Family and Education
yr. s. of Sir Walter Strickland† of Sizergh, Westmld.; yr. bro. of Sir Thomas* and uncle of Walter II*. H. Hornyold, Strickland of Sizergh, 43-45.

Oct. 1427, CP40/667, rot. 106. at Beddington, Surr., Isabel (1411-26 Apr. 1445), C1/31/39; C139/117/7. Why Beddington, the home of the Carews, was chosen for their nuptials is not known. posthumous da. and h. of John Olney of London by his w. Joan; wid. of Philip Boteler of London, CPL, x. 348-9. The date of the marriage contract, as given in Hornyold, 43 (i.e. 1 Feb. 1382) is clearly a mistake. It may have been 1 Feb. 1427 – that is, 5 Hen. VI, rather than 5 Ric. II.
