Sir William Strickland 1596?-1673, politician, elder brother of the above, was born about 1596 (Foster, Yorkshire Pedigrees, vol. ii. ‘Strickland of Boynton’). He was admitted to Gray's Inn on 21 May 1617 (Foster, Gray's Inn Register, p. 145). He was knighted by Charles I on 24 June 1630, and created a baronet on 29 July 1641 (Metcalfe, Book of Knights, p. 191; Deputy-keeper of Public Records, 47th Rep. p. 135). In the Long parliament he represented the borough of Hedon, and vigorously supported the parliamentary cause in Yorkshire. Sir John Hotham wrote to the speaker in March 1643 saying that Strickland had been plundered by the royalists of goods to the value of 4,000l. (Report on the Duke of Portland's MSS. i. 41, 101). In July 1648, when Scarborough declared for the king, Strickland took refuge in Hull (ib. i. 491). He represented Yorkshire in the two parliaments of 1654 and 1656, and was summoned by Cromwell to his House of Lords (Bean, Parliamentary Representation of Yorkshire, pp. 709, 835). His speeches in 1656 show that he was a strict puritan; he spoke often for the punishment of James Nayler, and was eager to assert the privileges of the house against the Protector's intervention (Burton, Parliamentary Diary, i. 35, 51, 75, 79, 131, 169, 252, 275). An opposition pamphlet stigmatises him as ‘of good compliance with the new court, and for settling the Protector anew in all those things for which the king was cut off’ (‘Second Narrative of the Late Parliament,’ Harleian Miscellany, iii. 486). Strickland sat in the restored Long parliament in 1659, but took very little part in its proceedings (Masson, Life of Milton, v. 455, 544). At the Restoration he was not molested, and after it he retired altogether from public affairs. He died in 1673.
Strickland married twice: first, on 18 June 1622, Margaret, daughter of Sir Richard Cholmley of Whitby (she died in 1629) (Memoirs of Sir Hugh Cholmley, pp. 22, 29; Foster, London Marriage Licences, 1298); secondly, Frances Finch, eldest daughter of Thomas, first earl of Winchilsea.
