The Stanger Families;

and related Families

"Our" Stanger Families originated in the Area around Harringworth in Northamptonshire and Barrowden [just across the Border] in Rutland.

        
        They commence with the Family of Thomas Stanger, the Family of one of my Paternal Great-Great-Grandmothers. Thomas was born in 1638 in Harringworth, Northamptonshire.

         Ken Stanger, in Yandina, in Queensland, in the Land of OZ helped greatly with the early compilation of this Stanger Family; and may have more Information. Ken, however, is not part of the Thomas Stanger Family.
        Ken's Stangers, the Family of Humphrey Stanger, born about 1658, originated in Barrowden, in Rutland, only a few Miles from where the Thomas Stanger Family had their Origins in Harringworth, in Northamptonshire. We are still seeking a link between the two Families.

       As of October/November 2006, we have received Information on the Stubbs Family, circa 1730, who probably originated in the same Area of Northamptonshire as Humphrey Stanger's Family.

       About the same time, November 2006, Chloris Mary [nTombi] Peck has established the Link between her South African Stanger Family and Thomas Stanger's Family. She has also provided Information on the Tainton Family and the Weir Family, both Families being prominent in the early History of the Eastern Cape in the Colony of South Africa.

         In January 2007 Elizabeth Clemency [Lisa] Nap, who lives in Utrecht in the Netherlands sent Information on the Stanger Family in Kent commencing with John Stanger and Susannah Turner. Lisa also maintains a Family History WebSite. To view Lisa's WebSite, click here.

         Now, in April 2008, Mark Ward has sent a large File including the Family of Thomas Stanger and related Families. From this File we have added almost 3000 new People to our Database, including a substantial number of Individuals within the Thomas Stanger Family. Most of the new People lived in the Area of Kent, Sussex, Essex or Lincolnshire.
