James Yarrow was the fifth of
the eleven known children of William Yarrow and his wife Elizabeth Wright
of Little Thetford, Cambridgeshire. His parents had a second living son of
the same name James Yarrow, 4 years after his birth.
He married Charlotte Lister and
the couple had five known children.
In 1851, James and Charlotte
were the landlords of The Three Horseshoes pub in Little Thetford, a pub
that would be handed to various members of the Yarrow family over the next
100 years. They are also noted as being farmers with 71 acres, employing
an impressive 31 labourers, a horse keeper (John Money) and a house
servant (Eliza Suberton). By 1861, they were farming 136 acres of land and
by 1871, widow Charlotte is noted as farming 175 acres.
By 1881, Charlotte had retired
and was living with her daughter Elizabeth and her Grandson, Arthur Yarrow
on High Street Road, Stretham. She died in 1900 and was buried in Little
Thetford Churchyard, whilst James was buried 37 years earlier in Stretham.
