Directory for 1853 states that the business was "established upwards of eighty years", that is in 1773, which is based on the
fact that he took over the business of C.W. Drury (q.v.) between 1823 and 1837. He sold "gold and silver watches of the
best qualities both English and Foreign. English and French clocks, Jerome's American clocks warranted perfect from 15s

1.11 Oxford Diocesan Marriage Bonds and Affidavits, 1661-1850.
From Ed Hanson
These entries cover Marriage bonds and affidavits issued by the Bishop of Oxford, taken from a multi-volume typescript at
the Centre for Oxfordshire Studies. There is a separate set for the licenses issued by the Archdeacon. Note also that
Benson and other surrounding villages appear to be covered in one of two peculiaries, either Monks Risborough or
Banbury, and not by the diocesan or archdiaconal ones. The dates listed are the dates of the license, not of the marriage.

The Manor of Middleton
Alice Lacey married Thomas Earl of Lancaster; he was executed March 1322 and she remarried Sir Ebles Lestrange
without the King's licence but Edward III granted several of Alice's manors; includes Middleton to Ebles Lestrange for life.
They had a son, Roger Lestrange, Lord of Knockin 1348; the line continued for over 100 years.
To the Lestrange whose main estates were in Shropshire; Middleton presented itself as a manor which could conveniently
be assigned to dower, and it was held first by Joan, the widow of Roger Lestrange (d1349) then by Alice widow of
another Roger Lestrange (d1398) then by Maud widow of John Lestrange (d1398). In 1479 on death of John the manor
came into the possession of the Earls of Derby by the marriage of his only daughter and heiress, Joan, to George Stanley.

Watlington
Angela Carter (cartera787(at)hegrid(dot)org(dot)uk said:
In the 1841 census for Watlington, William STRANGE was apprenticed to my ggg grandfather
Thomas SLATTER as a plumber. He was living with the family in Sherburn Street.
High Street, Watlington:
(all born Oxfordshire)
Thomas Slatter 35 Plumber
Jane Slatter 35 Wife
Thomas Slatter 7 Son
George Slatter 6 Son
John Slatter 5 Son
Christopher Slatter 3 Son
Jane Slatter 1 Daughter
William Strange 15 Apprentice Plumber
Ann Germaine 15 Family Servant
The ages of Jane and Thomas have not been recorded properly, as they should
have been rounded down to the nearest five, but have in fact been rounded
up instead. I imagine that this is a mistake on the part of the
person doing the paperwork at the time. Thomas would have been
33 and Jane 31. I did note when I wrote down the details that a family called
Strange were living nearby and wondered if they were William's parents. I
think they may even have been in the same street.
By the time of the 1851 census the family had moved to Henley on Thames.
Jane had died in childbirth in 1845 and John had also died. The
family were living in Bell(?)Street. A William Strange of the correct
age was living nearby and was listed as a plumber. I assumed that
he had moved with the family to complete his apprenticeship and was then working
as a plumber in his own right.

Cato Street Conspiracy: Robert Brayne, mayor of Banbury, to Hobhouse about the character of William Strange, and that
John Strange is unknown to him 1820 Apr 3 - Banbury April 3/ 20
Sir,
William Strange the person, whose character Lord Sidmouth has desired of me, came to settle in this place as a draper
about a year ago, during which time he has conducted himself with seeming propriety, & appears to be under no particular
suspicion of any kind, His native place is Wardington in Northamptonshire five miles from hence. He has lately given out
that he is going to remove to Brackley & nothing further of him than that he is one of those cheap-shop adventurers who do
not stay long in one place. Of the prisoner John Strange we know nothing.

5. The Parishes of Oxfordshire
This list shows the parishes of pre-1974 Oxfordshire. The dates in parentheses are, to the best of my knowledge, the dates
of the earliest existing registers for that parish. If you know otherwise please let me know (Note this reference is only
included until the full extent of each of the registers is known and shown here). For later dates, especially those in the
19th/20th centuries, it indicates the year in which the parish was formed. A place marked "ex.par." was outside the
jurisdiction of any parish, such status was abolished in 1894.

