary appears to have died in 1846 (per Durham Records Online).

In 1841 James' birth place is simply given as 'N' i.e. not born in County Durham.

I wondered how you had tied this James to the one born in Mallerstang?

I’m starting to think I need to re look at the westmorland connections as i have later family in 1900 in Auckland Durham..

I think one connection of a birth I’ve made has sent me down the wrong path  :'(

Apologies, think I need to do some reconnections.

From the beginning:

Married Catherine Martin 1904 in Tynemouth

Children:
Thomas Marson Alderson
George Alderson
Mary B M Alderson
William Braton Martin Alderson
Catherine Gregg Alderson
David waters Alderson
Alexander Martin Alderson

Great Great Grandparents:

Married Margaret Armstrong 1872 Auckland Durham

Children:
Thomas Alderson 
Margaret Jane Alderson

Later than this I have deleted as it seemed to go wrong...

I think JenB has provided a more realistic connection.

May I ask why you think James Alderson, Father of Thomas 1849 South Broom had a Westmorland connection?

I presume this is Thomas;
ALDERSON, THOMAS, Mothers mn RICHARDSON
GRO Reference: 1848  M Quarter in AUCKLAND UNION  Volume 24  Page 13

Frances Jane I presume was widowed when she married 1847, previous Marriage 1843 to John WALTON .

So James Alderson had died by 1851 Census so we have no pob for him.

His Death Reg
ALDERSON, JAMES age 46***
GRO Reference: 1850  M Quarter in AUCKLAND UNION  Volume 24  Page 4

1841 we have in South Church Durham;
James Alderson, 35, Pitman
Mary, 35
Mary, 14
Hannah, 11
Rachael, 8
James, 5
Elizabeth, 10 mths
All not born in County except for last 3 children.
