There are, of course, a great number of royal lines for Elizabeth
Pelham....see Leo's site for a beginning.

The Stringer line can be carried back about four generations further
via the Visitations of Nottingham****re (HSP v. 4, available on Google
Books) and in a more complete pedigree in "Hunter's Pedigrees" (HSP v.
88, snippet view only on Google).

Anne Stringer and Thomas Hutton are ancestors of Princess Diana.

Take a look at various volumes of Maddison's Lincoln****re Pedigrees
(HSP vols. 50-52 and 55). However, the royal connection which can be
constructed there (via Thimbleby, Welby, and Irby to South) is likely
invalid, because the chronology suggests that Anne Welby, wife of
Anthony Irby, was apparently daughter of Charles Welby by an unknown
wife other than Elizabeth Thimbleby.