From: Heather Olsen
Subject: William Strange - Farnborough Warks & Banbury Oxf
Asking Paul Strange she said, "Do you have additional info on this William? I do not know
of any connection between my Stranges and him, but as my Stranges have some connections to
both Banbury and Warwickshire, there may be a connection somewhere.
From Banbury records I have baptisms of two of William and Susanna's children:
William Strange bap. 1 Nov 1839
Henry Albert Strange bap. 15 May 1844.
I also have the marriage, 5 June 1821 in Banbury of William Strange, Draper, and Sarah
Haddon. Is this the same William, and Sarah a first wife, or are they two different people?"
Paul replied, "The only thing I can add is that I think a William Strange married a Susannah
Cooper in 1837 (Banbury). This fits the Farnborough MI and the children's birth dates.
Also that Warwickshire Stranges in the 19thC seem to be rare, so it may be worth you looking
further."

1576 Aug 16 Anthony Straung & Ellyn Dring
From Patrick Martin (mart139(at)bellsouth(dot)net)
(law professor Louisiana State University) - 12 Nov 2004
I am writing a paper on a member of the family of Anthony Straunge on your site for 1576-7.
He says, "This data is consistent with what I have learned from other sources including the wills of this Ellyn, her
first husband (Simon Dring) and of Anthony Strange himself. I will probably cite your web-site for this data but I
suppose it might be useful to have a look at the underlying documents if that can be done without too much difficulty.
I’ve ordered the visitations of Oxford and may be able to come up with some additional information via it on the Dring
and Strange families. But I might like to gather some further information on a couple of points and your services might
be useful. From the wills I gather that Ellyn Dring Strange was probably Ellen or Helene Belsyre (Belser, Belcher) before
marriage. I would like to learn what relation if any she had to Alexander Belsyre, a noted Oxford scholar who was the
first president of St Johns College.
A second area of interest to me concerns a property transaction or several.
Thomas Strange became a Jesuit priest (and he was the Oxford student of 1593 that you mention).
He used the aliases of Hungerford and Anderton. It may only be a coincidence but Sir Anthony Hungerford at some point in
the early 1600s acquired an estate at Black Bourton. I’m curious whether this might have been the estate which had been
owned by Simon Dring when he married Ellyn Belser and whether Strange could have been a relative of the Hungerford family.
The Strange family had property in Gloucestershire, and I am interested in discovering if any transactions can be traced
that took place in about 1600 to 1610.

Baptism:
1932 May 21 Frank Leslie Strange, son of Ada May Strange, Bicester, born 16 July 1910
Ada is probably the same Ada Strange of Bicester whose burial was listed at the Littlemore
Hospital, Littlemore, Oxford, 14 March 1927, age 33. She was listed in the 1901 census of
Bicester Market, Oxon:
George Strange 48, b Sutton Courtney Berks, Ironmongers Porter
Mary Strange 47 b Bicester
Edward Strange 19 b Bicester Agricultural Labourer
George Strange 18 b Bicester Agricultural Labourer
Edith Strange 14 b Bicester General Servant
Albert Strange 13 b Bicester Errand Boy Port
Elsie Strange 10 b Bicester
Ada Strange 7 b Bicester
Alice Strange 6M b Bicester.
Her father George, was listed as a mortician, age 25, when he married Mary Ann Leach, 24,
at Bicester, 14 May 1878. Further back, George's father was Henry. Henry Strange wasn't very
good at his age; in the 1861, 1881, and 1901 censuses all list him as being born in Sutton Courtenay,
BUT listed his age in 1861 as 29; in 1881 as 44; in 1901 as 73; and in his burial record in 1908 as 80.
This would put his birthdate anywhere between 1828 and 1837, and I don't find him anywhere else at
present, although obviously not the little boy who was buried in 1817. Henry's wife Amy similarly
seems to have had trouble remembering her age, which varies from 27 in 1861; 40 in 1881; 66 in
1901 census and 64 in her 1901 burial record.

