Maybe of use to someone researching the STRANGE family in MDX. Worth checking out the card index at Uxbridge Library Local Studies Room or the census entry for more info on the STRANGE presence in the area (Brickfield connections?). It may relate to the same STRANGE household that I recently posted for 1881 Census Hillingdon which were all shown as Norwood births.

From Marg McLaughlin
I have two STRANGE death certificates from Chelsea in the district of Kensington:
1838 Jul 05 at 4 Malboro Street William STRANGE  18 son of Thomas STRANGE clerk cause of death epilepsy, informant Sarah STRANGE
1838 Dec 21 at 4 Malboro Street Thomas Devonshire STRANGE 16 clerk cause of death diseased hip informant Thomas STRANGE 4 Malboro Street.
These boys are part of the Northampton family of STRANGEs; their father, Thomas STRANGE, then moved to Dartford, Kent where these boys were baptized.  They later moved from Dartford to Chelsea

From Kay  April 2006
I am looking for the parents of George Strange. His mother was Martha White and father George Strange. He was baptised on 31 July 1822 at St Luke's, Chelsea.  Lived, I think, at College Terrace, Middlesex. A brother was Frances born 1825, also baptised at St Luke's and maybe sisters Lucy, 1829, and Martha, 1830. Their address was stated as Robert St.  The family came to Australia, as George married Emma Terrey in 1856 in Melbourne, Australia. Hope some one in England can help me.

Fro Angela Robertson April/May 2007
My grandmother was Maude Adelaide Strange born 3rd April 1888, daughter of George Walter Strange and Caroline Stange (nee Woolford) registered at Chelsea North West register office in the county of Middlesex number 201.  Also George Walter Strange,was born in Chelsea on 2nd February 1855 and his parents William John STRANGE and Caroline TAPERNOUX, who married on the Isle of Thanet, Kent in 1846.

The Jacobite engraver Robert Strange and his wife Isabel were close friends of the Burneys and mentioned often in the diaries.

Knightsbridge - St Paul's
From Ann Hentschel  Sarnia, Ontario, Canada in August 2005. I am connected to Anne STRANGE. The following is from FFOULKES Family of Eriviat Pedigree in the County of Denbeigh, Wales.

Marriage:
1860 Jul 26 Anne STRANGE, 5th daughter and 12th child of the late Sir Thomas Andrew William Lumisden STRANGE, K', late Chief Justice of Madras (& son of Sir Robert STRANGE, K' the eminent engraver) of 2 Chesham Place, Pimlico, London. - married - Edmund Salusbury FFOULKES, B.D., born Jan. 12, 1819.

Andrew Sellon   responded; my interest originates in Sir Robert STRANGE who married Isabella LUMSDEN, d. of William Lumsden, as my sister married a LUMSDEN. In  addition there are links between these STRANGEs and the DUNDAS family of my paternal
grandmother. Here is a story to share concerning Robert Strange's (Sir to be) escape when being pursued by the loyalists after the
Jacobean disaster at Culloden:
"….When hotly pressed, he (Strange) dashed into the room where the lady, whose zeal had enlisted him in the fatal cause, sate singing at her needle work, and, failing other means of concealment was indebted for safety to her prompt intervention. As she quickly raised her hooped gown, the affianced lover disappeared beneath its ample contour, where, thanks to her cool demeanour and unflattering notes, he lay undetected, while the rude soldiery vainly ransacked the house."  The lady was Isabella Lumsden, whom he later married.

Their father was William Robert Strange born abt 1873 and his father was John Robert Strange born abt 1851 in Wiltshire. My Grandfather William Robert Strange married May Gertrude Barwick in Islington London in 1902 . I believe my  great grandfather, John Robert  Strange,  was in the Amy and William my Grandfather may have been born in Ireland and his siblings possibly born in Gibraltar and Colchester as this is the only names that  seem to match with my Family.

Francis STRANGE married Mary Ashmonall in Southwold in 1818.  He was a shoemaker. He was born in 1794 son of Samuel Strange and Elizabeth Samkin.

