Can anyone help me find out if Roland Scott boarded his ship to Australia with any wife or family or did he marry in Australia ? Roland was born in 1907 with his Twin Ada Kathleen Scott around East Riding. He emigrated to Australia in 1949 and his Family still live there.
Thanks
Katy

Hi Katy,

You say he has family still living here, are you in contact with them at all?

There is this birth in NSW :-\

Victoria
SCOTT Edith Leura Street, Camperdown Home duties
SCOTT Roland Leura Street, Camperdown Manager
There is another Roland SCOTT enrolled in 1954 in Victoria but this person is also enrolled in 1930 as the same address as a Robert SCOTT. Perhaps he is the 1984 death in Victoria.

Hi,
Roland Scott born 1905 in Albury gives his NOK as Edith in his WW2 files at the National Archives this would seem to match him with the couple in 1954 in Camperdown Victoria.
Perhaps he is the 1984 death but the mothers names don't seem to agree.

and
SCOTT Roland
Father Robert Mother Isabella Lawson

modified to add
Robert Henry Scott b Nth MELB m Isabella Golding 1908 #9577 (possible but surname is different)
Robert William Scott b ELAINE m Bessie Robinson in 1906 #5068
So two different families it would seem and both were born in Australia
The only Roland Scott marriages in NSW and Victoria are prior to 1941

I apologise MissKaty as we are going off at tangents but are trying to eliminate the Roland SCOTT's on the indexes.
It really has nothing to do with the original request but I think there has been some confusion with the parents of the Roland SCOTT who died in 1984. I think the wrong mother has been listed as look at this birth, probably of Robert his father.
SCOTT Robert
Father Robert Mother Isabella Lawson MACKIE
At Boroondara 1867 Reg#22223
Deaths
SCOTT Robert
Father Scott Robert Mother Isabel Lawson Machie MACKIE
At Caulfield 81 years 1948 Reg#2544
SCOTT Isabella Lawson
Father Mackie Alex Mother Elizabeth LAWSON
78 years at Chiltern 1906 Reg#4874
Isabella Lawson SCOTT could not be the mother of Roland b.c1906. Probably his grandmother.
MissKay there is a facility to request a lookup of the Roland SCOTT death in Sydney in 1993 on the home page of the Ryerson Index. The link given by Sue. Either a copy of the notice or a transcript is emailed to you. All lookups done by volunteers.
Hopefully it may be the Roland SCOTT you are seeking.

I'm so so so sorry I forgot to tell you the Parents of him. His parents were Annie Haliday and Joseph T SCOTT
-
That's OK...we were really trying to eliminate the ones on the indexes. I would suggest you request a copy of the 1993 death notice from the Ryerson Index. Seems to be the only lead at this stage ;D

Re the NSW Electoral Roll details given by Cando:
Australian Electoral Rolls
1954
NSW
SCOTT Gwendoline Mabel 343 Ernest Street, North Sydney Home duties
SCOTT Roland 343 Ernest Street, North Sydney Shopkeeper
There was a marriage in the June Qtr 1930, district Leeds South, between a Roland SCOTT, and Gwendoline M. ATKINSON http://freebmd.rootsweb.com/cgi/search.pl
There are lots of births registered after 1930 for the surname SCOTT with mother's surname as ATKINSON, but only one also registered at Leeds South - Sep Qtr 1931, Brian SCOTT.

May 14, 1984
SCOTT Roland (Bob) from the Ashburton and District Senior Citizens Club

SCOTT, Roland, May 20, 1993, late of Wyoming and Oatlands, husband of Gwen, father and f-i-law of Brian and Denny, grandfather of David, Brad, Nick, and Anne, loved pop of their families. Private cremation.
Unfortunately the notices for both of these don't give an age so not much help for you!

Hi,
It seems, by the obituary for the man in NSW Judith has so kindly provided, that there was only one child to the couple GWEN and ROLAND.
A search of the NSW BDM index will show some information on the 2 people to whom he was father and father -in law.
It seems that the girl grandchild of this ROLAND was named ANNE and I do note this was the name of ROLAND's mother provided by Miss Katy.

He emigrated to Australia in 1949 and his Family still live there. MISSKATY
Hope Miss Katy sees the above information soon.
Perhaps she will be able to recognise some of the names of "his family" which have been found {or not ??? of course}
