I'm looking for members of the Scatliffe family of the British Virgin Islands. My great great grandmother's maiden name was Laura Agnes Scatliffe, unfortunately I don't have her DOB. She married John Charles Todman, their daughter was Theodocia Valeria Todman 1894-1980. Who were Laura's her parents?

A quick response, before going to bed! As you probably know, both Scatliffe and Todman are long-established, common names in the BVI. The 1798 Tortola Plantation Map shows three estates owned by Thomas Todman and a Mrs Scatliffe growing sugar on another one, while there were three Scatliffes and a Todman living in the African Location in Kingstown in 1831. The current BVI white pages lists 47 Scatliffe and 40 Todman subscribers. You really need to do some research in Tortola if you can, as BVI records are scattered around various offices. The General Civil Registry holds records from 1859 onwards. I shall e-mail you a list of "Sources of BVI Family Records" compiled by The Archives Unit in the Deputy Governor's Office. The Public Library may hold a booklet produced for the funeral of Theodocia Valeria Todman if she was buried here. They are often excellent sources of family history. Good luck!

I too am looking for information regarding the Scatliffe family . . . My grandmother was born Othelia Scatliffe . . . I am attaching a copy of the Hodge family Reunion, July 31 - August 16, 1988 (documentation was too large to attach to this correspondence - this is the 2nd time I am sending). It shows documentation of Amanda Elnora Hodge, married to Joseph Scatliffe (in 1899). However the name you are looking for is not shown on this family tree, and I am NOT sure that I have come across it in my searches. I was in Tortolla during the summer of 2006, and did some searching through the national arhives. I plan another trip, as I am now better prepared and have some leads of what I should be looking for. It is surprising, because the 1798 plantation map of Tortolla shows one very small sugar plantation being owned by a Mrs. Scatliife, that there are so many scatliffe's still residing in Tortolla. But a Luther Scatllife is known for having 23 children with his wife and mistresses . . . - I can't identify him along my famly tree, although I am told that ALL Scatliife's are related, and that there ARE three ain branches of the Scatliffe family. I actually met with Dr. Vincent Scatliffe, one of Luther's sons during my trip to Tortola . . . In any event, I would love to talk to you, if you should find it desirable, to share my information and to learn what you have dicovered . . .