Birth:
1877 Jun 23 Frederic James, son of John James STRANGE, labourer, and Emma STRANGE formerly Tovey, Mother signs, resident at 31 Aston St

From Nicola (nicolaclose{at}lineone{dot}net) 21 Mar 2005 Liz Horner and I have a Francis William STRANGE, cordwainer, as father on the marriage cert for our Francis STRANGE and Ellen Welton at St Dunstan's church , Stepney in 1844 (Mary STRANGE is a witness). I also see there is a death in Hackney of Francis STRANGE in Mar 1854 (1b 234). Our Francis is already dead by then (1851).

Marg Keable said: Most of my Suffolk STRANGE families moved to London and its environs around 1800 and they were in a variety of trades from shoemakers to coopers etc. Francis who was married to Frances had quite a few children around the 1790 period. His son Francis became a wine merchant and moved to Abingdon as did his brother William. They had children also. But the Francis who married Frances's brothers also moved to London and also had children and probably half of them were also named Francis. My Francis who married Mary was baptised in Southwold on the 20 Oct 1794 and married Mary in 1818. He is mentioned in Pigot's for Suffolk in 1823 as a shoemaker but by the 1839 Pigot's Directory is no longer there. His uncle was London which is where a number of them appeared to go. Nicola said: Our Francis was 27years old when he died 20/01/1851 in Hackney (before the census) and was an omnibus driver married to Ellen. His father was Francis the shoemaker (cordwainer). Hopefully the one that Linda found in the workhouse age 54 in 1851 would be about right.
Interestingly our Francis had a daughter Matilda as well as twins Francis and Ellen.
Are there any twins in your STRANGEs? (Also sadly he had a son Henry born 1/2/1851)

The following from Chris Ridgewell, Orpington in Kent, to my father in 1988. 
"My maternal grand father was Edwin Ernest STRANGE, born 1895 Feb 2 in Holborn, his father as E. STRANGE and it was thought he may have been a Mayor of Royal Tonbridge Wells in Kent. Edwin's mother was a Miss SIMPSON, his father's mistress!  Edwin's sister, Stella, was also born to the same relationship and, with Edwin, was placed with a foster 'Granny' at the age of 5 or 6 and never had contact with either parents from that time.  Their births were not apparently registered!

4. Subject: Dr William's Library, Middlesex
From Marg Keable
All the following were born at  St Luke's Old Street, Middlesex, their father was Francis STRANGE (born in South Elmham, Suffolk) married mother Frances STOCKING/STOCKENS at Mendham and moved to Middlesex (mother's father William STOCKING). Slowly many of the Southwold STRANGE people also moved to London.
Births:
1786 Aug 21 William STRANGE
1796 Aug 29 Jabez STRANGE
1797 Dec 22 Frances STRANGE (female)

Marg says some of her tree, the descendants of Frances and Francis STRANGE in London, are also
in the trees of Paul and Dave STRANGE as they are all descend from the Suffolk STRANGE family.

Mary STRANGE, sister to my gg grandmother and to Francis STRANGE, who moved to London, has her
descendants on the web at the STERRY WORLDWIDE web site because she married a STERRY and it is
the subject of a one name study. They also belong to us.

From Susan Barsby Oct 2004
I'm the granddaughter of Patricia Joan STRANGE. I'm now concentrating my genealogy efforts on my grandmother's line. I am seeking more details about Job STRANGE, born 1838/40 in Bedfont. He married Caroline Evans (born Pinner, 1840) and had at least 3 children: Caroline E STRANGE, William Job STRANGE (my great grandfather) and Ellen J STRANGE. In 1881 census he and his wife were living at 16 Myddleton Place, he as a pork butcher and the children were staying with their aunt on their mother's side Elizabeth Evans on Buckingham Palace Road (RG11 0108/63 22) By 1901 census, Job, Caroline and the 2 girls were living at 6 Goswell Terrace, Clerkenwell. (RG13 255/20 31) William Job STRANGE had married the day before the 1901 census to my great grandmother Rose Ayling. They were at 24 Kimberley Gardens, Tottenham and William Job was a carver in dining rooms. They had 7 children, the youngest of whom, Patricia Joan STRANGE was my grandmother. I am wondering whether Job STRANGE is the same as the Job born to Timothy and Mary in Bedfont (thanks to Yvonne Stone for this possibility) but have no proof! - can anyone help? 

