The Scotts of Bowling, Glasgow of ship building fame.
« on: Thursday 25 April 24 09:45 BST (UK) »

I would be most grateful, if someone could throw some light and hopefully details on this Clydeside family.
I am sorry but what I have to date is a bit sketchy, but hopefully there might be those who has access to past obituaries, that could start to fill in some of the blanks of this family please:

James Scott 1820-1889
A partnership was formed in 1892 between James Scott and his two sons, Charles Wood Scott 1858-1931 and James Scott Junior 1860-1950 , the firms name was changed again to Scott and Sons.
James Wood Scott 1894-1915/7
James Scott Junior 1860-1950 son Charles and his nephew James carried on the partnership after James Scott died in 1950.
Charles Scott and his brother William Scott became directors when James Scott retired in 1958.

I'm not entirely clear what information you are after. There is this death notice from 1903:

"BOWLING SHIPBUILDER DEAD - Mr James Scott, the head of the well known firm of ship builders at Bowling, died yesterday in his 73rd year."
Wednesday,  Oct. 14, 1903
Publication: Edinburgh Evening News

So I'm assuming this is his death on Scotlands People:

James SCOTT aged 72, mother's maiden name WATSON 1903 (501 / 282)   Old or West Kilpatrick

There are a few James SCOTT born 1830-1832 with mmn WATSON, but this one looks likely:

James SCOTT baptised 3 Jan 1831  (501 40 / 133) parents James SCOTT and Agnes WATSON at Old or West Kilpatrick.

James SCOTT married Agnes WATSON 7 Sept 1811 at Old or West Kilpatrick (501 30 / 165).
