JOSEPH ALDERSON BORN 1882

There are many Alderson's & Cleasby's in my family tree - from Durham and North Yorks in particular (Swaledale; Ravenseat, Thwait and Muker areas.
I have been to visit the old Cleasby farm, Ravenseat.In his will of 1809 John Cleasby mentions his grandson J ALDERSON and his grandaughters JANE, ELEANOR, MALLY AND NANCY of 'Close Hills' (which is now a derelict house in Ravenseat.) Apparently there are still many Aldersons in Muker.
The family links also to Brough, Appleby & Kirby Stephen in Cumbria and to Romaldkirk(N Yorks but now part of Durham)and to Crook, Willington and Durham.Names also closely linked are Allison, Hodgson and Dent to name a few.
