WILTSHIRE - 'STRANGE' AND DERIVATIVES

This list relates to the Sarum Diocese, and includes places such as Wiltshire, Berkshire
and parts of Dorset and Devon. Dean's Marriage Licence Bonds 1763 Oct 31 DURBRIDGE Benjamin, Lab, Grove, Wantage = BROWN Mary, Grove, Wantage THOMAS STRANGE, yeo, Charney was Bondsman. 1754 Mar 13 LAWRENCE, John, wheeler, Highworth = STRAINGE, Mary, Highworth EDMUND STRAINGE, farmer, Broad Blunsdon, Bondsman 1757 Sep 14 HATCHER, Robert, yeo, Broad Blunsdon = LAWRENCE, Martha, Sevenhampton (Highworth) EDMUND STRAINGE, Broad Blunsdon, Bondsman Marriage Licence Bonds 1763 May 21 STRANGE, Henry, yeo, Burghfield = LOVEGROVE, Elizabeth, Tilehurst, Berks LOVEGROVE, Peter, yeo, Tilehurst, Bondsman 1761 Oct 31 DRAPER, William, yeo, Tilehurst = STRANGE, Elizabeth, Tilehurst STRANGE, Henry, Innholder, Tilehurst, Bondsman 1762 Oct 09 EDWARDS, William, dairyman, Radbourne Cheney, Wilts = STRANGE Jemmima, Blunsdon St Andrew, Wilts; STRANGE, Robert, Blunsdon St Andrew, Wilts, Bondsman. 1763 Oct 08 WAGERSFIELD, Charles, gardener, Shotover = CONSTABLE, Martha, Radley STRANGE, William, glassman, Oxford, Bondsman.
(From Maisie White 
When I joined this list I really didn't expect to find one of my missing
WAGERFIELD marriages (I was hunting a couple of STRANGE ladies.) Problem: I checked for
Martha Constable in Radley and found she had married 8 Aug 1772 a Robert Tyrell.
Batch no. M 137552 which could be wrong. Nowhere could I find a Wagerfield. I tried Oxford
and there is no Shotover where he came from,it is not listed in the maps, but is shown as a
square with 2 trees in, (a forest maybe, or a private House and Garden., he was a gardener.
Betty Judge says: The Witness or Bondsman is one of Stan's ancestors. Just a suggestion,
could his name be Wakefield?
Maisie says: This Charles was, I believe, born in Oxford and it is possible he worked at
Shotover House on the Shotover Estate. I have a marriage from the IGI that needs checking
in 1754 for Charles W to Mary FERRIMAN at Christ Church Oxford , it needs checking as no day
or month are entered.
The story continues: This is the entry from the Christ Church Oxford transcripts:-
Marriage-1754 Jan 18 WAGERFIELD Charles of Shotover & FERRIMAN Mary of Wheatley Shotover came under Forest Hill, I looked for a baptism of Mary but there is not one there,however I found the following: Buriels-at Forest Hill 1755 Sep 18 WAGERFIELD Mary Shotover 1755 Sep 18 WAGERFIELD Charles s of Mary above written 1767 May 07 WAGERFIELD Charles Shotover I also looked at the application for a licence(Wilts MBL) and it would appear he had intended to re-marry! WAGERFIELD Charles,gardener, Shotover CONSTABLE Martha of Radley, Bondsman: William STRANGE glassman,of Oxford. I think the Bondsman would have put up money. As you say the marriage is not in the Radley transcripts and the chap Martha did marry(after
Charles died) was from Sutton Wick in Berks.

Broad Blunsdon (Highworth)
From Georgie Harland who shares a great-great-grandmother, Hannah STRANGE from Broad
Blunsdon, with David Cassells ;
another person connected with Charles STRANGE is Sarah Griggs .
Here is the information we have on our STRANGE family;
David has shown information that says Charles (Ag Lab) was born 1773 in Broad Blunsdon.
There was a reference to Tetbury, GLS for details of Charles STRANGE, his parents and
siblings but the dates are inconsistent.

