From: Alan Carter - here is the entry for our Strange family
Debbie Williams' mother is Elizabeth Anne STRANGE born 21 May 1929 daughter of Frank born
5 July 1893 in Hastings he was a son of Alfred W. below.
I'll get the marriage details from her, if she knows. Elizabeth Anne Strange married Norman
Victor Poynton of Liverpool, must have been c1950. (Note from Graham Price - Norman Victor
Poynton of Liverpool was my second cousin once removed; he passed on in 1975 and is laid to
rest by his wife Frances (first wife who- died 1950s, so looks like he married again and
they had Debbie). Debbie Williams will then be my third cousin. If anyone knows of Debbie or
Alan Carter, could they please get in touch..)

Looking
for info on Alice strange poss birth abt 1878. had a son called Albert
Edward Bazen c1897, possible father Thomas Bazen possibly from Portsmouth,
Beeding or Baring area.
I have been having some luck with the census returns and think I may have
unraveled some of our mystery. However, none of it is proven as yet. I'm
little stuck as to how to prove any of it as the person in the middle
of it all is baby Albert Edward b 1897 who was known as Albert Edward Bazen
in later life and said that he was illegitimate and that he was brought up by
an aunt and his mother then went on to have more children and she died young.
I can't find any Albert Edward Bazen references but have found Albert
Strange in a family where everything else fits. Unfortunately his birth certificate
shows him as Albert Edward Bazen and appears to say that Alice and father Thomas
Bazen were married. There are no references for this and we have no explanation
as to why he would be Albert Strange as a child and then become Bazen in adult
life;.other than that he joined the navy as a young boy (poss age 9 or 10) and
maybe then he would have used his father's name and it stuck.
I see from
this website there is William Strange the railway line worker in 1881
and say he is one of Stan Judge's Rellies.
Here is what I have come up with
1891
Census Steyning, Sussex - See above:
1881 Census, Botolphs, Shoreham, Sussex, Railway Cottages, RG11; Piece: 1101;
Folio: 7; Page: 4;
Father: William Strange 36, Head, Platelayer On
The Line , born Hanney, Berkshire, England
Wife Mary Jane
Household
Members:Charles Anscombe 17; Ada Strange 1; Alice Strange 3; Emma Strange 6;
Mary
Jane Strange 34; Sarah Strange 8; William Strange 36; William Strange 10
In 1901 - the father appears to have died.
Deaths Sep 1897 :Strange
William 52 Steyning 2b 190
Mother is living with daughter Ada - now shown as Ada Tuck married but no
sign of husband who I think she married Jan-Mar 1901.
Marriages Mar 1901
STRANGE
Ada
Steyning 2b 429
Tuck
William John Steyning
2b 429
Also there is a 3 year old Albert Strange which we think may well be Alice's
son Albert Edward Strange - who later took on his father's name of Albert Edward
Bazen. The census shows him as son of the mother who is 52 years old which seems
unlikely.
1901 Steyning, Sussex Census RG13; Piece: 947; Folio: 54; Page: 9; Sched
50
Albert Ed Strange 3 Son Mother's name: Mary Jane born: Broadwater,
Sussex, England
Household Members:
Mary Ann Mace 82 (boarder/lodger);
Albert Ed Strange 3 son (although we suspect this is actually Alice's
son);
David Strange 14 son; Florence S Strange 16 dau; Mary Jane Strange
52 (widow)
Ada Tuck 21 (married) .
Meanwhile - although not possible to prove - Alice appears to be working
nearby as a servant in 1901:

If baby Albert Strange is Albert Edward Bazen then he had
a son also called Albert Edward Bazen who joined the RAF and died
in a plane crash in 1950. I found this posting on and RAF
site which gave us lots of info to follow up on; from 'Last
Take Off':
"5 April 1950 Wellington T10 NC615 2ANS West
of Horam, E Sussex. The a/c was descending in a very steep
dive and at about 1000' it broke up. The reason for the initial
dive could not be established.
