Hi Andrew,

I was just rawling through the Cumberland posting and notices you had found a Scoon Headstone.  Frances Scoon the sister of Robert and Geaorge ans daughter of William and Mary was my Great Great Aunt.  So thanks so much.

Kindest regards

Hi Gillian,

Yes it is the same family.  Frances who married Joseph Ackerley would have been the niece of James.  Her father was James's brother William.  Either e-mail me at e-mail removed to prevent spam and other abuses - please use PM system to exchange personal details or if you pop into the chatroom on here you will find me there most evening.  The information I have is a bit long to post on the forum.

Kindest regards

Anyway, the Scoons are married into my Broughs being William Scoon born 1858, Wigton married Fanny Brough 1879 Holme St Cuthberts.

Hi All,

Does anyone have any baptism or marriage details for the William Scoon/Mary Barns family? I found nothing on IGI. Were there any other children apart from Frances, Thomas, Robert & George?

Thanks,

Gillian

 ;D Hi,

I have all the census details from 1851 for William Scoon and Mary Barnes which of course gives a rough idea of birth dates but could never find a marriage for the couple.

I have William 18 March 1808 Hairlawhill, Canonbie (Labourer) and Mary Barnes about 1815 Longnewton, Cumberland.  Mary says she was born at Longnewton in 2 census' and Kirkbride, Cumberland in another.

Jane Anne Scoon, William and Mary's 3rd daughter is the link into my Family Tree.  Jane had a son William Scoon who married Fanny Brough 1 November 1879 at Holme St. Cuthberts, Cumberland.

I have ten children for William and Mary...
Mary Scoon Abt. 1834
John Scoon 10 January 1836
Jane Anne Scoon 12 August 1838
William Scoon 1840
Thomas Scoon 6 November 1842
Martha Scoon 5 January 1845
Robert Scoon 1846
George Scoon 1850
Elizabeth (Betsy) Scoon 9 February 1853
Frances Scoon 6 May 1855

All these children are confirmed on the census records.

Cheers

I am confused.  Why are there no SCOON entries in the surname interests table?
