John Hanger (banker)

The couple separated only two years later, without issue, and the barony of Coleraine became extinct upon his death in 1749.

[6] He replaced Gerard Conyers as governor in 1719 and served as such until 1721 when he was succeeded by Thomas Scawen.

[8] In November 1720, he and a party of bank officials visited the company and after enquiring into the security it could give, Hanger read a letter informing them that the bank would only provide the first £400,000 of its agreed rescue subscription of £3m, the future proceeds of which had underpinned the share price.

[8][9] In 1871, Hanger featured as a character in W. Harrison Ainsworth's novelisation of those events.

A marble memorial to the family exists in St Michael's Church, Bray, the details of which were documented by the architectural historian Peter Spokes in the Berkshire Archaeological Journal in 1939.
