Title: LAMONT Family
Post by: squirejay on Thursday 28 January 21 18:33 GMT (UK)

Can anyone help give me information concerning the children of John Lamont, b 1847 in Edinburgh and Sydney Scott, born 27 mar 1853 at Ladykirk in Berwickshire, who died in Dollar, Clackmannanshire on 29 Jan 1940.
They had three daughters, as far as I can establish, Mary Robson LAMONT b at Ladykirk on 18 Jan 1872, Helen Waldie] LAMONT, b 21 Feb 1876 in Edinburgh as was Alexandria Lamont on 14th Jan 1878, but who died from Scarlet Fever on 30 Jul 1881 in Penicuik. No trace after the 1881 census till the death of Sydney in 1940.
ROBSON and WALDIE are both family names, being Maternal and Paternal Grandmother's maiden names.
Any guidance on whererto look would be appreciated

According to a tree on Ancestry daughter Helen married in Massachusetts 1897 -  George A Crafts

Quite tragic - 7 children born who all died as infants & husband died 1908

Another tree shows daughter Mary Robson Lamont married Alfred Sylvester Moody & died 1948 Massachusetts

May be an idea to contact the tree owners

Try FamilySearch for USA immigration records.

Or the Liberty Ellis Foundation https://www.statueofliberty.org/discover/passenger-ship-search/
