One Name Studies: N to S / Strangleman One Name Study
« on: Saturday 16 July 11 16:02 BST (UK)  »
I am doing a one name study on the surname of STRANGLEMAN. I am registered with the Guild of One Name Studies.
Here is the profile page,
http://www.one-name.org/profiles/Strangleman.html

There is also a Strangleman Mailing list on Rootsweb see the link here,
http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/index/STRANGLEMAN/

Would love to hear from anyone who has this surname in their tree and who would be willing to share any information that they have.
Thanks Judi

Hello Simon,
I have found your Clifford.
Look at  the 1901 Census England Lancashire, Swinton district 21 RG13/3656 - page 27 shows his father Peter and page 28 shows Clifford.
The surname has been mistranscribed as RENYNESTON.
Hope this helps you,
Judi.

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.
