Scandrett history

[Steff015]

Hi,

Looking for any information on Thomas Scandrett (married Deborah Ann), parents Jacob and Ann Wright.  Thomas born abt 1821.  Born and lived in Ireland, County Down (where exactly?). Moved to Ontario, Canada in 1932 (London, Middlesex County).  Looking for Irish history only.  Thanks.

Hi Steph

Welcome to RootsChat 

There were possible siblings to Thomas, leaving Ireland to make their lives in London, Ontario.

There is this christening for example:

Joseph Scandrett
Baptism 27 Dec 1829 Moira, Down, Ireland
Father Jacob Scandrett
Mother Anne
FHL Film Number 924498

See www.townlands.ie/down/moira2/

Joseph looks to have died young, www.findagrave.com/memorial/250525397/joseph-scandrett

Thanks Monica.  I think I have most of that.  The details about when Thomas died are yet outstanding.

So 2 sisters and 2 brothers ,all children of Jacob.

John  1798 -22.5.1835 and his wife Elizabeth 1800-12.11.1835

Could they be Jacob's father and mother and his brother John ?

There looks to be another Jacob Scandrett in the same area around the same time which might muddy the waters on searches.

This Jaboc married an Alice Stafford. This is given as his burial entry www.findagrave.com/memorial/138763056/jacob-scandrett?

I have researched Jacob and Alice Stalford, my wifes ancestors.  This Jacob was born 1776 Moira and died 1844 Kilwarlin, both County Down. The Jacob who married Ann Wright & went to Canada is shown as born 1788 in scotland, same as Ann. Certainly I have never been able to fit them into the Scandrett Irish puzzle and I have traced my wifes line back to 1699 in County Down.  Happy searching.
