	STRICKLAND
		The Strickland of Sizergh Family, the name of the Strickland family home, is of Scandinavian origin, and originates from the Scandinavian occupation of England in the 9th and 10th Centuries.

	Agnes Strickland - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Agnes Strickland (1796/1806 - 1874) was an English historical writer.
		The daughter of Thomas Strickland of Reydon Hall, Suffolk, Agnes was educated by her father, and began her literary career with a poem, Worcester Field, followed by The Seven Ages of Woman and Demetrius.
		Strickland's researches were laborious and conscientious, and she remains a useful source, but she failed to exercise the level of objectivity that a modern historian would aspire to.

	PACSCL -- The U. S. Naval Asylum
		William Strickland was appointed "to make the necessary contracts for materials and superintend the building of a permanent asylum for disabled seamen, andc, at Philadelphia." Thomas Harris was also appointed superintendent, probably to carry out sanitary arrangements.
		When Strickland resigned as superintendent, the roof had been completed and the structure was weathertight, allowing the safe storage of materials until construction could be resumed, and the care of the Naval Asylum was transferred to Commodore William Bainbridge, commandant of the Navy Yard.
		In response to friction arising from this multiple use, William Strickland was retained in 1842 to create a lath and plaster partition across the middle of the building, with the northern wing housing the asylum and academy and the southern wing the hospital.

	Life in England - Susanna Moodie and Catharine Parr Traill (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		The two eldest sisters, Eliza and Agnes, soon moved to London to seek a living as writers and editors in the growing world of magazine and annual publishing.
		The Harral family were close friends of the young Stricklands: Susanna and Laura Harral were bosom companions until Laura's early death, and Catharine was for a time engaged to Laura's brother Francis (see Susanna's letter to James Bird, April 9, 1831).
		It was at the Pringles' that Susanna met John Wedderburn Dunbar Moodie, a retired (Half-pay) officer of the 21st Northern Fusileers, who had arrived in London in 1830 seeking both a publisher for his manuscript and a wife to share his distant and lonely farm in South Africa.

	Dictionary of Canadian Biography Online
		Although the Strickland name was best known for historical biography, the amazing literary output of the family, spanning eight decades from 1818 to 1895, included works of fiction, poetry, natural history, and autobiography.
		Susanna, for example, later wrote fondly of the region in Roughing it in the bush as the source of her literary aspirations: “It was while reposing beneath those noble trees that I had first indulged in those delicious dreams which are a foretaste of the enjoyments of the spirit-land.
		Thomas Strickland’s death in 1818, followed a few months later by the publication of Catharine’s book, brought about both the need for and the possibility of literary careers.

		Sizergh, the name of the Strickland family home, is of Scandinavian origin, and originates from the Scandinavian occupation of England in the 9th and 10th Centuries.
		Walter Strickland, born 5 Apr. 1516, died 8 March 1569, was the eldest son and heir of Sir Walter Strickland and Katherine Neville.
		It is entirely possible that Agnes is the same as Ann, a younger daughter of Sir Stephen Hamerton, and she may also be the mother of Ellen, since Ellen and John named their first child Ann.

		Strickland and her sisters were some of the first people, and certainly the first women, to make use of those archives.
		How she achieved such entry is the story Delorme and Pope-Hennessy (in more detail, by an individual report) tell, as they assess Strickland's contribution to the history of medieval women.

	Actions and Reactions - Rudyard Kipling - Free Online Library
		Strickland has finished his Indian Service, and lives now at a place in England called Weston-super-Mare, where his wife plays the organ in one of the churches.
		He is devoted, in a fat man's placid way, to at least eight designing women; but she nursed him once through a bad bout of Peshawur fever, and when she is in the house, it is more than all hers.
		Agnes leaned forward, her rounded elbows on his shoulders, hands joined across his dark hair, and "Isn't he a darling?" she said to us, with just the same heart-rending lift to the left eyebrow and the same break of her voice as sent Strickland mad among the horses in the year '84.

	Turning Over a New Leaf: The Literary Ecologies of Susan Fenimore Cooper and Catharine Parr Traill
		Like Cooper, the hero of my story was from an established and celebrated literary family: her eldest sister, Agnes Strickland, had produced a series of popular royalist biographies, and her younger sibling, Susanna Moodie, was a respected colonial author and editor.
		But Catharine's frustrations were short-lived, for it was in early 1865, too, that her favorite niece, Agnes Fitzgibbon, suffered the loss of her husband, the prominent barrister Charles Thomas.
		His sudden death shook the close-knit family, but Agnes, a talented amateur still-life painter who, like her mother Susanna, had a particular fondness for sketching flowers, channeled her grief into a flurry of artistic and fiscal collaborations with her aunt.
