Reverend Walter Scott
« on: Thursday 24 February 11 18:53 GMT (UK) »
Dear all,

The Reverend Walter Scott is remembered in a large family tomb near Bonybridge in Stirlingshire, Scotland.

The MI states that he died in Canada in 1870 at the age of 50yrs and the elderly owner of the land where the tomb exists recalls visitors from Canada coming to look at it many years ago.

I am wondering whether anyone might know anything about the Rev Scott i.e. what part of Canada he died in and whether he had any family in Canada.

I would be grateful for any assistance with this enquiry.

 :)

You're welcome.  I forgot about the cemetery project and after I found your fellow, I tried looking for my ancestors.  They aren't listed yet, but in time, perhaps they will be listed.

Again, the best of luck with your search.  If we may help with other questions, please let us know.
