York Families

Strangeway and Strangeways Families in the York Area

Having suggested that most of the Strangeway families in Leeds originated in York it is tempting to assume that there would be nothing new by looking at all the York families. However on checking the records it was again clear that there was at least one family line that did not tie up with any of the families covered under Leeds.

Simply checking the 1851 York Census highlights the problem as new names and locations appear. more..

A major tree that covers a family line not connected with Leeds is given below. These families are - as you may guess from their addresses - well connected members of the “landed gentry” - in an age where land ownership was the key to wealth. This tree includes the Swainston-Strangways family of Alne Hall - and traces back through the medieval families to the earliest generations.
