Unfortunately the Wallsend records for c.1800 seem to be missing from the Bishops Transcripts.
This is a great shame because if there was a baptism at that time it would have been a Shute Barrington entry which would not only have given the names of the parents but also the parishes in which they were born  ::)

Duplicate thread http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=783506.msg6381997#msg6381997

in this you give date of birth between 1796 and 1803, and birth place probably Longbenton, rather than what you've stated on here (birth October 1801 in Wallsend)  :-\

Jen -

After much researching (I found various John Scott's born to 3/4 different sets of parents) I have concluded through census records that he was born in 1801.  One Ancestry.com family tree showed October 1801, so I am going with that until I can prove otherwise and his parents were shown as John Scott and Ann Gray/Grey. 

  Also found this:
England, Select Births and Christenings, 1538-1975 John Scott born Oct 1 1801 to John Scott and Ann Gray/Grey and baptised in Wallsend on Nov 22 1801.  To date I have these parents as his, but no further confirmation from any other records (marriage for example). Which would prove his parents were indeed John and Ann Gray/Grey.

Yes, I know the census did not mention Wallsend.  Perhaps the family member who gave the information did not know?  My source is:

England, Select Births and Christenings, 1538-1975
Name John Scott
Gender Male
Birth Date 01 Oct 1801
Baptism Date 22 Nov 1801
Baptism Place Wallsend,Northumberland,England
Father John Scott
Mother Ann Grey
FHL Film Number 95029

Possibly  :-\

Or equally possibly your John Scott did know where he was born, and the person you have settled on is from a totally different family? Scott is not an uncommon name.
