Remarks

There were a number of families by the name of Aldersey living in and around Chester at this time. It is possible that this was William Aldersey (by 1513-1577) who was mayor of Chester and MP for the city three times. He was reportedly not favourable to the Elizabethan religious settlement. A biography of this man is available at the History of Parliament online.
