James was the first born son to Sir Robert Strange and Isabella Lumisden. His parents were avid Jacobites and his Father was present in Prince Charles Edward Stuart's Life Guard at the battle of Culloden in 1746. The Prince was James' Godfather, hence his given names. His Father became an eminent engraver and was knighted by George III. He was my 6xGrUncle.
