Title: Scarrotts from Wyrley Staffordshire
Post by: dbarrall on Friday 26 February 21 11:26 GMT (UK)
Hi,
We have been tracing our Scarrott ancestors and have now traced these back to William Scarrott/ Margaret Whitehouse from Cheslyn Hay, Staffordshire.

We are trying to source anything we put in the Family Tree but are struggling on a few children of William and Margaret.

We have:
William Scarrott b: 1794 Cannock, Staffs
John Scarrott b: 1796  Ramsden, Oxon
Thomas Scarrott b: 1798 Cannock, Staffs
James Scarrott b: 1800  Cheveley, Berkshire
Pricilla Scarrott b: 1804 Witney, Oxfordshire
Eliza Scarrott b: 1815 Finstock, Oxfordshire
Charles Scarrott b: 1816 Finstock, Oxfordshire
Rebecca Scarrott b: 1817Finstock, Oxfordshire

I also have a William Scarrott/ Fanny Bosley  with 3 children
Eleanor Scarrott b: 1785 Charlbury, Oxon
Esau Scarrott b: 1783
Sophia Scarrott b: 1781  Finstock, Oxon

Is this the same William?

A lot of on-line trees also have
Mary Ann b: 1807 but I cannot find any indication of this so to confirm.

Regards
David

Colin,

The baptism of William fits and also of Margaret Whitehouse so I will add this to my family tree.

This Scarrott tree is rather large, Scarrotts marrying Scarrots and it gets very complicated to trace everyone.

Thanks for your reply David. I note that William died 1855 Bampton, which is in the registration district of Witney. However the GRO record below states age 90?

   SCARROTT, WILLIAM       90 
GRO Reference: 1855  M Quarter in WITNEY  Volume 03A  Page 476

Colin,

William was 81 in the 1851 Census @ Burford, Oxon, ( Witney District )down as Searcott on Ancestry.

William Searcott Age81
James Searcott Age50
Hannah Searcott Age49

Father of James so I would presume that this is the same William b; 1765

The baptism I posted earlier was 1771, which may be correct but the place of birth in 1851 is Chester, Staffordshire, which may have been transcribed incorrectly I have not seen original, however it may be worth looking at the baptism below?

William SCROTT   Baptism   4 Mar 1769   Staffordshire   Cannock : St Luke : Parish Register

Father Esau SCROTT abode Chesland Hay. plus below, mother  also noted as Eleanor. Nothing in between?

Peter SCERRETT   Baptism   27 Feb 1785   Staffordshire   Cannock : St Luke : Parish Register


Esau SCARROT, a Collier, no status, married  Eleanor HALL, spinster 2 May 1763 Cannock : St Luke, of  Chesland Hay

Witnesses Edward WARD & Thomas BYRCH Bride and Groom sign (X). Witnesses sign the register.

Thanks Colin,

Find My Past has the Staffordshire Registers for Cannock St Luke so I will trawl my way through these.