Georgie believes Hannah's family were still in Broad Blunsdon in the 1930s; she has a photo of a very old couple leaning over a cottage gate but doesn't know their names.
From Valerie Fairbrass:
Mary STRANGE married the Revd John DESCRAMBES of Wroughton on Feb 12 1771 at Blunsdon St
Andrew and Jemima Edwards was a witness. Jemima was bapt at Blunsdon St Andrew on Nov 6th
1737 the daughter of Mr Richard Straing and Ann (nee Dyer). Jemima's brother, Thomas, is
my direct ancestor and I have considerable information about this famiy. They were the
ancestors of the Swindon STRANGEs who accumulated a large part of the the Swindon towns
trade in the early 19th century, set up the first bank there (STRANGE, GARRETT, STRANGE
and COOK) and were prominent in the Independent cause setting up the first non-conformist
chapel there.

1863 ? Nov 15 William STRANGE married Rosanna BROADWAY
From Patrick STRANGE on 15 Jan 2004
My G/G/Grandfather was called William Jefferys STRANGE (1811-1900) and I believe that his
father Thomas STRANGE married Ann Jefferys on the 16 Feb 1809 at Calne in Wiltshire.
I wonder if my G/G/G/Grandmother was connected to your (Valerie Fairbrass's) Jefferys from
Swindon, as I cannot at present really tie her birth, place or date down.
Valerie replied, "At the moment the JEFFEREY connection seems to be based on St Margarets,
Westminster (where my STRANGE line had moved from Swindon around 1800) and Wisbech,
Cambridge. If anything crops up I will let you know.
From Nancy STRANGE
My father Ronald Frederick George STRANGE b.1905, GF Frederick George STRANGE b1881, and
GGF Thomas STRANGE b.1855, were all from Calne, Wiltshire. I believe had the same address
over the years of No4 Cottage Lane, No4 Coft Lane, and No4 Cott Lane. There seems to be a
gap until about 1800 for the Calne area. Thomas(1855) was married toEmma Stratford(1853)
from Cricklade, and have traced her back several generations.

Cricklade (St Sampson & St Mary)
From Paul STRANGE:
Robert Hinton STRANGE is the earliest ancestor located to date.
Born around 1811 in St Sampson, Cricklade, Wiltshire, his father was a slater (ie. he tiled
roofs with slate). He married Sarah Ann Banting (b 1825? Somerford, Wiltshire).
Robert cites his occupation in 1851 census as Slater and Plasterer living at 93 Calcut St,
Cricklade, Wilts, parish of St Sampson. Sarah and he have at least four children born :
1846 Charles
1847 Martha)

Robert William STRANGE and Family
Robert William STRANGE was born in Cricklade, St Sampson, Wiltshire and grew up to be a
carpenter. He married Mary Elizabeth HEDGES (1851-1941) on 11 June 1870 in Swindon.
Together they had at least 11 children born:

Devizes
From Godfrey Bell
1 Thomas Strange (1725-1800).
2 James Strange (1761-1826). (James was the fourth son of Thomas, a third son died aged 8.)
3 James STRANGE b 1761
+ Sarah HEATH
4 Robert STRANGE b 1796 d c 1852 (to be confirmed)
+ Mary CLARK b c1800 (possibly 1781 - source not known) d 1864
5 Robert James STRANGE b 1828 in Streatley, Berkshire, emigrated to and died in
New Zealand in 1875. Baptism in Berkshire says "s Robert & Mary of Devizes,
attorney" - see siblings of Robert in Streatley, BRK
Godfrey also said in Jan 2006:
The following reference came from a book called "Swindon 50 years ago more or less" by William Morris, pub 1885; and was to James' father, it suggests that Thomas was indeed a very religious man - but no hint that he was ordained "James Strange was the third son of the truly pious and highly esteemed Mr Thos Strange....Thos Strange lived under the influence of redeeming grace and his heart and house were open to receive and entertain the ministers of Christ without respect to name or party."
I have an interest in Revs as Henrietta Louisa Strange b1823 Devizes, Wilts, came from a very religious, nonconformist, family. Her father Robert Strange and her uncles were known to preach frequently at the local Baptist (originally Congregational) churches. Henrietta herself married the son of a Rev Richard Elliott who was closely associated with the Strange family and their strong faith. The fact that a Rev Thomas Strange (see Evenley, Northamptonshire) and a Rev F G Strange have come to my attention, intrigues me in case there is a connection to this Strange family.

