| Albert Edmund Valder (1877-1938) was born in Folkestone, Kent, the fourth child of the eight born to Alfred Peter Valder (1846-1904) and Emma ANDREWS (1849-1929). Alfred worked as a horse-drawn cab driver and brought his family to Brighton in about 1882. The last three children were born at Brighton where Alfred worked for a Telegraph company. Albert's youngest sister, Alice Elizabeth Valder (1892-?), married George Thomas MARCHANT at Brighton in 1916. It's not known whether the Marchants had any children but George registered the death of Emma Valder [Andrews] when she died in 1929 at his house in Brighton.

| One of Albert's brothers, Percy Alfred Valder (1880-1945), left England after his first wife died a fortnight after they were married. He went to Canada and joined the police force in Manitoba, Canada. This police force eventually became part of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (the Mounties). He died in Winnipeg. I am indebted to Beulah Caswell of Saskatchewan for much of this information.

| The Valders living in the Brighton area today are all descended from
Albert Edmund (1877-1938) or his older brother, Frederick George (1869-1937). Frederick married Minnie Gertrude STEVENS (1867-1922) at Brighton in 1892 and they had seven children.

| Together with my mother's cousin, Bob Valder (son of Alfred John & Mary Elizabeth [ADCOCK]), I am conducting a study of all the UK Valders. Our earlier Valder ancestors are detailed on the Kent Valders page. The VALDER One-Name Study page gives details about the other UK Valders. Bob started the research ten years before me but he hasn't been actively researching for a long time.
