Nicolson and Burn, History Westm. And Cumb.
Walter de Stirkeland, 35 Edward I: ibid.
William de Stirkelaunde, Westmorland, 20 Edward I: Placita de Quo Warranto, temp. Edward I-III.
1588. Roger Strickland, of Cartmellfell: Lancashire Wills at Richmond.
1618. John Strickland, Westmorland: Register of the University of Oxford.
1662. James Strickland, of Satterthwaite: Lancashire Wills at Richmond.
STRIKLAND: From Strickland (originally Stirkland) in Westmorland. Robert de Strikland witnessed confirmation by Alexander filius Walteri of his father's gifts to the church of Paisley, 1239 (RMP., p. 225). Robert de Stirkeland had protection for two years for going on the king of England's service beyond seas, 1370 (Bain, IV, 170). Henry Strickland in Kilbarchan, 1771 (Kilbarchan).
(English) belonging to Strickland (Westmd.), 13th cent. Stirkland, Stirkeland-the Stirk-Land [v. under Stirk, and+ Old English land] See the Westmd. quot. under Stott.
(English) One who came from Strickland (pasture for cattle), the name of several places in England.
"Descended from Walter de Stirkland, Knight, so called from the pasture ground of the young cattle called stirks or steers, in the parish of Morland, in the county of Westmoreland, who was living in the reign of Henry III." Shirley's Noble and Gentle Men.
This name came from Strick—land or Stirk—land, that is, "the pasture ground of young cattle,"called stirks or steers, in the parish of Moreland, Westmoreland Co., England, where the family once had considerable possessions.
Or De Vaux. Hubert de Vaux, Baron of Gillesland t. William I., granted Castle Carrock, with Hayton, Cumberland, to Eustace de Vaux (his son), as appears from Nicholson and Burns (Westmoreland, 511). Eustace gave parts of Castle Carrock and Hayton to Lanercost Priory. In the time of Henry II. these manors were owned by Robert de Castle Carrock, and from him passed to Robert his son, and Richard his grandson, who d. t. Edward I. Robert de C. C., t. Henry II., had a brother, Sir Walter de Stirkland, as appears by the grant of the latter of lands at Strike- land to St. Mary’s, York, witnessed by Robert de C. C., ‘ brother of the said Walter’ (Ib. 89). This seems conclusive. The family of Strickland descended from Sir Walter. Hence the baronets Strickland, and the eminent historian, Agnes Strickland.
(English), Stirkland, or pasture for steers.
A location name in Cumberland.
