Strangeway Families in the Preston Area

The history of how there came to be so many Strangeway families in the Preston area of Lancashire took a little while to work out. But can be explained, I think, by tracking back though the generations in Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire until you reach the same family line that provides the origins of the Leeds families more..

The suggested family tree that provides the origins for the Preston familes. It starts from John Strangeway born about Jun 1760 at Langton near Malton, Yorkshire.