A reply From Ed Hanson Oct 2004
Yes, the Job STRANGE, who lived at various addresses in London, was the man born at Bedfont.  The 1871 clearly lists Job STRANGE, 32, unm, butcher, born at "Bedfont", a visitor in the household of Frederick Cowper, 3 Spring Terrace, Lambeth (Vauxhall Ward).  I have only seen the transcription of the 1881 census which gives the birthplace as "Bedford".  The 1891 census gives "London" as the birthplace; while the 1901 clearly says "Bedford" again.  However, since the only two Job STRANGEs who appear in the censuses are this man and his nephew Job John STRANGE, it seems pretty conclusive that you have the right man.

His line goes back to my ancestor, Thomas STRANGE of Watlington:

1.  Thomas STRANGE of Watlington, Oxfordshire, married at Watlington, 30 Sept 1661 (also recorded 1664) Anne Beesley (Beasley; his name spelled Straunge).  She was buried there ("Anne Strang, wife of Thomas"), 3 July 1695.  He was buried at Watlington 13 Aug. 1706.
2.  John STRANGE, buried at Nettlebed, Oxon, 13 Oct. 1712; m Katherine ---, who was buried at Nettlebed, 16 Jan. 1701/2.  He married second at Rotherfield Peppard, Oxon, 8 July 1702 Katherine Wilder of Nettlebed, who was mentioned in his will.
3.  William STRANGE, bp. at Nettlebed, 25 Sept. 1693; d 6 June 1746 (g.s.) and was buried at Nettlebed the same day; m  at Nettlebed, 3 Oct 1714 (Bishop's Transcript gives 13 Dec.) Ann Baily, who was buried there, 24 Dec. 1737.
4.  Thomas STRANGE, bp. at Nettlebed, 2 Dec 1733; bur Turville, Bucks, 5 March 1818, age 85, blacksmith of Turville Heath; m Turville, Bucks, 12 June 1760 Mary Clement, bur Turville, 7 Nov 1789
5.  John, bp Turville, Bucks, 30 June 1771; d Summer Heath, bur Turville, 26 March 1853; m Turville, 1 May 1797 Ann Clewer, bur Turville, 24 March 1856, age 83
6.  Timothy STRANGE, bp Turville, 19 June 1803; d 1866; m Mary —.
7.  Job STRANGE, b Bedfont, c1839; m 1872 Caroline Evans, b Middlesex, c1841

From John and Margaret Moore Oct 2004
Ed, I didn't realize before that you are related to my wife. The first four generations you show are her direct ancestors, but she is descended from the second John's brother, William. The first John's first wife was Katherine Butler. He married her at Nettlebed 5 Dec 1687, his surname being recorded as Strong. She had a brother, William, and their parents were William and Elizabeth (Aldridge). All this is from the Nettlebed PRs, but I can give you more details if you want.

From Rae Fether in August 2005

An Adminstration for James Strange was sworn by his wife Elizabeth Bailey Strange for the sum of One thousand pounds at the London Consistory Court in 1824:

"On the ninth day of December One thousand and eighteen hundred and twenty four Administration of all said .............. the Goods Chattels and ......... of ....... James Strange ........ of Wardour Street Soho in the County of Middlesex Plumber and Glazier .deceased was ....? ..ommitted and granted to Elizabeth Bailey Strange Widow the Relict of the said deceased  having been first sworn duly to administer."

However in the Estate Duty Register where one would expect to see some detail on what duty was paid on "Sum sworn under 1000 " pounds there was only a signed note...." £29 ret' (? could be returned or retained?) on the grounds of Debts.  It seems that James had misled his wife about the state of his finances. I have not found out where he died or was buried but he died before the birth of his youngest son Frederick Metzner Strange on 28 December 1825 who was no doubt named after his uncle William Lloyd Metzner. Elizabeth Bailey Strange's  sister Mary Thompson was married to William Lloyd Metzner

The family stayed on at Wardour Street for a year or so according to the rates, later appearing in Nelson Street, Greenwich in the 19841 Census. In the same road lived Elizabeth Bailey Strange's mother,  Mrs Mary Clementson, (previously Thompson, nee Bailey), who died in 1838 leaving an estate of around £9000. 

