Henry Strangways
Australian politician (1832-1920)
Henry Bull Templer Strangways (14 November 1832, 10 February 1920) was an Australian politician and Premier of South Australia.
Strangways was the eldest son of Henry Bull Strangways Jr. of Shapwick, Somerset, England, and his first wife, Sophia Jane Templer. His family were landed gentry in Somerset but descended from Strangways, Lancashire (now Strangeways, Manchester).
As a boy, he visited South Australia, where his uncle Thomas Bewes Strangways was a pioneer. In January 1861 he married Maria Cordelia Wigley, a sister of William Rodolph Wigley (c. 1826-1890).
