Title: Henry Mellors the younger of Scarcliffe
Post by: carlT on Wednesday 10 August 16 13:12 BST (UK)
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.

Maybe of interest, names a few Mellors within area.

Looks likely the above death & will is Henry Snr

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?

Looks a good possible that executor Thos was a son

Likely that Henry Snr father was Christoper
