In my continuing series on the ancestry of Sarah Ferguson, we come to
position 504 (and also position 510) William FitzWilliam (1719-1756),
3rd Earl FitzWilliam
On Leo's most excellent website we see this man here
http://www.genealogics.org/getperson.php?personID=I00081994&tree=LEO
and note that in his ascent he has a grandfather "John Stringer of
Sutton upon Lound" with no further particulars.
John Stringer, esq of Sutton-***-Lound, Notts was born sometime
between 1666 and 1684. He married Elizabeth Pelham, bap 1 Sep 1680 on
6 Jul 1699 at St Pancras, London and they had their only surviving
child Anne sometime between 1700 and 1704 who married John
FitzWilliam, 2nd Earl FitzWilliam on 17 Sep 1718
John Stringer was the son of Francis Stringer, esq of Sutton-***-Lound
by his wife Elizabeth Newton. There is a Patron Sheet submission in
the IGI stating that their marriage took place on 30 Nov 1665 at
Haydor, co Lincs. which at seems seems like a likely time and county
as her parents were of that county.
Francis bap Apr 1633 at Sutton *** Lound was the son of Nicholas
Stringer of that place, by his wife Alice South whom he had married 5
Mar 1630/1 at Kelstern where she had been baptised 3 Mar 1608.
Other than Francis they had at least one other child Anne who married
Sir Thomas Hutton of Nether Poppleton and had issue.
Meanwhile Elizabeth Newton was the daughter of John Newton, 2nd Bart
of Barrs Court, co Gloucs and of Gunwardby, co Linc . John had been
born 9 Jun 1626 and died 31 May 1699 and is buried at Bitton, Gloucs.
Elizabeth's mother was Mary Eyre daughter of Sir Gervase Eyre by his
wife Elizabeth Babington.
By this route Elizabeth Newton is a 16th generation descendent of the
English throne.
There is some more known ascent to the South family from this point
that I had casually glanced at prior to finding the evidences of this
ascent, but didn't copy out. It's in one of the Vis, I'll have to
look again for it.
This new line adds some interesting new ancestry for Sarah Ferguson.
