The Strickland Family

Descendants of Robert Strickland

Generation No. 1.

ROBERT1 STRICKLAND was born Abt. 1800 in Ireland, and died Aft. 1850 in Ireland.

Notes for ROBERT STRICKLAND: The name Strickland originates from Westmorland (Cumbria). Thomas Strickland Esq was Lord of the manor of Great Strickland (just south of Penrith)and took Bowman to the Battle of Agincourt. The Family coat of Arms is three white seashells (escalopes) on a black shield. The family sold the estate and moved to Sizeragh just south of Kendal, where they built a fortified house (Pele Tower). Sir Walter Strickland lived here and was involved inkeeping marauding Scots at bay (a book called 'A Knight's Tale details this). He was also involved in the War of the Roses. The family was always picking the wrong side (well, after Agincourt anyway). After the Reformation they secretly stayed Catholic and may have employed a certain Bill Shakespeare as a tutor. The name itself has two identities, Books of Cumbrian Names say that Strickland is old english for Pastureland, this was come to as the main street in Kendal is called Stricklandgate (There is also a Stricklandgate in Penrith. The reference to gate is not as you would expect a gate tower but means road). The conflicting information is that the Strickland family came over from Normandy with William the Conquerer. And there is a suggestion that that you can find the Strickland name in the Falaise Rolls (this document is older than both Bayeux Tapestry and Doomsday book). There are several branches of the family one married into the Constable family of Yorkshire, another branch moved to Hertfordshire. Today the name has gone all round the World. Shirley Strickland was a former Australian Olympic athlete. Common first names are Walter, Thomas, Ann and Agnes. Sizeragh Castle is currently looked after by the National Trust but stillowned by the original family (now called Hornyold-Strickland). Kendal Parish Church (Holy Trinity) has the Strickland family chapel which is next to that of the Parr Family (Queen Katherine Parr's family). The original Norman settlement in Kendal was a Motte and Bailey and was called Kirkby Strickland (today know as Castle Howe).
