Her name is Catherine Scarr born in Hunton n.Yorks 1779 her parents are listed as Jno (presume John) Scarr & Mary Irvin but I have no birth details, however my family (down through the generations) have always told me that my ancestors came from Askrigg . Does this ring any bells?
Catherine was married to James Pratt in Patrick Brompton & had sons George, Matthew & Benjamin- I can follow that line all the way up to the present day.
Please contact me if you'd like to hear more or think there might be a connection.
Bye for now
