I am a Strong, and my family tree research has taken me back to around 1800. I am the son of John Hedley Strong (1888-1963), grandson of John Nicholas Strong (1860-1952) and great grandson of Robert Hedley Strong (1840-1923). The last-named was son of Nicholas Strong and Jane Hedley. She is believed to be of the Hedley family of Morpeth. I have a mourning ring dated 1801 of the infant Robert Hedley who died that year aged 10 months. Bishop Hedley (Roman Catholic) who died 1915 was of this family and was known by my late cousin Gwen Bruce (incidentally one of the first 4 women called to the Bar!)