The will of James Thompson Strange, eldest son of James Strange:
On the 27th day of September 1869 the Will with two Codocils, thereto of James Thompson late of No 19 Alfred Street  and of No 5 Francis Street, Tottenham Court Road in the County of Middlesex Wine and Spirits Merchant Deceased, who died on the 28th day of April 1869 at No19 Alfred Street aforesaid was proved in the Principal  Registry of Her Majesty's Court of Probate, by Oath Of Martha Strange of No 19 Alfred Street and of No 5 Francis Street aforesaid Widow the Relict and James Walter Strange of the "London" Coffee House Ludgate Hill in the City Of London Wine Merchant the son  the Executors named in the Will and Francis Thompson Strange of No 7 Stratford Road Hastings in the County of Sussex Hosier the Brother the Executor named in the second codicil, they having been first sworn duly to administer,               Effects under £8000

The Estate Duty Register gives a fairly clear picture of its intention:
"to sell and proceeds to Relict for life with power to advance any part not exceeding 1/2 expected to..............(the children) and on her death equally............  (to children) at 21 but on................." "power to carry on business" 

Children were: James Walter Strange, Orlando Bailey, Frederick William, Elizabeth Patty and Frank Hastings.
Orlando received £570 on 19th October 1882, (probably for his marriage), on which duty was paid.   After the death of Martha Strange in December 1884 the sum of only £2605 was left to be distributed to the children and duty was paid on the sum.  Between 1869 and 1884 Martha and the children appeared to have got through about £5000 of the original £8000 estate.

James Walter Strange, my great grandfather, probably took over his father's business and sadly went into liquidation in 1880., causing a family rift

Subject: Middlesex lookup request:
I wonder if anyone on the list might have access to the parish records of St. Marylebone, St. Mary in Middlesex The IGI lists the marriage of a Thomas STRANGE and Mary PEPPER on 4 June 1804. I would be very interested in whether the record shows Thomas to be a widower and of Kingston, Surrey-- if so then these two would be my ancestors, if not, back to the drawing board. I would also appreciate it if list members would keep their eyes open for the marriage of a Thomas STRANGE and Lydia (----) about 1786-89. Their first child was born in Kingston in Dec 1789.

From Sara Scott (nee Lazenby) Mar 2004
My Great Grandfather was Thomas Wait STRANGE b.1860 England (Found Q1 1861 Thomas Whate STRANGE, Chelsea, Mike S.), died December 14, 1928. (I have his funeral arrangement papers and a little remembrance card from the funeral and they both have spelt his name Whate.) Married Sarah Ann Mackness in 1894 in Northampton, Northamptonshire

I have letters his siblings wrote to him while he was away at war around 1900-1901. One was signed by 'your loving sister Louisa' and another was signed 'your loving brother and sister Harry & Annie'. The address on the letter from Harry and Annie was '42 Mortimer Rd., Kingsland N, London'. The letters I have from his wife Sarah Ann STRANGE nee. Mackness was '61 Palmerston St. Battersea Park Road, London S.W.'.

I want to find out what happened to Louisa, Annie and Harry.

My Grandmother was Lilian Ada Lazenby, nee STRANGE, born  December 21, 1897.  Now I have found that she had a brother Thomas Harry STRANGE b.1896 and sister Jennie Emily L STRANGE b.1895. Her marriage licence states her father as Thomas Wait STRANGE and he has signed his name that way too. 

Found in 1881 census (Mike S):
Possibly two brothers John and James, both much older than Thomas, (all born in Chelsea) and their mother Caroline.

From: Ruth Bowskill
I have the birth certificate of my Great Grandmother Rose Alice HAYWARD Rose was born on 27th March 1883,at 1 Alfred cottages, Turnham green, Chiswick, Middlesex. Her father John Thomas HAYWARD, Her mother Rachel Hayward formerly STRANGE.  John Thomas Hayward's occupation being Carman / Carrier (see below) On putting these names into the search engine your STRANGE website came up!   The last child listed to Rachel STRANGE and John Hayward, was John Hayward born 1878 - 1880, my Great Grandmother being born in 1883 I understand that Rose was disowned by her family around 1905 when she married 'beneath her', and had no more contact with her family. She lived in Hounslow all her life. As I live in West Wales I have not yet had the chance to look at any census returns, so can't tell you much more. If these people are not connected it will make my family history much harder, there will be two John and Rachel Hayward's of about the same age, and both in the Brentford area.

