One Name Studies: N to S / Strangleman Surname Study
« on: Saturday 19 December 20 13:31 GMT (UK)  »
I have been doing my one name study of the STRANGLEMAN surname since 2011 mainly on paper but am now more organised. I am registered with the Surname Society https://surname-society.org/, have a  Facebook group - Strangleman surname study and am also on Twitter as The Strangleman Surname.
It is a worldwide study of what I think is an intriguing surname which is the surname of my 2nd Great Grandmother. It is very prevalent in Norfolk with some families migrating to other parts of the UK. As well as logging individuals BMD details I am also building families to see where they originated. There is no classification for the Surname. I would love to hear from anyone who has this surname in their family tree.

A search is on for descendants of a World War I veteran who has been given a gravestone 91 years after he died.


Herbert Taylor is believed to have been the first WWI soldier buried with full military honours in Prestatyn, Denbighshire, in 1917.

However, a headstone was never paid for and a local historian believes this was because his family moved away.

Prestatyn Town Council, which paid for the stone, wants any relatives to attend a church service on Saturday.