I have interest in the STRANGE name and have the following which seem to link to that of Chris Page, Swindon, Wilts.
My ancestor is William Heath STRANGE, born 1791 in Swindon, Wiltshire:
1. Thomas STRANGE b 1725, d Oct 1800 Swindon, buried 15 Oct 1800 Swindon
+ Sarah ???? Bef 1753 b 1722, d 1804 Swindon, bur 7 Apr 1804 Swindon
2 James STRANGE was born 1761 Swindon
Valerie says, I have discovered from his will, that the two STRANGE men marrying
Jeffery sisters were indeed brothers. The two William Heath STRANGEs were cousins and
I have found a further William Heath STRANGE marrying in the early 1900s but haven't
connected him with anyone yet.
+ Sarah HEATH 14 Dec 1789 Swindon, Wiltshire lic, b Bef 1769
3 William Heath STRANGE b 1791 Swindon, d 24 Jun 1860 Ealing, Middlesex Probate
See London apprenticeship 1806. He was a cheesemonger and may be somehow connected
with a STRANGE family of cheesemongers, based at 2 Bishopsgate without, (residence at
his marriage to Louisa Jeffery) the earliest mention of which I have found in the will
of cheesemonger James STRANGE, Bishopsgate without, 1790 who died leaving 5 daughters.
He moved on marriage to 14 The Broadway, Westminster where his father in law,
Charles Lea Jeffery, also a cheesemonger, resided.
+ (1) Louisa JEFFERY Bef 1830 b 1804 Lambeth, Surrey, d after 1860
4 Anna STRANGE b 1828 Pimlico, London, d 11 Oct 1900 in Market Drayton, Shropshire.
(Valerie said, "My direct ancestor is Anna STRANGE . William was having children with
Louisa Jeffery into the early 1830s but by 1841 is with his second wife Maria.
+ William George KING 11 May 1854 in Ealing, Middlesex, son of William KING.

2 Mary STRANGE was born 1763 in Swindon and died Aug 1770 in Swindon
2 William STRANGE was born 1765 in Swindon
(See BKM, Newport Pagnell and MDX, Paddington)
From Godfrey Bell:
I have a Robert STRANGE born 18 May 1796 in Swindon, Wiltshire. He married Mary Clark on
22 Apr 1822. He died 1852 - but I know only the year, Does anybody know the exact date and
place of his death and/or burial?
Whaddon
Is this the one near Melksham or the one outside Salisbury?
Subject: More on the family of Mr G May of Swindon in Wiltshire; in 1995 he wrote to Betty
Judge about his wife's family:
Our STRANGE's were at Whaddon certainly from about 1770 to 1850 and then they moved to
Bradwell and later Wolverton to take advantage of the developments around LNWR railway works
in the Wolverton area." He then said that his wife's STRANGE's all have a "B" in their
Christian names after Richard married Mary BENT at Whaddon in the late 1700's. Thus his
father in law was William George Bent STRANGE.
Winterbourne Bassett
From Marida Pawsey in Victoria, Australia to Mrs Symes via Barbara Lawrence and Betty,
dated 1994, she says:
"I became interested in the STRANGE family in Ramsgate and found there were similar names to
my William's family (especially the use of WILLIS as a second forename). Also for some reason
my GGF William Henry STRANGE married my GGM there although both were from London."
From the 1841 & 51 Census returns she found that both families were from Winterbourne in
Wiltshire. It transpired that William of Greenwich and Thomas of Ramsgate were in fact
half-brothers; Sarah WILLIS was the mother of Thomas. From what I can decipher from her
notes we have all the following events from Marida's family tree in Winterbourne Bassett:
1 Richard STRANGE (Victualler)
+ (1)1788 Oct 26 botp Mary SMITH buried 1793 Oct 10, died aged 30
2 John STRANGE b 1789 Mar 22 Winterbourne Bassett

(note that the surname WAITE meant watchman)
2 William Henry (GGF of Marida) b 1793 Mar 17 Winterbourne Bassett
+ Elizabeth of Ramsgate (their son William Willis moved to Ramsgate)his line is in
Australia now.

Sara Scott <ls.scott@sympatico.ca> said, "I have letters written by Thomas' wife, Sarah Ann,
and they refer to a Mandi & Willis, Mandi I believe is Thomas' niece as I also have a letter
written by her signed 'your niece Mandi'." John Tapernoux Strange b.1847 was my great
grandfather's (Thomas Wait Strange) eldest brother.

4. Families
4.1 From Richard Carruthers-Zurowski
Descendants of John STRANGE, of Hannington, Wiltshire
I descend from the Purton families of LARGE and SHEPPARD, though not from the individuals
shown, who are related to me in various degrees. I have collected this information and
compiled it for my one-place study of Purton Wiltshire.

