Research Notes

This family's names is spelt in modern times as either Strangeways or Strangways. It appears from the Visitation records that, generally speaking, the Yorkshire branch used Strangeways and, later on at least, the Dorset branch used Strangways. However, cross-references from other sources are not fully consistent with this.

Information from Chamberlain Association of America, Annual Report for 1906-07, p.72-73. She was a daughter of John Strangeways of Melbury, County Dorset.^[2]
