	Donna There are several people with the first name of Alderman on the 1881 census so presumably it was a given name like any other. Von

Member Since: June 2006 Posts: 246 Send Message	I would like to know if there is a list of Freemen/Aldermen for London between 1900-1920. The reason being that my uncle had an unusual middle name of Alderman which got me thinking that there could possibly be a reason why he was called this. Does anyone else have a member of the family with a name like this and is it more common than I first thought? Many Thanks Donna
