Murder. Scaws Farm Penrith
« on: Tuesday 08 December 09 16:59 GMT (UK) »
Does any one know anything about a murder that was committed at 'Scaws Farm' Penrith, Please?

When I look it up on google it says about a well known murder having taken place there but does not give any details. Does any one know any names or anything about it. I think it must be around the middle of the last century.

I am interested because a GG Aunt lived there with her daughter.
Thanks
Judy

Hi Judy, a couple of hits for Scaws Farm coming up on the National Archives website, no mention of a murder  :-[

Documents are held in the Cumbria Record Office and Local Studies Library, Whitehaven...might be worth contacting them, someone with some local knowledge might know something.

Hi Judy
I live in Penrith and have done all my life.  I'm not sure what your ancestors names were, but the Scaws Farm belonged to the Clark family at the time of the murder

Thank you all for the help on this. I think my ancestors were earlier than this as I have not found a link to the name Clark as yet. The surnames that I have are 'Spark' & 'Dent'

When I told my husband, he said that it was a son who shot his mother -

Hello Jeffrey,
I can tell you all about this murder as was friends with the person who did it. Also they lived in the farm and I live on Scaw Estate. If you still need information get in touch.

Hi
I have done more research on my family and they had moved on before the murder - but thanks for the offer of help
