I am trying to find a Henry Mellors of Scarcliffe who according to a bastardy bond was named Father to my Gt Gt Gt Grandfather Henry Houldsworth in 1817 in Scarcliffe. On the document he is Henry the younger as his Father Henry is also on it as one of the overseers.
So far I have not found him.

Possible?

There is also a will for Henry Mellors of Scarcliffe in 1832 dated 3rd May looks like executor is Thos Mellor,
There is a Thomas Mellors age 55, farmer in area 1841 with wife Martha age 55 and likely son Henry age 25, maybe possible relations.

Interesting Notice 4 years further on we have a Sarah Mellors in a similar age bracket or two as Palterton is joined on to Scarcliffe really?
