I'm trying to trace descendents of Foster Scott who emigrated from County Cavan, Ireland, to Ontario in the 1850s. He was my father's great uncle. I know that he had 10 children and was a farmer. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Foster Scott born abt 1842 Cavan Co Irreland and aged 73 years. Passed away 6 January 1915 - Durham Ontario. Widower - father George Scott Mother Win. Informant T Scott.
Perhaps you could let us know if this is your family before we carry on.

Thank you, that is the correct family. Foster is quite an uncommon christian name for a Cavan man. I am hoping to trace some of the surviving descendents. My branch of the Scott family tend to reuse the same christian names - Thomas, William and George, so I'm hoping that might help somewhat

The last census in Canada was 1921 - there is no BMD index - privacy laws are quite strict and vary province to province. So researching can be quite difficult.
Daughter Sarah Ann Scott born 1861 Ontario passed away 31 December 1932 - informant Addie Scott. Father Foster Sctt - Mother Fanny Scott - Burial Bowman Cemetery.

Thank you Sandra, so much information! Foster and Fanny originally settled in Manvers and it appears that some of the family remained there. That may help to trace the modern day Scott relatives.
