Henry Yorke Stanger
He was born in Nottingham, the third son of George Eaton Stanger and Mary Hurst. He was educated at Lincoln College, Oxford (Scholar); Tancred Law Student; 2nd class Classical Moderations; 1st class Greats. He married in 1880, Henrietta Sophia Wastie Green. They had one son and two daughters.[1]
He was called to the Bar in 1874. He was a Revising Barrister for Warwickshire in 1892–93–1894. He became a Queens Council in 1895. He became a Bencher of Lincoln's Inn in 1898. He was formerly a Member of the Midland Circuit. He served as Recorder of Nottingham from 1909 to 1911. He was a County Court Judge, for Circuit 7 from 1910 to 1914 and a County Court Judge for the Bristol Circuit (No. 54) from 1914 to 1922. He retired in 1922.

Political careeredit
He was a member of the Liberal Party. He first stood for parliament in a by-election in 1900 at the safe Conservative seat of Newark, when he was well beaten by the Conservative.[3] A few months later at the 1900 General Election he switched seats to contest the more marginal Conservative seat of Nottingham South, but again finished second. He was finally elected Liberal MP down in London for Kensington North at the 1906 General election, gaining the seat for the Liberals from the Conservatives.
He was a strong supporter of Votes for Women and in 1908 he introduced a Private member's bill in favour of Women's Suffrage. The bill made good progress before finally being blocked.[5] He stood down after one term in January 1910.[6] He was an Independent Chairman of the Nottinghamshire Joint Committee under the Coal Mines (Minimum Wage) Act 1912.
