Some notes on Emmota’s husbands.

Emmota (died 1592) had 3 husbands, listed below, and 4 children:
1. Nicholas Shirecliffe, child Nicholas Shirecliffe (spelt numerous ways);
2. Nicholas Scott, died 1564, children Thomas died 1585, Barbara married to Henry Bannyster (named as Barbara Scott in her father’s will, so married after 1564);
3. Edmund Derneley, married 1567, child Oliver Derneley.

Emmota’s second husband was Nicholas Scott of Barnes Hall who died in 1563, son of Richard Scott. Their child Thomas Scott inherited Barnes Hall with Emmota granted tenure of Barnes Hall during her lifetime. Thomas died in 1585 whilst his mother was still alive. His will says: “And concerning Barnes Hall &c which is now in the holding and tenure of Emmott Dernelly my dearlie beloved mother …”. Thomas’s will also mentions his two half-brothers, referring to them as brothers. Emmota and Nicholas’s daughter Barbara Scott married Henry Bannyster ‘of York in 1584’. They had a daughter Jane Bannyster who married William Dawson (dates unknown).

(When Sir Richard Scott, Thomas’s son and Emmota’s grandson, died without issue in 1638, Barnes Hall passed to his half-brother and second cousin Richard Watts (Thomas’s widow had married Thomas’s cousin)).

Emmota’s third husband was Edmund Derneley. The marriage date was 1567, and he pre-deceased his wife but is not recorded as buried at Ecclesfield. They had a son Oliver Derneley.

Oliver is mentioned in three wills: from his uncle Edward Scott he inherited vjs viijd, from his half-brother Thomas Scott vjli xiijs iiijd, from his mother Emmota xxl and various items (see indexed references to Oliver on page 168 of Gatty’s book). He married, but the name of his wife is unknown. His child Margret was baptised in March 1588/89 at Ecclesfield. This is the only child of Oliver’s in the Ecclesfield BMDs.

Emmota died at Barnes Hall in 1592.