4.2 Descendants of John STRANGE, of Purton, Wiltshire
1 William STRANGE, of Purton, Wilts, Burial: 1 July 1588 St Mary the Virgin, Purton, WIL + Margaret Taylor 25 April 1584 St Mary the Virgin, Purton; buried: 4 July 1588 St Mary
the Virgin, Purton 2 Elizabeth STRANGE, bap 10 February 1587/88 St Mary the Virgin, Purton,
buried 23 December 1620 St Mary the Virgin, Purton, no parentage given in the entry
for her baptism, but likely to be the daughter of the only STRANGE couple married at
Purton in the 16th century,
i.e.William STRANGE and Margrett TAYLOUR [sic] on 25 April 1584 + Robert MOULDEN, The Elder 29 September 1614 St Mary the Virgin, Purton;
bap 12 December 1589 St Mary the Virgin, Purton; no parentage given in baptismal
records kept in Purton parish register before 1615; buriedn 11 June 1664 St Mary
the Virgin, Purton, 3 Robert MOULDEN bap: 6 August 1617 St Mary the Virgin, Purton
The foregoing Robert MOULDEN, The Elder married again after his wife Elizabeth STRANGE died
and probably had another son Thomas by her, unless Thomas was born to his first wife.
Thomas Moulden ca 1620-1630 is one of my Purton ancestors.
4.3 Micheal STRANGE of Somerford Keynes, Wiltshire, died 1613, (Will Prob11/122-26/11/1613)
See "Gloucestershire" page for family details of James Peto-Gundersen
4.4 From Stewart MILLAR in Jan 2005
I have noticed that there is some on-going activity in updating the IGI with “STRANGE”entries that match some of my wife’s ancestry – these are located in and around the parish of Lydiard Tregoze, near Swindon, Wiltshire – registration district of Cricklade.
These IGI updates seem to be predominantly made from New Zealand with some from the USA. These IGI updates, having been made after 1991, do not offer any means of contacting the contributors – if anyone on this list might be those contributors, I would welcome establishing direct contact.
Contact can be made via my family history web site where the STRANGE data can also be checked out.
Godfrey Bell followed up with:
I am from New Zealand (living in London) and have strong connections to a NZ branch of STRANGEs, however, I did not
contribute to the LDS data. However, I do have some Lydiard Tregoze links in my tree and I wonder if any of them are
in common with yours.

4.5 From Gill Piper
My STRANGE connection here is:
Bridget STRANGE married to Richard TUCKEY
28 February 1703/4 by licence both of the parish of Rodbourne
Cheney married at St Andrews Blunsden;
Bridget has a brother Richard STRANGE.
Their father is Thomas STRANGE
of Lydiard Millicent Wiltshire; he died 4 December 1710. His last will is made on 25 November 1710.
He bequeathed
equally to his son and daughter:
1 close of meadow ground situate in Parish of Purton Wilsthire, commonly called Robbins Lane 5 acres
with the land late of Edward Pearce on the north,
land of .....Maskelyne, gent, on the west, land of
.....Woodridge, gent, on the south, a parcel of waste ground called Common Plot on the east.
Both brother and sister are since dead, so Ann Church widow of Richard STRANGE, and son of Bridget Tuckey - Richard Tuckey are administrators - source indenture 1763 between Edward Church (gent) and Ann Church (nee STRANGE) and Richard Tuckey (gent) and the second part Richard Goddard of Marlborough Esq.

