Glamorgan. 2 sons; suc. father 5.9.1685; Sheriff of
Glamorgan 1709-1710.
Stradling owed his Cardiff seat as much to his own
influence in Glamorgan, where his rent roll was said to
be £50001 as to the support of his brother-in-law, Thomas
Mansel a former MP for the boroughs and the county.
Described in 1715 as a Tory who might often vote with the
Whigs, he voted with the opposition in all recorded
divisions. In 1721 his name was sent to the Pretender
as a probable supporter in the event of a rising2. He
retired from Parliament in favour of his son, Edward in
1722 and died 5.4.1735.
