Did you Captain James SCOTT, died 1873, leave a Will...that might name children from his first marriage?

You took the words right out of my mouth Annie. What amazing detective work!

Great stuff, folks! I will check SP for that marriage, and for the deaths of the other two children. Also, I have that will - it's a Testament Dative, but it does name the daughters as only next of kin, so the son must have died before his father.

(I should have found that testament before now - can't think how I missed it! Grateful to Don's eagle eyes!)

Also
Matching death on SP in 1863, registered in Brechin for Alexander Scott.
 Matches with birth year of 1861.

EDIT:
I have copies of the  newspaper announcements relating to the death of Capt David Scott in 1867
The death of daughter Helen Smith Scott in 1879
The marriage of his daughter Lizzie Jane in 1883.

Can I post these on RC or is this against T&Cs? (  Does it constitute Copyrighted material?)

Thank you again. That 1863 death is indeed Captain David Scott's son Alexander.
