England
IrelandThe name Ainger reached England in the great wave of migration following the Norman Conquest of 1066. The Ainger family lived in the area of Angers, Anjou France and is found there in charters in the Latinized form of Angevinus. [1]

Josceline D'Aunger in 1169 witnessed the foundation charter of Lanercost Abbey, and Ralph de Angers in the thirteenth century held lands in Wilts. Ralph de Aungers was Sheriff of Notts, 49 and 50 Henry III. " [5]
