General Notes: In an eMail, dated September 17, 2006, Maureen Hurst sent the following:

The following was in The Times newspaper of Friday July 13th 1894 page 1 column A.

STANGER- on the 10th inst. at Thornton-Heath Mary widow of G E Stanger Surgeon late of Nottingham age 74 years. Australian papers please copy.

I wonder which members of the family were in Oz in 1894 ? of course it may have been friends.

Noted events in her life were:

• Residence at Death: Woodville Road, 10 Jul 1894, Thornton Heath Surrey England.

Mary married Dr. George Eaton STANGER MRCSE LSA [3832] [MRIN: 2417], son of William STANGER [3830] and Rebecca YORKE [3831], 2 Qtr 1844 in Nottingham Nottinghamshire England. George was born in 1816 in Fleet Lincolnshire England, was baptised on 15 Apr 1816 in Fleet Baptist Chapel Fleet Hargate Lincolnshire England, and died on 6 May 1892 in Wakefield Yorkshire England at age 76.

General Notes: George was, for many years, Head Surgeon at the Nottingham Dispensary. He apparently had a fine House with three Servants.
H.U.SMITH, from "Betty" SPENDER's letter of July 7, 1988. ...
When he died, George lived at 82 Brooke Green Hammersmith; and left 4853 pounds, 6 shillings & 8 pence in his will.

George Eaton Stanger was born in Fleet Lincolnshire and baptised at the Fleet Baptist Chapel NC on the 15th of April 1916. He had five sisters and four brothers His parents were William and Rebecca Stanger.
He studied medicine at Edinburgh, and became a "Member of the Royal College of Surgeons" and held the "Licence of the Society of Apothecaries" in 1840 and by 1844 he is living in Carlton Street Nottingham and he was mentioned in the Nottingham Date book Aug.8th 1844 and is on the list of members of the Medico-Chirurgical Society in 1846
It was probably around 1844 that he married Mary Hurst the eldest daughter of Nathan and Sarah Hurst a very prominent family in Nottingham. His Father-in Law was a Hosier and Baptist preacher. Her brothers Nathan and John were also hosiers and Aldermen, John was on the Board of Guardians and on the Racecourse Committee. In 1845/6 Nathan was one of the Sheriffs of Nottingham. Mary was one of nine children who nearly all married influential people in public life.
In the 1851 census the Stanger family was living in St. James Street or Place there were three sons, William aged 5, George Hurst aged 3, Henry York aged 1. There was also a dispenser and three female servants.
By 1861 they were living in North Circus Street and there were six children, only William was still at home, the other five children were Margaret Ann aged 9, Mary Elizabeth aged 8, Charles Edward aged 5, Walter aged 4 and Harriet aged 2.
North Circus Street was still the family home in 1871,however on census night Mary was away and the only children there were Harriet who was now 12 years old and Henry Yorke who was 21 and an undergraduate of Oxford University. He must have been home on holiday. There was also a nephew living with them, John Heard Manlove the son of Mary's sister Elizabeth who was married to the lace manufacturer Thomas Manlove.

George Eaton was elected president of the Medico-Chirurgical Society twice. 1870-1 and 1876-8 and in 1881 he was vice president and treasurer. He had been treasurer before 1880 and continued until January 25th 1888 when he resigned on his retirement. He had been Consulting Surgeon to the Nottingham Dispensary and formerly Surgeon to the Nottingham Union Hospital.
At this time the surgery of Stanger and Son was 67 Gregory Boulevard. The son was Charles Edward living at 139 Willoughby St. New Lenton.
George and Mary then seem to have moved to London as the address in George's will was 82 Brook Green Hammersmith London on the 7th November 1889.One of the witnesses was Hannah Simons another of Mary's sisters..
He died in 1892 in Wakefield in Yorkshire. He had possibly been visiting his son William, who was a MRCS, FRCS, and LSA. He had studied at Guys Hospital and then after being House Surgeon at the Nottingham Dispensary he moved on to become Surgeon to the Hospital and Dispensary at Clayton Yorkshire. So two of George Eaton's sons followed in his footsteps. He wasn't to know that one of his Grandsons, Harry, would also follow in his footsteps.
All his estate was left to his wife Mary for her lifetime and after her death the income from trust funds to Margaret Ann and Harriett as long as they were not married.

