Hi all
have hit a brick wall with the above John Scott.
Born Feb 1849, Crail, Fife.
Parents Thomas Scott, Catherine Gay
Wife Jane Ann Taylor, born Oct 1849 also Crail. Parents James Taylor and Christian Gay.
Married 15 Jan 1874, Crail, Fife. Place of residence on MC and 1871 census is 54 Oxford St, Glasgow. Shown as a shopkeeper, druggist No trace after that
Jane Ann is in Shoregate, Crail with her mother in 1901 (widow) and dies 13 April 1904 in Stanley, Perthshire also home of her mother. No trace between 1874 and 1901
can anyone help with the family between 1874 and 1901??

That was the census I saw...also on 1891 there is a Jane A Scott Domestic servant born Crail abt 1852 in Newington Edinburgh

Yes seen that one also in 1891 Edinburgh noticed her probate in 1904 her sister is mentioned as her next of kin

There is a John Gladstone Scott 29 dies in 1878 in Ruthwell might be worth a look as looks like he was a druggist according to the wills and testaments on SP
-
Thanks very much Rosie and Higgsy. I will follow these up. The Newington census shows her as Widowed.

Thanks again to both Higgsy and Rosie, I very much appreciate the help that you lovely people give on Rootschat. Yes very sad to lose first of all a husband and then your son in such a short space of time. Jane never remarried.
