SKARR / SCARR

[ontchick]

I am looking for any information on the following people:

DEBORAH SCARR m. Matthew Richmond Jan 30, 1694 in Askrigg, York

MICHAEL SKARR/SCARR m. Ann Exellby May 13, 1605 Saint Michael Spurriergate, York.

Would welcome any info on any SCARR / SKARR / SKAR family member.

Happy searching, Ontchick

Dear Ontchick

I too am researching the Scarr tree so I guess we are related.

I take my Scarr family back to Jenkin Scarrr abt 1851.
Your time frame I have
George & Ann Scarr nee Clarkson married 1701
Ch: Janet, George and James.
My line continues through James b. 12 Jan 1713 Helm Yorkshire to Jane Cloughton 20 May 1745 Aysgath Nth Yorkshire. Ch. George and John (so far)

Cheers

Your Scarr tree intrigues me as I too have some of these Scarr/Skarrs in my tree.

I have James Scarr bap Jan 12th 1712 at Askrigg so of George Scarr and Ann (Cloughton) who married May 25th 1701 at Askrigg.

Then this James Scarr married Ellen Cloughton of Lambshill April 25th 1731 at Askrigg.

They had, I think, 10 children.

Their 7th child Betty Scarr married Jeffrey Dinsdale  March27th 1776 at Askrigg and that is where I link up with this Scarr family.
Dinsdale's are one of my main areas of interest (although this particular lot are not a close link)

The 2 things which interest me on you tree are;

Firstly,I don't have any link or mention anywhere of a Jenkins Scarr.
Could you please give more details of him ?

Secondly, my records show that a James Scarr did marry May 20th 1745 but to a Jane Coulson/Coulton and not to a Jane Cloughton.
I do not know which James Scarr this is but it is not the one who married Ellen Cloughton as they were still baptising children at and after 1745.

I would welcome your thoughts on this as I may have mixed up some James Scarr's somewhere along the way.

Do you have a copy of the Metcalfe Society "The History of the Clan" ?

If so, then Branch 14 might fit your needs.

If not, then:

George Metcalfe born c 1733 married Elizabeth Robinson 1768 at Coniscliffe.
They had 7 children.
They lived at first in Hipswell villiage but after the birth of their second child, they took over as millers at Hipswell.

The chart does not give the names of all his 7 children and names only:
Sarah Metcalfe born 1782 who married Robert Harrison
Robert Metcalfe  born 1787 who married Elizabeth King
John Metcalfe born 1793 who married Mary Barbara Binks.

It does not mention you Metcalfe daughter Henrietta by name but could the Robert King she married be of the same family as Elizabeth King who married Robert Metcalfe ?

George Metcalfe born c 1733 was buried at Hipswell St John the Evangelist Sept 2nd 1829 aged 96.
There are 2 burials at St John the Evangelist which might fit his wife Elizabeth:
Elizabeth Metcalf buried July 31st 1827 aged 82
Elizabeth Metcalf buried Nov 15th 1818 aged 89.
