Scard Biographies - The Southampton, Hampshire Branch John Scard - Charlotte Isenbart Cowper [1801-1881] [1812-1903] of London, formerly of Eling, Hampshire Researched, Compiled and Written by Judith-Ann S Adams 1801: John Scard was born 6th April 1801, baptised at Eling, Hampshire 8th January 1802 the son of Thomas Scard [the younger] and his wife Mary [nee Yeats] His mother was the niece of wealthy Yeoman William Yeats of Lymington. John had eight siblings. 1815: John's paternal grandmother Susannah Scard [nee Benness[ (the daughter and heiress of wealthy Malster John Benness [deceased] of Eling) died testate, buried at Eling on the 9th November 1815 at the recorded age of 72yrs. John's parents were also living at Eling at this time and it is assumed John who was aged thirteen at this time had close contact with his grandmother. For further information relating to John's grandparents - follow the links in the top left panel. 1816: John was aged fourteen when his father died prematurely, intestate, buried at Eling on the 21st December 1816 at the recorded age of forty-one. John's youngest sibling was aged three at that time. Following the death of his father, grave concerns were expressed by the Scard and Yeats' Families regarding his mother's financial security and the education of her children since it would appear that his father was insolvent and any future Scard and Yeats Family Legacies may be in Jeopardy. John's paternal grandfather later writes in his Will of the matter as "a great misfortune". 1824: John's paternal grandfather Thomas Scard [the Elder] died testate, buried at Eling 29th January 1824 at the recorded age of 87years. John was aged twenty-two at this time, his paternal Uncle John Scard named executor of the Will was also living at Eling. 1834: Ten years later John married; Details: John Scard of the Parish of St. Giles in the Field, bachelor and Charlotte Isenbart Cowper married by Licence on the 18th September 1834 at Old Church St. Pancras, London.

Over the next nineteen years John Scard and Charlotte nee Cowper recorded ten known children; Issue Whilst his two brothers Thomas and Edward are recorded in the Oxford University Alumni [Ancestry], it is not clear exactly where John undertook his Law Degree.
