... yes, just when you can view the death certificate, please let us know if Thomas (1862) was around in 1925.

Hi Lu,

This John that died in 1925 was John junior...half brother to Thomas...just so you know :)
John senior that died in 1895 was father to both.

Thanks, Kate

Of note...inquest into death of Alexander Henry Scott

https://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/newspapers/NZMAIL18960213.2.135.5

Hi

The drowned man appears to be "Alexander Henry Scott MAIN"  ... also referred to later in the article as "Mr MAIN."

However on checking the NZ Death index, he is listed as "Alexander Henry SCOTT - 42 years - died on 29 January 1896 (has same death date as the Mr MAIN).

But ... here is his funeral notice >


https://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/newspapers/EP18960205.2.48.5

... Alexander Henry Scott MAIN

[There were also two In Memoriam notices (surname MAIN) placed in 1897 and 1898 ... as well as an earlier death notice which said he was from Arbroath, Scotland. ]

Edited to correct spelling.

John senior that died in 1895 was father to both.

Thanks, Kate

Thanks Kate ... yes the year should have been 1895 - John senior's death certificate.     {Long and involved thread ... difficult to remember exactly who's who.)  ;D

Totally understand that Lu...it can get very confusing!  ;)

To go back to Alexander Henry Scott MAIN...thanks for the info.  After looking at it further I'm wondering if in fact this was not Elizabeth Millar Scott's husband...

Alexander Henry Scott MAIN married Mary O'Connell in 1878 according to BDM. Had one child, John Alexander, in 1878, that I can find.

So I wonder if this Henry Alexander SCOTT that died in 1919 age 65 was in fact the right one...

 If you have a look at the Police gazettes through ancestry  up to 1894  a Henry Alexander scott is there for wife desertion on various accounts and different years 1893 being unable to provide for his wife and infant, so was this Isabella Millar Scott that was born 1889? according to one of these reports 1893 he was 39 which makes his birth abt 1854 the same as the 1919 Death thanks lnr

Yes, death cert for John senior in 1895 states 2 sons ages 33 years and 35 years, 1 daughter age 38 years. (note it does not include his estranged eldest son John here)

I also have his wife Isabella death cert in 1908 which states 3 sons, ages 48, 45 and 29, and 1 daughter aged 51. The younger son, aged 29...not on John's death cert and I have my suspicions about whether he was actually John's son, or even Isabella's for that matter...but that's another matter.

Thanks,
Kate

Hi seaflowers

Well I didn't ever suggest for one moment, that it was her husband.   It was you who gave the link to the 1896 death of Alexander Henry Scott MAIN -not me !

I was always quite certain that it was the wrong person, hence digging deeper for more info to set the record straight.   

And some further information >

Death notice :  Alexander MAIN
https://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/newspapers/EP18960201.2.10

Alexander MAIN -  was a Mechanical engineer and Secretary of the Amalgamated Society of Engineers ...
https://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/newspapers/PBH18960130.2.18

All that information is freely available on the PapersPast website where your link also came from.

Not at all sure why you would connect this man with Elizabeth Millar SCOTT ... whose husband is given on the NZ marriage Index as simply, Henry SCOTT.
