Chatters and Scott families

Clive Scott has contacted me from Texas:
(with apologies for a delay in posting)

I am looking for any information about Emily Selina Chatters and her husband William Henry Scott.
Emily was born in Glemsford on December 29, 1891 and married William in Wandsworth London on 25 Nov, 1916.
She died in Glemsford in 1965 at 47 Brook Street. She also lived in Chequers Lane, and may have worked at the silk works when younger.
William was born in London in October 1895.
Scotts did live next door to Emily in Chequers Lane, were these relatives of William?
Emily's father was Leonard and her mother Jane Brown.
William's family appear to have come from the Channel Islands were the trail goes cold.


If anyone can help Clive with his search, please get in touch via me - admin@glemsford.org.uk

Strutt and Scott

It's something of a novelty to be reaching back to the 16th Century on these pages.

Donna Bailey (email address with me, as always) has asked me to add this search request.

I am trying to identify the correct parents for Julian/Juliann SCOTT who married John STRUTT on 21 Oct 1578 in Glemsford.

I think she may be the daughter of Richard and Joan SCOTT m. 8 Oct 1556 in Glemsford, but I have
only found evidence of children Dorothy & Joan (twins) and William for this couple.

I am also looking for the parents of Joanne IPSWICH who married Ambrose BIGGS on 3 Jun 1576 in Glemsford.

I also have an elusive HALLS family that aren't from Glemsford but are in the area. William HALLS married Margery BIGGS on 13 May 1628 in Glemsford.

They had a daughter Anna in 1629 in Glemsford and also a daughter Rebecca in 1641 in Hartest (my direct line). This is a very large gap between children so I am assuming there are more children baptised in nearby parishes.

If anyone can help me with any of these families I would love to hear from them.

Thanks for the posting, Donna.
