James Yarrow
1875-1946
James Yarrow was the second of three sons of James Yarrow and his wife Mary (née Gothard).
James Yarrow (the younger) married Adelaide Bishop, a schoolteacher from Wicken, Cambridgeshire in 1896 at Little Thetford. The couple went on to have 15 documented children (although my Gt. Grandmother stated that there were another 6 who died young).
The family moved in 1899 to Wilburton and lived in the Station Cottages where James became Station Master. In the later wartime years, the family moved to Wilburton old Vicarage which still exists today with its stunning views across the fenland.