The family can be found in the 1881 Census at 1 Alfred Cottages, Chiswick, Middlesex, England. Source: RO Ref RG11 Piece 1351 Folio 116 Page 35. The family was submitted by Yvonne Stone.  Lucy, one of John and Rachel Hayward's children, was born 1872 and was Yvonne's grandmother.

Ruth later said that ....
I contacted you about a year ago with regards my great-great-grandmother, Rachel STRANGE of Bedfont Middlesex.  Yvonne Stone and I are related; two of Rachel STRANGE's daughters, Lucy, Yvonne's Grandmother, and Rose, my great-grandmother married two 'Edwards' brothers, - a bit complicated, but it meant that we share even more relatives!

From Trish Marshall nee Strange told us about the following ancestors in October 2006:

Benjamin Strange
John Strange [her g.grandfather *]
John Arthur Strange
Stanley Arthur Strange

All were from St Pancras and Islington,

* Marriage: GRO Pancras June quarter 1874 1b 172 , St Andrews Haverstock Hill, John Strange, 20, railway fireman, residing at 11 Gospel Oak Grove father Benjamin, bricklayer, married Amy Morris, residing at 8 Percival Street, daughter of William Morris, pianoforte maker, witnesses all Morris. Trish said she could not find GRO references to fit the Benjamin/John connection has so far produced nothing.  John Strange was later an engine driver, living in St Pancras. My father, Stanley Arthur Strange 1915-1959, told of :
i)   a connection with the French Navy.
ii)  connections with Suffolk
iii) connections with cattle and Scotland - correct - maternal Gregory family of drovers.
iv)  there is also the female name LOUIE. John's 2nd dau was Louie and I had an aunt Louie.
Perhaps fantasy , well, maybe!

From Caroline Tilbury September 2006
I'm interested in the Thames Watermen named Tilbury [Tylbery, etc.] STRANGE. IGI lists 2 marriages:
Tilbury STRANGE m. Lettice TUBBINS 02 February 1625 St. Dunstan, Stepney, London
Tilbury STRANGE m. Mary FINICOMB   11 March    1633 St. Dunstan, Stepney, London

Tilbury STRANGE was on a now defunct page as elected one of the Rulers of the Thames Watermen 5 March 1638/9, 3 March 1630/1, 6 March 1637/8 and 5 March 1638/9.  On the same site is the 'Admiralty Muster' of 1628[9]:

Tylbury STRANGE, K[ing]s serveant, age 40, ?0 voyages" attached to the port of "Ratcliffe" (parish of Stepney, Middlesex)  Probably the given name was from the port, but not necessarily so
[Another reference on that site said:
"STRANGE, TILBURY. 1631, 38, 39. Of Ratcliff, aged 40 in Feb. 1628/9 (P.R.O., SP 16/135 [4], fo. 46v. Will made 23 Dec. 1641, proven 28 Jan. 1641/2: of Upper Shadwell, Stepney parish; not specific as to his estate, but refers in general terms to his leases, houses and personal estate (G.L., commissary court wills register 1639-42, 9171/28, fos. 347v - 348r)". - Ed]

If you come across any more of them, or their children, I'd be interested, I have a site on the Tilbury name (UK)

From Judy October 2006
My maternal grandmother was Eileen Maude Strange b 1880 in Emerald Hill, Melbourne, Australia, my great grandfather was George Twining Strange b 1857 in Prahran, Melbourne, Australia, my great great grandfather was George Strange b 1822 Chelsea, London and my great, great, great grandfather was also a George Strange, whose date of birth I am yet to confirm.  I believe that he married Martha White in 1817 at Saint Mary Magdalene, Bermondsey, London.

From Linda in November 2006.  I am descendant of Edward Strange (born Hounslow c1841). I am a descendant of Edward, his daughter Anne, married my great, great, grandfather, Joseph Watts. They had one son, Edward Henry, I think Anne died a year or two after.  However, Betsey (Anne's sister) then married Joseph and they had two further children. Looking for any desendants in common.

I've searched the internet to see if a pub in Union Street, Aldershot, still existed, I don't think it does, however, I came across your site which listed a Betty Judge interested in Edward Strange (b. 1821 Littleton (Hounslow)), he was a beerkeeper/publican in a pub, The Builders Arms, 20 Union St, Aldershot.

