My grandmother, Catherina Marie "Lena" Ranger was born in May, 1883, in Mattawa, Ontario. She was the daughter of Xavier Ranger and Marie Nadon. She married George Ernest Clinton McDonald, born Feb 15, 1894, on May 24, 1915. That's all I have so far for Catherina.

Hi Theresa! My grandmother had an older brother named Clifford Ranger. She was born in Capreol Ontario in 1924. Clifford's mother was Ila Ross and his grandmother was Agnes Richway. It is my understanding that Agnes Richway was native. If you think this is your grandfather I will dig up some more information for you.

Joseph Aldege Ranger

lkg1944 — 2009-05-14 01:04:04Z

My grandfather was Joseph Aldege Ranger. He was born in 1885 in Quebec, Canada. His father was Alexandre Ranger and his mother was Vitalini Lavigne which were both born in Quebec, Canada. Joseph had sisters, Lavina, Blandina, and brothers Alexander, Adalard, Zotique, Clovida, Antonia, and Phelias. Most of them came to the United States. Joseph married Martha E. Manley around 1915 and divorced her in 1924. He married a Ruth Ferrel in 1926. I believed they had a daughter, but I am not sure. He died in 1938 from a self inflicted gunshot to the head. If anyone has any information on him or his family, I would greatly appreciate you sharing it with me.

Re: Thomas Ranger Framfield 1672

RangerONS — 2009-03-07 14:00:06Z

Thomas Ranger was christened 14 Feb 1675 in Chelsea, Middlesex, the son of Robert Ranger. He was one of 5 known children of Robert Ranger. I have not yet established ancestry for Robert, but I do some information on the descendents of Thomas.

Re: Robert Alexander Ranger

RangerONS — 2009-01-08 14:19:49Z

Although I do not have any information to offer concerning your Robert Ranger, I can tell you that every Ranger I have found in Oz before 1870 originated in the south of England. The majority came from Sussex, Surrey and Kent. The Ranger name is very rare in South Africa before the Boer Wars, and most of them originated in England as well. In order to determine if a Ranger ancestor from South Africa was English or Dutch, you would need to know the area of South Africa in which they lived. During the Victorian era, British enclaves were rather distinct from the Afrikaaners. Good luck with your search.

Re: Early Rangers from where? France/Holland etc.

RangerONS — 2008-09-21 19:28:31Z

There have been significant family groups for Ranger (and other spelling variants) in the Netherlands, Belgium, France, Germany and Switzerland, as well as the UK. I have been studying the Ranger surname for many years now, and so far there has been no conclusive proof that the French Ranger's, Germanic Ranger's and the English Ranger's have any common thread. There are certainly instances such as the one you mentioned concerning nurserymen in Kent early on as well as in the Netherlands. There are also instances of Ranger's of British descent and Ranger's of French descent being loacted in the same counties in the United States post 1800. Again, there has been no definitive evidence that there were any connections between the families.

If you or anyone else has such evidence, I'd be very interested to hear from you.

Maine Ranger Families

Does anyone have family ties to the Ranger families in Maine?
They were originally from New Hampshire and in c1810 moved to the now Franklin County area of Maine......Weld, Wilton etc. I think a couple of brothers made the move, perhaps even their parents too.
I'd be very interested in chatting with you!

Re: Charles Ranger

webernancy09 — 2009-04-12 04:50:27Z

My great-great-grandfather was Charles S. Ranger married to Elizabeth May. He was born in MA 14 Nov, 1840 and died in Clearfield County, PA 09 Dec, 1909. I don't know if this is the same person you were talking asking about, but it appears similar. I have the children listed as:Ida Mae(1872), Minnie (1875), and James (1878).

I have a link to Rangers in Hindon and maybe to William and Christan but i have not confirmed it yet. My link is through a Francis Ranger of Hindon who married Mary Gaisford in 1780. I believe the parents of Francis were edward and sarah. Do these names mean anything to you in the research you has done so far? If so would be interested to hear from you.

Robert Alexander Ranger

gruff5054 — 2009-01-07 08:34:02Z

I'm trying to trace the ancestry of Robert Alexander Ranger who was born 1863/4, don't know where, married Catherine Daly on 24 November 1889 and died on 13 January 1897 at Wallaroo Mines, South Australia. His father was Robert Ranger. Family stories say he may be from South Africa or Holland?? Also he may have jumped ship in Australia.

I'd be grateful for any leads.

Early Rangers from where? France/Holland etc.

RuthRanger — 2008-09-20 09:23:33Z

We've always thought that the Ranger surname was French but it has been suggested to me by someone who has lots of Ranger knowledge, that our branch of it could even have come from Holland (Renger etc).

As I'm not very good at doing continenetal european genealogy (I'm ok with british records as I'm here already and have done a reasonable amount on the Surrey Rangers and am constantly tripping over the west country ones where I live), I wonder if there is anyone out there who has done any substantial research into the french Rangers and /or the dutch Rengers that they wouldn't mind sharing with me so that I can see if it relates to the suggestion that was kindly given to me.

This expert also suggested that our Surrey family might go back to the mid to late 1500s in Dover but did they come over as Walloons or as part of the hanseatic league trade? A number of them who settled in Kent and that area of southeast England seemed to have been nurserymen and even for quite a large number of generations - some Rangers in Effingham were nurserymen even in the 1800s - so is that evidence for Holland?

All very vague I know, but maybe there is someone out there who has some experience of searching dutch & french records. Thank you.

Re: William Ranger b. 1790, Surrey ENG

RuthRanger — 2008-09-20 09:00:25Z

Having read this other message of yours now, I think that you are of the same family. There seems to be a possibility that your James Ranger was the brother of the Thomas Ranger who married Sarah West that I mentioned.

However, there is a previous generation with the Dyer connection and the Wests as the father of Sarah West (James, just to confuse things) seems to have married Mary Dyer first. His second wife was a lady by the name of Jane and she was the mother of Sarah West who married Thomas Ranger.

But ... Thomas' possible brother James Ranger married Charlotte Dyer as you have mentioned. Charlotte had a sister by the curious name of Fruiswith (or something like that - maybe even Fruisanna?) and she married a Robert Tyrrell. Their daughter Susannah married Thomas Ranger who was the son of the Thomas Ranger who might have been a brohter to James. Are you still with me?!!!

Therefore Susannah married the son of her aunt Charlotte's brother-in-law. I think that's how it works out! On my tree chart it was really difficult to draw - a bit like a circle with bits duplicated and asterisks in places! Tricky.

By the way, the parents of our Thomas Ranger (who married Sarah West) were Daniel Ranger & Elizabeth Woodgar and before that, James Ranger (all of the Surrey/Kent area)

Re: England Rangers

RuthRanger — 2008-09-20 08:49:24Z

Please can you give me more information about your Effingham line.

My husband's family were from Thomas Ranger who married Sarah West, then Thomas Ranger who married Susannah Tyrell, then Edward who married Mary Ann Nicholls, then Peter Edward who married Constance Davies and then they seemed to move out of Effingham.

Leonard Ranger married Ivy Lewis and they settled in Fetchm and had the 'Ranger Borthers' green grocers on Fetcham village Street till into the 1960s.

Does any of this ring any beels with you? maybe you are descended from one of the siblings of any of these people.
Many thanks.
