Sir Edward Hall Alderson, KCB, KBE (2 June 1864 – 7 March 1951) was a British public servant and Clerk of the Parliaments from 1930 to 1934.[1]
Alderson was born on 2 June 1864 in New Zealand. He was a son of Francis John Alderson and Jane Irvin Black, a daughter of Dr. Thomas Black and Charlotte (née Leatham) Black.[2]
He came a legal family; his grandfather, Sir Edward Hall Alderson, was a Baron of the Exchequer (whose daughter married Robert Gascoyne-Cecil, 3rd Marquess of Salisbury), and his great-grandfather, Robert Alderson, was Recorder of Norwich, Yarmouth and Ipswich.[2]
He attended Brasenose College, Oxford, before he was called to the bar in 1890.[2]