4.7 From Jane Masri
in August 2005
My main line of research is with my mother's maiden name,
BRAVERY. The name, STRANGE, enters into the family tree on December 6
1879 with the marriage of Joseph BRAVERY to Bertha STRANGE in Croydon, Surrey
who were my great grandparents. Bertha STRANGE was born about 1851, Little Somerford,
Wilts, daughter of Simon and Lucy STRANGE, nee MILES who married at Little Somerford
March 6 1847. Simon was baptised 6 August 1826, Little Somerford, son of Robert
& Elizabeth STRANGE nee THRUSH who married May 10 1813 at Little Somerford.
Just recently, I was checking the 1871 census, to find out what Bertha was
up to prior to her marriage and was shocked to find her, with what appears to
be an illigetimate son! In 1871 she was at 6 Lower Somerset Terrace, Walcot,
Bath, St.Swithins with
Sarah DUPE - wid - 55 - Nurse Monthly
Bertha STRANGE
- Dau - unm- 21 - Charwomen - born Somerford
Charles STRANGE - g/son - 1
- son of Bertha STRANGE - born Chippenham, Wilts.
Now, I don't believe for
one minute that Sarah DUPE was her mother, I thinkSarah's place was a place
where pregnant unmarried girls were sent to (out of sight out of mind)
Following up on that, I wanted to find what happened to Charles STRANGE. In 1881 he is a boarder at Blagrove Cottages, Wroughton, Wilts, with John & Elizabeth HADDRELL. In 1891 Charles STRANGE, John & Elizabeth are in Gloucester but the name is HATHERALL. I know that Bertha had an older sister, Elizabeth born about 1848 and this Elizabeth fits her profile, so I need to find a marriage between Elizabeth STRANGE to a John HATHERALL. It's evident from later census that John & Elizabeth are childless. By 1901 Charles is married toMartha and at Bradford on Avon with their first child, Bertha, born 1894.If all my findings are correct, I'm so surprised that my great grandmother had a child out of wedlock, as the family were staunch Baptists and very strict. Did the STRANGE family keep this to themselves? Did Joseph know about her son, Charles?
I would be very interested if someone is connected to CHARLES STRANGE 1870 and could perhaps shed some light on this,
4.8 From Julie Hando <julie.hando[at]wales.gsi.gov.uk>
My
family came from Wiltshire originally, my maiden name was STRANGE, my family
are now in the South Wales area. The furthest I have been able to go back is
1773 (or 1775) to Charles STRANGE who lived in the Broad Blunsden/Poulton area
of Wiltshire.
Here is what I have to date from Ed Hanson:
1 Charles STRANGE, b Broad Blunsden, WIL, 1773; agricultural labourer
+ Mary PEPALL
2 William STRANGE, b Rodbourne Cheney, 16 Sept 1804; labourer
+ Alice BALLARD 16 Oct 1828, Broad Blunsden, WIL
3 Charles STRANGE, b 1830; 1881-1891, Ag Lab at New Land Farm, Broad Blunsden
+ Charlotte MILLER 2 June 1852 Poulton, WIL; b 22 Aug 1822, d 10 Sept 1894
From the 1871 census of Highworth, WIL (New Land Farm):
Charlotte STRANGE, m, 46, ag.lab., b Poulton, GLS
Henry STRANGE, son, 18, ag.lab., b Blunsdon, WIL
Hannah STRANGE, dau, 10, scholar, b Blunsdon
Ann STRANGE, dau, 7, scholar, b Blunsdon
4 Henry STRANGE, b Blunsdon, 1854
+ Hannah ---
From the 1891 Census of Wales:
"Blaendare", Panteg, MON
Henry STRANGE, head of household, 39, horsekeeper, b Broad Blunsdon, WIL
Hannah STRANGE, wife, 43, b Llanfrencha, MON
Sarah Ann STRANGE, dau, 15, brick yard, b Panteg
Charlotte STRANGE, dau, 12, b Panteg
Alice STRANGE, dau, 9, scholar, b Panteg
Lizzy STRANGE, dau, 7, scholar, b Panteg
Charles STRANGE, son, 5, scholar, b Panteg*
Henry STRANGE, son, 3, b Panteg
Julie says, "This Charles STRANGE* was my great grandfather. Most of his descendants still
live in the Pontypool area.

7. Oddments
From Godfrey Bell Sep 2005
Mrs Henrietta Clark (nee Ayers) was aunt to
Richard Clark STRANGE b1839 in New Park Street, Devizes (according to the Family
Bible), and baptized at Streatley, Berks. Henrietta is recorded in the Family
Bible as living in Ilsley. I have found a West and East Ilsley near Streatley
in Berks. However, I cannot find a plain "Ilsley".

Evangeline
Lucy Strange, who married Henry Townsend in 1891 at Highworth in
Wiltshire, was my Grandmother. Evangeline was born c1875 in Wantage,
Berkshire, and was possibly an only child. Her parents were
James Thomas Strange (b 1849) and Mary Middleton (b 1839). Evangeline
moved to Australia before the great war and died in Bankstown, NSW
at the end of 1936. I am hoping someone can provide information
about this branch of my family.
Betty Judges said:
I may be related to you, as James Thomas
Strange was the son of William Strange b 1808 West Hanney/Lyford
Berks and his 2nd wife Mary Pullen b 1809 West Hanney. They married
23 Feb 1834 West Hanney and had 10 children.
