Hi
ive traced my ancestry back to reuben scarrott born 1842 charlbury finstock
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

hi carol my great grandfather abraham james bond married selina scarrott born 1875 in burford her mothers name was susannah rowles who married reuben scarrott at burford 13/sept/1863
-
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
Selina Scarrott December qtr 1875 Witney 3a 713

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.
