thanks Annie,
Yes Gladstone is a name carried down on my Adam Scott's family. His son Kenneth named one of his son's John Gladstone Scott born 1905 in Wellington NZ. My Adam and all his family apart from eldest son, immigrated to NZ and I have a very large and full details of each line coming down. My Adam Scott and Mary Gillanders, tended to use family names for their children. Eg. ones that have Gillanders as middle names definitely relate to the Gillanders family names, and the ones without do relate the Scott family - common of which are Adam, John, Thomas, Charles, and Walter.
The Gladstone name comes from Janet Leithead's Father who was Gladstone Leithead married to Helen Hall, and the John most likely from Adam's Father (this is the Adam Scott married to Janet Leithead), whose parents were John Scott and Isabella Blaikie.
I think along with some other cousins who have been working on this theory for some years that this is most likely the correct family. All names carried down in the next generations tend to match, hence today decided to make an effort to see if any descendants are out there to talk to.
regards Ailsa
