Is anyone else researching SCOTTS in Cambridgeshire?
« on: Monday 23 March 15 11:50 GMT (UK) »
Still hunting for my runaway Gt Grandfather, Walter SCOTT - bn 6 October 1867 in Christchurch. nr. Upwell to John & Hannah SCOTT.

According to family lore, in about 1905, Walter did a runner with the school teacher from Stonea School, and was never heard of again - leaving a wife and 3 young children including my grandmother, Grace.  They apparently went to Canada, but no-one knows.

Now, a distant relative has come up with the information that Walter died aged 40 in Cambridge in 1908 !   Mar Qtr, 3b, 331.

What I'm really after - does any fellow SCOTT researcher hold a copy of this certificate as I'd love to find out if this really is my gt grandfather.

Unless the informant was the teacher and you know her name, how will the death cert help in identifying him? Are you looking for his burial as well? There are a few Ancestry trees which include this family and all have his death as being 1908, but none of them appear to have the certificate

Along with other information received, the 1908 Walter SCOTT is NOT my missing Gt Grandfather.

Back to the drawing board .................

At least you managed to rule it out.   What was his occupation.

Farmer.  Have just unpacked all my research notes from a few years ago to see if there are any old leads to re-follow - wish me luck !

The children are living with their grandparents on the 1911 census.
Do you know where their mother Ann is.

Their mother, Anne Maria was in Chatteris - her home town - working as a Monthly Nurse for the Asplands who lived on York Road.
