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.

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

Thank you! Yes, Benjamin was John's first child, born in England.
In what context was Frederick William reported, please? Wedding or funeral?

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. They seem to have had two children there and five at Launceston, where he was noted as a pilot. Isabella, a pilot's wife, appears to have drowned at Longford, just south of Launceston, om 07/01/1849. That would fit the article ... except it is written after her death!
As noted above, he remarried in 1851 and had a further four children.

Australia / SCOTT in George Town, Launceston, Tasmania 1800-1861

Hi there
I'm interested in any information on John SCOTT, b. 1806 (place?), married Anne JEFFRIES at George Town in 1851, had four children (Walter, Frances, Alfred & Frederick, whose birth dates I have), and died 1861 at Launceston.
John began as a pilot on the R Tamar about 1828 and became Senior Pilot about 1856 until his death in 1861. 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.
Can anyone find John's birth or entry into Australia? Or anything of relevance, please?

Amazing! Thank you, ciderdrinker.
Sadly nothing to connect the Hills to the Coles. I'll keep digging.
