John Stanger, of Barrowden, Rutland
Marriage of John Stanger and Elizabeth Oliver, 25 Feb 1712, Thorpe Malsor.
From
here.
John Stanger,
bapt 28 Nov 1686 in
Barrowden, Rutland.
See
Wikitree.
See
entry
in
tree by Howard Smith.
Listed as of Barrowden at mar.
He mar 25 Feb 1712 [new style year]
to
Elizabeth Oliver.
They mar at
Thorpe Malsor,
W of Kettering, Northamptonshire.
Wikitree
thinks she is the
Elizabeth Oliver, dau of John Oliver and Jane Oliver,
who was bapt 27 Mar 1690 in
Arthingworth, Northamptonshire.
Unclear what the proof is.
There are
other Elizabeth Olivers
born in Northamptonshire around that time.
The
Bishops Transcript
of the marriage entry
is confusing and has been mis-read as 25 Aug 1711.
John was buried 22 Jan 1746 [new style year] in Barrowden, age 59 yrs.
This has been mis-read as 22 June 1745, but placement in the records shows it is January of the new year.
Elizabeth was buried 26 June 1748 in Barrowden.
This has been mis-read as 1749. The burials book shows it is 1748.
They had issue:
-
Humphrey Stanger,
bapt 22 Nov 1719 in Barrowden.
- Oliver Stanger,
bapt 25 Jan 1725 in Barrowden.
This shows the family used "Oliver" as a first name.
Would be after his mother Elizabeth Oliver.
Our
Humphrey Stanger
married in 1746 to Susanna Clark and lived in Lyddington, Rutland.
- Howard Smith says
the above Humphrey Stanger is our one, so we put in the link.
-
However, Wikitree says the above is a different Humphrey Stanger,
and
our Humphrey Stanger
is his 1st cousin
Humphrey Stanger, son of Humphrey Stanger, who was bapt 1718.
We think Wikitree is wrong, because of the name "Oliver":
-
Our Humphrey Stanger
called his son "Oliver".
-
That is the only "Oliver" in
that entire generation
of Stangers (including all cousins).
-
The above brother Oliver is the only "Oliver" in
his entire generation
of Stangers (including all cousins).
- So we think our Humphrey Stanger must be the above one, son of
John Stanger and Elizabeth Oliver.
-
But we might continue to search for further proof.
