Notes
- It is in this era where we begin seeing variations in this family name, shifting gradually from the French Norman naming pattern to the modern English "surname" pattern of usage. Some branches of the family still call themselves Le Strange, but the simple Strange is more common.
This source gives the place of John's death as Bedford. This could be a typographical slip, substituting the common name Bedford for the Bideford that keeps recurring in the family line. But Bedford is another town in the county of Devon, so could have been intended.
A couple of sources also have Bedfordshire. This may also be an error confusing the county name with Bedford town in Devon.
