Hello Folks - I am a contributor to the Alderley Edge History Group and am currently researching the Crewdson families which lived in the village.  The family is mentioned in Katharine Chorley's book "Manchester Made Them" as one of the wealthiest and most influential in the village.  A problem I have is that some of the contact details on this page e.g. "spinningtheweb org uk" and the website crewdson family btinternet co uk are no longer operational, so if anyone who knows any details of the Crewdsons who lived in Alderley Edge I would be most grateful.  Looking forward to any contributions.  Kind regards.

This is interesting. The original BT site was mine but I use Ancestry now. A long time has passed since doing that and I didn't take a copy of the content. My family branch is a different one to Alderley Edge one but with the relatively rarity of the name there must be a link somewhere. I can trace my family back to the south Lakes at the start of the 19th century.
I think the Alderley Edge Crewdsons come from the Wakefield, Crewdson & Co, Kendal Bank that was ultimately absorbed into my current employer, Barclays. Despite my efforts to claim ownership, It seems to be falling on deaf ears.
The name does seem to have an interesting past. More than will to share my knowledge on the name. Please let me know.
