Annie Elizabeth Scott
1860 – 1916
✓ Validated against records · 2026-07-09
Annie Elizabeth Scott was baptised at Howden on the 12th of August 1860, the eldest surviving child of George Scott — an agricultural labourer of Thorpe Lidgett — and his second wife, Mary Ann Stainley. The 1861 census, taken when she was eight months old, sets the three of them at the very foot of the Thorpe enumeration: her father a farm labourer born at Cavil, her mother born at Asselby, and Ann Elizabeth, aged eight months, in the house.
She grew up in that corner of Howdenshire among a dense web of Scott kin. The 1871 census finds her at Newfields, eleven years old and a scholar, with two younger brothers, Ralph and George Henry — and, under the same roof, her widowed grandfather George Stainley, a former agricultural labourer of Asselby. Next door was her uncle, Holliday Scott; the Calverts a little way off were cousins too. It was a family that had come down in the world of letters as well as land: her great-grandfather Solomon Scott had been the parish clerk of Blacktoft, but Annie, like her father, would sign with a mark.
On the 6th of May 1880 she married at Eastrington John Harrison, a labourer of that parish, making her mark in the register where he signed his name. That marriage — and the two-roomed house on Station Road, the ten children, the long widowhood — belongs to his page. Through their daughter Harriet Ann Harrison, who married Thomas Batty Drewery, Annie Elizabeth Scott's Howdenshire line reaches down to the Drewerys, and the Brocks. She died at Eastrington in the summer of 1916.

Annie Elizabeth Scott — the join to the Harrisons
Research · Thorpe Lidgett & Newfields, Howden
Her two childhood censuses (1861, 1871) are read at the enumeration image this pass — the moment the Scott household comes into focus, three generations deep, with her Stainley grandfather in the house and her Holliday uncle next door. Her baptism (Howden, 12 August 1860) rests on Janet's transcript: the Howden baptism registers of these years are not online. Her marriage to John Harrison (Eastrington, 1880), and everything after it, is told on his page.
- Her baptism at the image. The Howden register (East Riding Archives, PE 121) would confirm the 1860 entry — a Treasure House, Beverley job, with the rest of the Howden baptisms this line is missing.
- Her age. The 1916 death index calls her 58 (implying 1858); her 1860 baptism and both censuses (8 months in 1861, 11 in 1871) settle the birth firmly in 1860 — the index age runs about two years over.
