Life History

about 1460	Born in Elsing Hall, Norfolk, England.2,3
about 1477	Born in Pakenham, Suffolk, England.1
1493	Birth of son Thomas LE STRANGE in Hunstanton, Norfolk, England.1,2
1493	Married Anne L'ESTRANGE in Hunstanton, Norfolk, England.5 Some of these dates appears uncertain. Different genealogies report dates or places irregularly and incompletely. There are great variations between sources, and some appear to be uncritical, for there are internal conflicts between the dates reported in some. The Le Strange Family Website lineage is helpful, and I have followedthat as a more definitive general guide. I have generally followed that for the location of birth, where that is given. However, that information is quite spotty and has dates and places for only a few persons. Dates there are sometimes estimated, and some information clasheswith known historical information from reliable genealogies. The lineage was posted only as a secondary interest, and the site, while giving history, does not focus primarily on the family details. It is primarily a personal hobby site about the family by one of the current family members of another last name. The dates reported by sources give the same year for the marriage of Robert and Anne as for the birth of the first son Thomas.
1493	Married in Anne L'Estrange.2
1495	Birth of daughter Katherine LE STRANGE.5
about 1496	Birth of son Roger LE STRANGE.5
1497	Birth of daughter Elizabeth LE STRANGE.1
1497	Death of Anne L'ESTRANGE.5
1499	Birth of daughter Ann LE STRANGE.1
18th Mar 1511	Died in Norfolk, England.2,3,1

Notes

He is styled Robert Le Strange of Elsing, though he was reported by Tudorplace as born in Pakenham. The Le Strange website does report himas born in Elsing Hall, but it also reports the other brothers born there, while it appears they were all born in different estates.

There is some confusion between sources over the spouses of these brothers. Tudorplace reports Robert married to Margaret Le Strange (of Westbury, Northamptonshire), while the Le Strange Website reports him married to Anne L'Estrange.

The latter appears to be the same Anne Le Strange that the Tudorplacesite reports as the wife of brother Roger! I will continue trying toresolve this. This era abounds with confusions like this. This is, however, one of the best-reported and documented on all sides, making it harder to resolve.
