This suggests you are descended from one of their children - but you are asking if they had any children.  Can you clarify if you are a direct descendant of Reuben

So we know they had at least one child

If you check the 1881 census for Selina - you will find her mother is married to an Elias Smith.  4 Scarrott children are shown on that 1881 entry

freebmd has a marriage in 1879 for Elias and Susannah so Reuben must have died between Mary's birth in 1877/78 and 1879 which is a very short timescale

No death on freebmd for Reuben - I wonder if he was a mariner and died at sea?

Do you have a copy of either the 1863 marriage cert or the one for Selina and Abraham

EDIT

I have just seen your other thread which says that Selina's father was James

selina scarrotts real father was james scarrott . he was deceased when selina married in 1895 her father was a farm labourer. i cannot find a death for james scarrott

I would suggest you buy a copy of Selina's birth cert to confirm her fathers name and mothers maiden name

Possible

Selina Scarrott reg 1875 Whitney illegitimate.  Ref: GRO Index.

Baptised at Burford Oxfordshire on 10 April 1877 daughter of Susannah Scarrott, single woman.

You will have to get a copy of the marriage certificate to see if she named a father, she may have made one up, but it will help to determine if this is the correct Selina.