Paul Dandridge, Dorchester & Mary Strange, Newnam, m 11 Nov 1707
From Maisie White, South Africa:
I see you have found my John Strange DANDRIDGE yes that is his name and it follows through at least 3
if not 4 generations I say my as I am trying to piece together the UK DANDRIDGE jigsaw although I am
not one hundred % sure where John the father of the John who married Letitia STRANGE fits into the scenario.
DANDRIDGE JOHN 21 Oct 1760 KINGS WALDEN HERTS STRANGE LETITIA There are about 4 generations from their son
John Strange DANDRIDGE all bearing the same name, with the last of the name as far as I can tell dying in
Tasmania.(See PCC Wills, PROB 11/1940 23 February 1841 Will of Reverend John Strange Dandridge, Rector,
Clerk of Rousham, Oxfordshire .... Ed). This John S DANDRIDGE could be the son of John and Letitia who was
born bef 12/04/1765 or his son JSD born abt 1793 m Susan ? possibly in Worcs but so far I am still
researching and double checking the IGI info which places their son JSD born 1823 in Droitwich and their
daughter Catherine Letitia D 1824 in Inkberrow. There are two links between STRANGE and DANDRIDGE as far
as I know at this time, the above link and the following:

I hope to have the time to write up my own family history; some of it makes quite fascinating reading; meanwhile here are
some of the more juicy bits whilst I get on with the collection of everyone elses STRANGE families!
This is the most significant parish for the history of my own family with John STRANGE c1749-1809 coming most
probably from Long Wittenham, Berkshire, where there is evidence that his ancestors were for about 100 years. His first
marriage was in Caversham but that was short-lived, his wife, Jane DORMER, died in childbed. John later came to Henley
and won the contract to build the new workhouse in 1790/91; now a Grade II listed building. The Contract for this job
(which was worth £1600); and its associated Bond are held in the Oxfordshire Archives References C IV 11/2 F36 and
F37.
John must have stayed around Caversham as this was where one of his sons, John STRANGE 1778-1845, was baptized.
He also was to be a builder and owned a brick kiln at Comp Farm. He died leaving an estate of £800; his fourth wife
Sarah MULCOCK) survived him, Mary Ann COPELAND, Mary GOODALL and Amy HANCOCK didn't!
A son, William Copeland STRANGE 1805-1875 (my great, great, grandfather), got up to all sorts of mischief including a
bankruptcy (The Times, June 25, 1856; pg.6; Issue 22403; col A; Official Appointments and Notices - From the London
Gazette of Tuesday, June 24. Lord Chamberlain's Office, May 31. Bankrupts - William Copeland Strange,
Henley-on-Thames, Bricklayer, July 8, at half-past 1 o'clock, August 6, at 1, at the Bankrupts' Court: solicitors, Messrs.
Surr and Gribble, Abchurch-lane; official assignee, Mr.Stansfeld). There is a family story from a cousin in Canada, Arthur
STRANGE, that William went bankrupt because he was not paid for work he carried out on Reading Jail
William was later to be made an officer of the Local Board, Surveyor, Collector of Rates and Inspector of Nuisances; he
was found to have misappropriated the rates and was sacked. William met his maker in the hospital of the workhouse his
grandfather had built (and he had modified the cess pits there himself).
It was in this very workhouse that my great grandfather, James STRANGE, was to be found in 1881 with his mother and
two sets of twin sisters. ....... more anon.

From Jenny 7 Mar 2003
Subject: William Strange of Holton, Oxon
Has any one any idea where William Strange came from?
He married Anne Harris in Oxford, St Mary Magdalene in 13 Feb 1742/43 and then had
11 children in Holton, Oxon and died in Holton in 1803. By my calculation he must have been
born before 1720 but where. The nearest found was in 1711 Jun 12 William Strange, son
William & Frances in Long Wittenham. Said both of Holton at marriage.

