There were ten emigrants: Joe, Herbert, John, Thomas, Walter, Harry, Benjamin, Harriot, Margaret and Frederick from the West Riding of Yorkshire, UK, who account for all Scatchards living in North America past and present. The five in red went on to produce Scatchard offspring. Click on the underlined text below to see each particular branch of the Tree.

The Scatchards can now boast of a (semi) famous and (definitely) beautiful
Movie Actress, Yvonne Furneaux.

Yvonne Furneaux was born in Lille, France, on May 11, 1928, under the name Yvonne Elizabeth Scatchard. With unique pale eyes that almost look surnatural, she began a cinema career in England, starting in 1952. Yvonne worked mainly in Europe, in comedies and adventure films, more often in international productions, co-starring two times alongside Errol Flynn. As Hammer Studios began to be popular around the world, Yvonne took dual roles for The Mummy, playing Isobel Banning and Princess Ananka, alongside Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee. Out of the blue she was invited by Federico Fellini to be part of his timeless classic La Dolce Vita, in 1960. Yvonne mostly remained in Italy for the following years, starring in a Dr. Mabuse movie along the way and many more adventure projects, eventually playing Helen of Troy. In 1965, she had a short but important part in Repulsion by Roman Polanski. Another career highlight remains Claude Chabrol's The Champagne Murders. Her last credit is the quite puzzling Frankenstein's Great Aunt Tillie in 1984, in which she plays the title role.