In March, 2011, Ken Stanger [no relation], provided the following Information:
Dr George Eaton Stanger (1816-1892). "surgeon" (ship's doctor)
Dr George Stanger kept a journal during his time at sea on an Australian whaler. He arrived in Australia on the ss. Sarah and Elizabeth .
The Sarah and Elizabeth was one of five large vessels purchased by the South Australian Company in 1836 and 1837 to engage in whaling from their base at Kingscote on Kangaroo Island. (Kostoglou & McCarthy, Whaling and Sealing Sites in South Australia (1991) p. 65). The vessel had previously been a whaler in the South Seas and also in the northern or Arctic whale fishery and was purchased at a northern port in Britain by an agent for the South Australian Company in August 1836. She was an old vessel, having been built in the American state of Maryland in 1775. The recent failure of the northern fishery may have meant there were a number of whalers like her on the market.
She departed Hull in October 1836 under the command of Captain James Wakeling. Captain Wakeling was an experienced mariner who had previously commanded the British whalers Prudent and the Pandora (1831-1835). She seems to have been fully equipped and manned for whaling from the start. Among her crew was the "surgeon" (ship's doctor) Dr George Eaton Stanger (1816-1892). The vessel took fourteen tons of sperm whale oil on the way to South Australia where she arrived 23 April 1837. The sixty-two year old vessel arrived in poor condition and there were instances of desertion and drunkenness among the crew that caused problems for the company. (AGE Jones, Ships Employed in the South Seas Trade, 1775-1861, (1986) Index p.101; Keith Travers Borrow, Whaling at Encounter Bay (1947) pp.3-5)
She departed Nepean Bay 8 May 1837, apparently on a bay whaling cruise, and returned 4 September and underwent repairs (R.T Sexton, Shipping Arrivals and Departures in South Australia, 1627-1850, (1990) p.34).
She next left Nepean Bay on January 10 January 1838 for Encounter Bay to take aboard the oil and "bone" (baleen) and provisions from the Solway that had been wrecked there in December 1837. (Sexton, p.42). She returned to Kingscote 3 February 1838 but ran aground at low water. She was refloated and departed for Hobart on 16 February where she arrived 5 March. (Ian Nicholson, Shipping Arrivals and Departures, Tasmania, 1834-1842, (1985) p.106).
The vessel remained in Hobart for some months repairing and fitting out for a pelagic or deep-sea whaling voyage. She seems to have departed Hobart for the South Seas around July 1839. The cruise lasted for twelve-months and ended on 3 July 1840 in Sydney where she arrived with just thirty tons of sperm whale oil aboard. (Ian Nicholson, Shipping Arrivals and Departures, Sydney, 1826-1840, (1981) p.244)
She departed Sydney for the whaling grounds on 29 September 1840. This voyage ended when she returned to South Australia on 1 February 1842 again with only 30 tons of oil aboard (Sexton, p.86). Dr Stanger seems to have left the ship at around this time as Sarah and Elizabeth had a different surgeon on board when she sailed from South Australia for London on 19 January 1843.
Another crewman who left the vessel around this time was seaman E. Binyon who wrote home to his father in England, "The Sarah and Elizabeth is now fitting out for home and I should have gone in her if I had been treated as I ought to have been. I have had no encouragement from the company at all. I arrived here about ten months ago after a cruise of sixteen months. We made as usual, a very bad voyage …" (Borrow, p.14)
The above is a bare outline of the movements of the vessel on which Dr Stanger served. A more detailed description is available in a journal he kept while on board. It is now in the keeping of the Gloucestershire Archives in the UK where it is listed as "Surgeons log book 1836-41" in record series D543. The journal seems to have been microfilmed by the Australian Joint Copying Project (AJCP) back in the 1980s and it may be possible to obtain a copy from the National Library in Canberra or from the State Library of South Australia. Whaling surgeons had a lot of time on their hands at sea and sometimes their journals contain very detailed accounts of events aboard in their hazardous trade.
Sarah and Elizabeth may have resumed her whaling career from Britain. An English whaler of that name was on the north coast of Timor late in 1843 with most of her crew ashore wooding and watering when the ship was attacked and seized by Malay pirates and burnt. Most of the crew escaped in her boats to other vessels whaling in the area. (The Despatch (A Sydney newspaper) 4 November 1843, p.3).
