The Lloyd Family


Christopher Alderson (Lloyd) Alderson

Birth: 29 September 1790

Baptism: 14 May 1793, in Saint Stephen, Coleman Street, London, England

Father: William Lloyd

Mother: Kitty Alderson (Lever) Lloyd

Married: Mary Metcalfe on 18 September 1811, in Saint Leonards, Shoreditch, London, England. I wonder if Mary was one of the Wensleydale Metcalfes, a very prominent family in that area. In any event, Christopher and Mary soon moved back to Askrigg, close to Nappa Hall, the Metcalfe seat.

Children:
 Claire Freestone lists a different set of children of Christopher Alderson (Lloyd) Alderson (with an unnamed wife) viz. Christopher LLOYD ALDERSON, William LLOYD ALDERSON, Fanny LLOYD ALDERSON, Margaret LLOYD ALDERSON, Robert LLOYD ALDERSON, Kate LLOYD ALDERSON, Emma LLOYD ALDERSON, but I struggle to find supporting evidence of this, and have difficulty reconciling it with the above.

Death: 1845, in Brighton district, Sussex, England

Notes: Christopher entered the East India Company's Army in 1809 as an officer cadet.  In accordance with the will of his great-uncle Christopher Alderson, who died in 1810, Christopher Alderson Lloyd changed his name "by sign manual" in 1812 to Christopher Alderson Alderson. It seems he did not stay long in the Army after receiving his large inheritance, since he married in London in 1811, and then moved back to Askrigg, Yorkshire, where he and Mary had six children between 1813 and 1824. At the dedication of a memorial to his great-uncle at the church in Askrigg in 1819, Christopher is at Woodhall Park, near Askrigg. We find him in Woodhall in Baines's Directory of 1823 as a member of the Gentry, and in Pigot's Directory for 1829 for Askrigg, he is living at Woodhall Park. We do not, however, see him in the Pigot's for Askrigg in 1834, nor in the 1841 Askrigg census and know that he was in Brighton at the time of his death in 1845.

Evidently he, too passed on a good deal of wealth  - in 1848, a private Act of the House of Lords was required to deal with shares of the estate owned by two of his children who were mentally ill:
Private Act (Printed), 11 & 12 Victoria I, c. 19 (1848)
An Act for vesting the Two undivided Sixth Shares of Christopher Alderson a Lunatic, and Mary Alderson Spinster, a Person of unsound Mind, as Two of the Six Children of Christopher Alderson Alderson deceased, in certain Freehold Estates in the Counties of Middlesex, Hertford, and York, in Trustees in whom the other Four undivided Sixth Shares are now vested, upon trust for Sale.

Christopher's arms reflected a mixture of his Lloyd and Alderson ancestry:
(CHRISTOPHER ALDERSON ALDERSON, of Homerton, Middlesex, Esq., who, by sign manual 1812, changed his patronymic LLOYD for the name of ALDERSON only).
ARMS:..Argent three saracens' heads affrontee couped at the shoulders proper wreathed about the temples of the first and sable quartering azure three boars' heads couped in pale or, for LLOYD.
CRESTS:..A dove, holding in the beak an olive branch proper, for ALDERSON; and a boars' head couped or, for LLOYD.

Baptism: 14 May 1793, in Saint Stephen, Coleman Street, London, England

Mother: Kitty Alderson (Lever) Lloyd

Married: John Charretie

Notes: A "Mrs. Charretie" was a sponsor at the baptism of Annie Ethelreda Plumbe (Kitty's grand-niece) on 6 December 1859, and this is likely Kitty since any other females descended from this marriage would not be "Mrs. Charretie".

Father: William Lloyd

Mother: Kitty Alderson (Lever) Lloyd

Notes: Mary Ann is not mentioned in the will of her great-uncle Christopher Alderson in 1810, although four of her siblings are named in the will, and so it is likely that Mary Ann died before 1810.