Jennifer Case said in December 2006:
My first husband´s family.  His mother was Beatrice STRANGE born 1911 in Hong Kong.  Her father was Ernest STRANGE born 1880 in Marylebone.  His father was  Richard STRANGE born 1843 in Marylebone. Any matches?

Nicola said that for some time she and Liz Horner have been trying to pin down the right Francis Strange (husband of our gggrandmother). A likely candidate was one connected to Marge Keeble's family - son of Francis and Mary Ashmonell. This seemed likely because of the dates and also that the father Francis was a shoemaker (as on our gggrandmother's marriage cert).However, I have now found what I believe to be Marge's Francis on the 1841 census with the right children's names:
RG number: HO107 Piece: 693 Folio: 10\8 Page: 9
Clare Street, St Matthew Bethnal Green, Tower Hamlets
Francis, shoemaker, aged 45 - NOTP
Gorge, Carrier 20; - NOTP
Matilda, 15; Francis, 12; Mary, 10; Fanney, 6 - all Middlesex

Unfortunately, our Francis jnr was of full age when married in 1844 and so this is unlikely to be ours.

There is another Francis, aged 18 in 1841:
RG number:  HO107  Piece: 489 Folio: 1\28 Page: 1 Nelson Street, South, Greenwich:
STRANGE, ????;  F; 48; Milliner       
STRANGE, Emily; F; 20
STRANGE, Francis; M; 18
STRANGE, Frederick; M; 16
FLETCHERS, Hannah; F; 28
WOOLET, Ann; F; 14
FOAT, Mary; F; 21; Kent
This would be the right age - does anyone know anything of this family?

Francis William Strange, coachman; father Francis William Strange, cordwainer.m.08/10/1844 to Ellen Elizabeth Welton St Dunstan's Stepney - both full age, witnesses W Welton, Mary Strange d. Stoke Newington, 20/01/1851, aged 27, omnibus driver, (pthisis), informant E Welton children: Francis William Strange b  1846 Hackney Ellen Frances Strange b 1846 Hackney Matilda Strange b 1848 West Hackney Henry Strange b 01/02/1851 Stoke Newington (12 days after Francis' death)

Another possible candidate in 1841 under the name William - which would fit the occupations:
RG number: HO107 Piece: 700 Folio: 6\19  Page: 31
Hartwell Street, Hackney, West, Tower Hamlets
STRANGE, Francis; M; 50; Shoe M; Middlesex
STRANGE, Wm; M; 20; Coachman; Middlesex
STRANGE, Martha; F; 21; Dress M; Middlesex
STRANGE, Hannah; F; 51; Middlesex
STRANGE, Desdemona; F; 11; Middlesex

This family appears in 1851 without Wm:59 Tyssen Passage
Francis Strange; Head; 60; Shoemaker; MDX Hackney
Hannah Strange; Wife; 60; OXF
Martha Strange; Dau; 30; Dressmaker; MDX Hackney
Desdamona Strange; dau; 21; MDX Hackney
James Cornwede; grandson; 11; Scholar; Bethnal Green
Francis Strange;  grandson; 5; Hackney

This Francis snr died 5/1/1855, 1, Tyssen place, Dalston, West Hackney aged 65, Boot and shoemaker; synochus 14 days certified, informant Caroline Cornwell, present at death, 1, Tyssen Place. (I guess Cornwede in 1851 is actually Cornwell)

From Terence (Terry) John Strange in March 2007
b. 1935 Southampton, England m. 1963 St John's Church, Old Coulsdon, Surrey
Here is his family tree; a key member was Frederick Charles Strange, b. 1869 Strand, London, m. 1897 Basingstoke, Hants, d. 1948 Portsmouth, Hants.

From Ann  in April 2007
Does anyone have a Thomas Shaw Strange marrying Elizabeth Rigg in 1847 at St Brides, West London in their tree?

Trish Marshall found this sad little entry 1861 census:
Commercial Street Boys Refuge Whitechapel North Hy STRANGE, 11, pupil, b. Middx London

Also the intriguing 1861 St Mary Paddington CHARLES STRANGE, 6, boarder b. China
