He studied medicine in London at Guy's Hospital and in the late 1830s was a ship's surgeon and chaplain employed by the South Australian Company, which was set up to assist merchants colonising South Australia. Stanger served aboard the Sarah & Elizabeth, a ship sailing from Hull to South Australia under Captain Wakeling.

He was appointed a member of the College of Surgeons and the Apothecaries Hall in July 1840.^[1] He then moved to practice in Nottingham in the early 1840s. In 1845 he was appointed honorary surgeon to the Nottingham Dispensary.^[2] From 1845^[3] he was in partnership with George Mills White but this partnership was dissolved in 1851.^[4]

By 1846 he was a member of the Nottingham Medico-Chirurgical Society. He was elected president of the society twice, firstly in 1870-71 and again in 1876-77.

He married Mary Hurst (1819-1894), eldest daughter of baptist preacher Nathan Hurst (1779-1851) and Sarah Beecroft (1781-1866) in Broad Street Baptist Chapel on 4 Jun 1844 and they had the following children:
