Stan Laurel, Metcalfe connection
« on: Sunday 26 March 17 10:32 BST (UK) »
Hi,
Has anyone traced the history of Stan Laurel beyond his mother Margaret Metcalfe b 19/3/1884 Askrigg and his grandfather George Metcalfe , a shoe maker. Like many others I have Metcalfe ancestors from that area.

Think that date is Margaret's marriage to Arthur Jefferson.

There's a mention of him about a third of the way down this page on the Metcalfe Society website:
https://www.metcalfes-online.co.uk/metcalfe/12/Notable%20Metcalfes

The information was contributed by one of the society members, so presumably it's based on their research.
Researching among others:
Bartle, Bilton, Bingley, Campbell, Craven, Emmott, Harcourt, Hirst, Kellet(t), Kennedy,
Meaburn, Mennile/Meynell, Metcalf(e), Palliser, Robinson, Rutter, Shipley, Stow, Wilkinson