His father was also named Joseph(1836)from Sutton Courtenay who was married to
Ann Collier(1842). Sandra adds, "My grandfather Joseph Strange settled in
Littlemore in the early 1900s , died and was buried along with his wife and
several children at St Mary and St Nicholas Church in Littlemore".

Granted to Frances Strange relict. [Note: I am advised by Kate Partridge that the name "Ropard" should be "Richard",
she has Richard BLUNT as one of her ancestors - MS]
Kate also said in Jan 2006, "I do not know what
the connection is but some of the witnesses on the Strange will are the same
as on Richard Blunts will in 1629. Richard was a yeoman in Mixbury, and seemed
relatively well off. His son , Welsborn, was a linen draper in Bicester and
warrants a mention in the Victoria County Histories. The Blunts/Blounts had
become ag-labs by the middle 1700` s, so lost their wealth fairly quickly. I
feel that they were Catholic as their fortunes faltered after the Inter-regnum.
The Mixbury records only go back to 1645, so I do not know if they are originally
from Mixbury, but we have never found a satisfactory marriage for a Richard
Blunt elsewhere, so I think that they married locally about 1600. There alot
of Blunts in Roade, just a couple of miles north of Mixbury, so I tend to think
that they came from that area. I would be interested to know how they came by
their money as Richard left a 100 pound dowry for his youngets daughter in his
will. I think that I will have to try and interpret manorial records-that will
be a challenge!
Helen Olsen said on 21 Jan 2005:
I am researching the family of John and Joan Strange who had children baptised in Mixbury between 1672 and 1683.
A Richard Strange, who with wife Frances had children baptised there in the same period, is probably John's brother.
A Richard Strange buried there in 1677 may be the father of John and Richard. I have not been able to find baptisms
in Mixbury for John or Richard, but as the Mixbury baptisms only start in 1645, they may have been born before the
records begin. I have also not found a marriage for either of them. I found the will of a Thomas Strange in Mixbury in
the early 1600s. It is too early to be very helpful, but does suggest the family were in the parish quite early.
Has anyone found a marriage for a John Strange and Joan or Richard Strange and Frances in any of the nearby parishes?
Can anyone suggest some other 17th century sources that might be helpful? Are there, for example, surviving quarter
sessions or other court records from this period that might mention this family? Any surviving manorial records for
Mixbury?

"Hi my name is Shirley Beaton, my mom was born in Oxford in 1920 her name was STRANGE and her Dad was Fred STRANGE.
I know I have a cousin named Micheal and he lived in Oxford he would be about 57 now. I have no idea where I just
wanted to say hi, most of my relatives are in England so I will just keep looking."
Dave Beames said:
In my youth (a fair while ago) Messrs Strange's was a large and busy Oxford barber's shop. I think they were somewhere
in the High Street, quite near Carfax, and possibly below street-level (in fact they were actually in Market Street
- Stephanie Jenkins). They had a row of at least a dozen chairs, and they charged 9d for adults and 6d for boys.

From Betty Judge <gjudge@bigpond.net.au> February 2007
I was researching my Cliffords (Mum's family) and found this:
Theophilus Clifford b 1789 Bourton on water Glos son of William
& Elizabeth (Greyhurst) Clifford, married Sarah Goodall
b 1798 Oxford St Aldgate. They had 7 children, the
third a daughter is named MARY GOODALL STRANGE CLIFFORD b
1824 Great Marlow Bucks. Theophilus was a builder of bridges
in the Thames area. One daughter is named Charlotte
Suspensia Clifford b 1928 Marlow. I wonder if she is
named after the suspension bridge there. [Ed - I believe that Sarah
Goodall was the sister of my Mary Goodall married above]
