I am trying to figure out the parents of John Scott born between 1796 and 1803 in Northumberland, probably the Longbenton area. He married Frances Moor (parents Thomas Moor and Margaret Blakey) on Aug 2, 1828 at All Saints Church in Newcastle. Since parents names were not inlcuded in the marriage document (or where they?) I am having difficulty with his parents names.
There are three or four family trees uploaded to Ancestry.com that show him with different sets of parents; William Scott/Mary Ord, Thomas Scott/Ann Gills and John Scott/Hannah Scott. If anyone is researching this family or has access to records that may clarify the parents, I would greatly appreciate the help. I have John and Frances in the census from 1841-1871 with their children. I believe John may have died in July 1870 as Frances is shown as a widow in the 1871 census. Their children were; Thomas b. 1828, Eleanor b. 1831, William b. 1834, Robert b. 1836, Joseph b. 1838 an Margaret b. 1841.
Thank you,
