Anne L'ESTRANGE2,1

about 14701 - 14971

Life History

about 1470	Born in Hunstanton, Norfolk, England.1
1493	Birth of son Thomas LE STRANGE in Hunstanton, Norfolk, England.3,2
1493	Married Robert LE STRANGE in Hunstanton, Norfolk, England.1 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.
1495	Birth of daughter Katherine LE STRANGE.1
about 1496	Birth of son Roger LE STRANGE.1
1497	Birth of daughter Elizabeth LE STRANGE.3
1497	Died.1
1499	Birth of daughter Ann LE STRANGE.3

Notes

The maiden name of Anne (Ann) is uncertain. It appears from the formof the name in some sources that her name was already Le Strange. Itis spelled L'Estrange AND L Estrange (without the apostrophe) in somesources. This is a variation used by some branches of the family in Devon. The name is already registered under various spellings in the Domes Day Book, 1085, the first general register in English history, implemented by the Norman King William I of England.

The Hunstanton family spell the name Anne, but in their minimal information, they use their family spelling, le Strange, of the last name.Other sources spell her name Ann, and may spell her name L Estrange.The common spelling of the latter form uses an apostrophe, so I have done that. I have used a combined form to show the family spelling ofher first name.

Some sources report birth place as Hunstanton, Norfolk, England. According to the family website and the Devon County website, there is also a Hunstanton town and estate in Devon County.

There is a discrepancy about the husband of Anne L'Estrange (Le Strange). Tudorplace reports that this is the wife of John, and that Robert married a Margaret Le Strange. The Le Strange website reports thatAnn L'Estrange married Robert. However, the death date given by Le Strange Website for Anne is 1497, before any of the children of John are reported born, by Tudorplace or other sites that give birth dates.(Le Strange Website is a more casual site, has less critical attention to consistency and completeness and has few birth dates.) At leastone child of Robert was born in 1499. This puzzle remains to be resolved.
