???
Does anyone have access to the 1861 census for Grassington. I am researching my ancestors who were all lead miners in Grassington. Would anyone be able to give me any details for anyone with the surname of Aldersley? This is an uncommon name and I know there were only a few at Grassington. Please.... can anyone help
Cheers!

Hi Dianer, I am related to one of the Aldersleys in the 1851 census return. I am wondering what your interest was?

Hi
my great great grandfather was called Peter William Aldersley and he was a lead miner in Grasssington. He was married to Mary and had 6 children. When the lead mines started their decline the family then moved to Bradford and started working in the textile industry.
My great great great grandfather (Peter's father) was called James Aldersley and was first a waver in grassington and then became a lime dresser. James married Mary Howson and they had 11 children. Can you tell me where your connection is and perhaps we can share some information?

I guess that means we are related!! Peter William had an elder brother (one of several, Peter William being the baby of that generation of the family) named James. James was my great grandfather's father. I have been interested in researching the Aldersley name for some time, as was my father before me. If you would like to exchange more information directly, please feel free to contact me by personnel message.(I live in Rochester, NY).

Hi Dianer, just got your e-mail but the site isn't allowing me to reply to you directly. If you would like to correspond in greater detail, please leave your e-mail address. Anyhow, your data on James and Margaret Aldersley are close, but not entirely accurate. First, I am surprised to hear you say that they had a son, Matthew. I don't have a record of him, but perhaps he died as an infant? Squire William, who was my great-grandfather, lost his wife Charlotte in 1889. Far from dying at that time, Willie Stead survived until the 1960's - he lived close to my family in Stoke-on-Trent, England, and I knew him well. His brother, George, was my dad's father. George also died in the 60's. With regard to your side of the family, my information about Peter William is that he had 5 daughters and no sons. The daughters' names that I have were Sarah, Emily, Rosetta, Prisella and Ada. I presume that one of these daughters must be your forebear? I don't have any information beyond their approx. birth date on any of them and would be very pleased to remedy that!

Hi
New to this site - found it by accident but I am also related to Peter Aldersley born Grassington /Linton 1828 - his daughter Emily was my great grandmother. I have very little information on the family so would be grateful for any. I know that it is some time since this subject was originally posted but here's hoping!

Hello Dianer,
My great, great, great, great grandfather was the Aldersley(first name??)(1780-1871) who married Miss Howsan. If his name was James, then according to my records,he was named after his father who was also a James. So, I better refer to the son as James II.
James II had three siblings, one of which was named Peter. Peter had six children, including four daughters(unnamed) and two sons, Edward and John.
James IIhad a son, John(1809-1891), who subseqently married Alice Kearton.
According to my records, John's father was a dresser. There it is; looks like we are related.
I feel so sorry for you(little american joke!)
I am Vernon Duvall, a retired college teacher and busnessman, was thinking about visiting Grassington, and that was how I came to this website. Small world!
Hope this helps and I would certainly like to hear from you because one of the tasks I set out, was to determine what happened to Aldersley family in England. Obviously, none of them became King or I would have heard.
This web site advises members not to post their email address but I am unfamiliar with the system and unsure if I will get your reply. If I don't get a reply, I will resend this.
Hope you had a great Christmas,
Vern Duvall

Hi Vern
If you click the little scroll thing on the left hand side under the posters name you can send them a private message with your email address. The poster should then receive and email letting them know they have a personal message on this site. :)
I think you have to make a couple of more posts on the site to allow you to PM someone. Try posting your interests or something on a new thread :)
