Hi! I am not sure about my Robert Scott (born approx 1790). I haven't followed his line. His father Robert was a Miller in Wilton (mother ?Janet Buckhorn?) so I assumed he was born there. I could be wildly wrong of course. It is his sister Mary I am following who married a James Murray. I don't have a wife for him so you could be right.

I hope you are!

Regards

Yvonne

Oh ok. My Scott's correspond with Lockzie I think. Quite a few dates are the same and names.

Hello Fellow Researchers  :)

I have started researching the SCOTT family originally from Yarrow but now around the Hobkirk, Hawick and Yetholm areas

My SCOTT'S are:
Robert SCOTT - 21 November 1815.
Walter SCOTT - 14 February 1818
George SCOTT - 17 August 1820 died 16 April 1857 in Hawick flesher. (My direct line)
Agnes SCOTT - 11 September 1823
Isabella SCOTT - 26 November 1826
There were possibly 2 other sons called John and James
The aboves  parents were Robert SCOTT  1786 - 1863 and Agnes MITCHELL c1782 - 1857.

Robert SCOTT - 1786 - 1863 parents were John SCOTT and Mary GRIEVE 

I am stuck with John SCOTT and Mary GRIEVE, they married in Hawick on 13 January 1781. Robert SCOTT b. 1786 is the only child I am aware of, thats all I know about them! I would love to know some more about them like did they have other children, when did they die etc

Has anyone else been tracing their SCOTT family and come across this family please?

Would love to hear from you

Many thanks
Amanda

Hi Hannalee,
In response to your query about John Scott I will be able to help you. I must point out though that your information on Helen Scott (you have marrying a Mason) is very different to mine. I do however have ALL of John and Helen (nee Oliver) Scott's children. Some of them emigrated to Australia. I also have some scant information going back a further 3 generations if interested.
I hope this helps get you entangled in your SCOTT tree. Let me know if I can help.
P.S. I have many many certificates purchased to verify my information.

The children of John and Helen are as follows:
Helen Oliver Scott (B: 12-02-1819, M: Thomas Greig 12-12-1852, D: 18-03-1902)
George Corson Scott (B: 13-09-1820, M: Isabella Irvine 26-08-1844, D: 18-09-1902)
un-named Scott (B: 10-10-1821, D: 13-10-1821)
John Scott (B: 30-10-1822, D: 14-03-1823)
Elizabeth Scott (B: 22-06-1824, M: Thomas Bridget 28-05-1848, D: 5-04-1870 IN AUSTRALIA)
Gilbert Scott (B: 10-08-1826, Married twice D: 23-12-1907)
Robert Scott (B: 25-12-1827 M: Margaret Halliburton 21-12-1851 D: 10-10-1906 IN AUSTRALIA) These are my GG Grand parents
Andrew Scott (B: 22-07-1829, D: 7-05-1884)
Agnes Scott (B: 31-12-1831, M Thomas Beattie 23-11-1855, D: 24-06-1909)
Janet Scott (B: 30-06-1833, Married twice, D: 3-11-1910)
Adam Scott (B: 1-01-1835, M: Louisa Booth 1867, D: 7-08-1909 IN AUSTRALIA) and
Mary Scott (B: 3-09-1836, M: John McCartney 1858, D: 6-11-1925 IN AUSTRALIA)

I am looking for my Ancestors. I am in Australia and have traced back to:

Henry Braefoot Scott[/b] (b1836) m Elizabeth Thomas (b1850 Australia)

Thomas Scott (b1805 Yarrow) m Elizabeth Armstrong (b1805 Cavers)[/b][/b] and had Children Thomas (b1831), William (b1833), John (b1834), Henry Braefoot (b1836), Elizabeth (b1938), Elizabeth (b1840), Mary (b1843), Jessie (b1844) and James (b1846)

thomas Scott (b1769 Yarrow) m Marion Tod (b1768 Ettrick) and had children Jean (b1793), Elizabeth (b1795), Alison (b1797), Agnes (b1799), Henry (b1801), Margaret (b1803), Thomas (b1805), Michail (b1807), John (b1809) and James (b1812)

I am unsure on Thomas Scott and MArion Todd - who their parents and ancestors are. I have one site which takes them back to Sir Walter Scott but there is no backup for this. Can anyone help?

I would definitely distrust any tree that traces Thomas Scott, born 1769 in Yarrow, County of Selkirk, back to Sir Walter Scott, who was born two years later, 1771, in Edinburgh!

Sir Walter Scott was a son of Walter Scott WS, an Edinburgh lawyer, who was born on 11 May 1729, the son of Robert Scott, farmer at Sandyknowe, parish of Smailholm, County of Roxburgh. See https://www.geograph.org.uk/stuff/list.php?label=Sandyknowe+Farm&gridref=NT6434
Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.
