Hi everyone. One of my ancestors was named William Scarborough. He was born in around 1560 and died in 1614 in Woburn, Buckinghamshire. Not sure where he was born. I know the city of Scarborough is in northern Yorkshire which is why I posted my question here. I'm looking for an old forum post I found a while ago where someone had said they had found evidence that William was born in Yorkshire. The post was made in like 2002 though (not on this forum), and the person had no email address posted so there was no way for me to follow up on it. A lady named Marilyn Winton went to Woburn looking for information on the Scarborough family and while she found the marriage record for William Scarborough and his wife Agnes Farrar, and the baptism records for their children, she couldn't find any other Scarboroughs or Farrars or a baptism record for William or Agnes. Maybe they were just from another town nearby but like I said I know there's the city of Scarborough in the north that maybe the name has to do with and I was wondering if anyone knows anything about a Scarborough family from that region that might expand on what that person posted years ago about William being from Yorkshire.
