Use Trove -

search words...……. John Scott pilot...…… (for Tasmania newspapers)

to find events in life of his family during his life, and after his death.

Thank you for pointing me to the search function for Trove.  I was getting in via Google but the search is so much better.

Hmmmm... thank you for those insolvency articles.

I have just discovered that John SCOTT first married Isabella FURNESS in Little Broughton, Cumberland, England in 1828. 

Just to note that John SCOTT (mariner, otp) married Isabella FURNESS 25 Sept 1831 at St Peter's Liverpool by licence. Witnesses were Mary Ann FURNESS and Thomas FURNESS. (from Lancs Online Parish Clerks)

I suspect Benjamin SCOTT (m. c1857, d. 1869), who was also a pilot on the R Tamar, was his brother, as he was an executor in John's will.

The Benjamin SCOTT who died in 1869 was only aged 40 so would be a son, not a brother.

Who and where did Benjamin marry?

Yes, Benjamin was the son. He 'married' Sloane Jane Tully and they had eight children.  I have not found their marriage, which should be about 1855.  Sloane's father was Assistant Harbour Master at Launceston.

I have also not found Benjamin's birth, which I was expecting to be 1829.  John and Isabella's marriage in Liverpool in 1831 seems a bit 'late'.  However, John is named a mariner in the banns; that might account for him becoming a pilot in Tasmania.

Her name is recorded as 'Salome' when her children were born and seems more likely to be correct than her baptism.

They were married in Victoria in 1853.

Not sure whether you have searched Trove yet, there is also this article which mentions John SCOTT as a pilot in 1838
