It is worth noting that all the Warde-Aldams, are
in truth, members of the Pease family. Now after his brotherJohn died,
William decided to change his name to Aldam as well, by RoyalLicence in
1810. There was clearly some advantage to changing names, if
you were to benefit from inheriting estates through a maternalgrandmother.
Death also given as 4 May 1842
