The Straine family in Our Kentish Origins
Straine is a very rare name in the British Isles.
"The original name derives from the lands of Strachan in the former county of Kincardinshire, but it would seem that the name was quite early into England as amongst the recordings in the early surviving church registers are those of Richard Streyn who married Margaret Conye at Northwood in Hampshire on July 29th 1555 .... The first recorded spelling of the family name is believed to be that of Waldeuus de Stratheihan in the year 1199, when he was a charter witness for a grant of lands to the abbey of St Andrews. This was during the reign of King William, The Lyon, of Scotland 1165-1214" - The Internet Surname Database
