Title: George W Scott
Post by: phylscot on Saturday 13 March 10 13:41 GMT (UK)
I'm looking for he family of George Scott who was born in liverpool around 1900.  He lied about his age and enlisted in Kings Lpool Reg in 1914, came back to work for United Molasses - working his way up from office boy to Company director.  His son, also George followed in his footsteps.  they were my father's cousins, and I m trying to find any family information.

Brilliant.  I knew he had the CBE.  I have a book about United Molasses which tells about it but I didn't have the dates.

Hello Phyl,
I think some clarification is necessary, George W Scott, had three children James, George and Joyce
James had two children with his first wife, (*) and subsequently 2 children with his second wife,(*).
George Scott, my father had three children, (*)

I have many papers written by George Scott Snr when working for the United Molasses Company

Best wishes

Michael Scott
