Bairn Metcalfe

Bairn Metcalfe was the son of Mary and Mr Metcalfe. In 1946, Mary became sick of being a farmer's wife and left Mr Metcalfe, trying to take Bairn with her to London. Mr Metcalfe warned her off taking him and leaving, and when she ignored him, he beat her to death. Mr Metcalfe told Bairn that she has simply left, so Bairn never discovered the truth about what happened to his mother.
At some point prior to 1987, Bairn also died at the age of 30.
In January 1974, Annie Sugden mentioned a Metcalfe who ran a petrol station near Hotten. It is unclear whether he was Bairn.
