Hi,
I am trying to find if James Robert Scott b1842, son of James Randall Scott 1817-1870 and his wife Ann nee Mason, ever married and had children. I think I have found his death on IGI, aged 77 James R. Scott b1842, died 1914 West Derby Lancashire. We are trying to find a surviving male Scott for DNA reasons, and we're getting desperate. With so many 'James Scott's from Lanc, we are not making much progress.
Thank you for any help.

I think you're looking for a needle in a haystack?
For instance, there are 5 James Scott born in Liverpool in 1842, with also a James Robert Scott registered in West Derby.
There are records on Ancestry, for Masters and Mates Certificates, for James Robert Scott, dated 1860.
If he was a mariner, he may be difficult to pin down?

James Randall Scott married Anne Mason at St Phillip ,Liverpool.
looking on IGI
there is only one James Scott - father James marriage that fits the timeframe - but - they could have moved to Liverpool as late as 1872 ??
anyway
James Scott to Fanny Modsley Wright at Holy Trinity church,Liverpool 26th January 1873 .
fathers
James Scott
William Wright
maybe see if James and Fanny had a son named Randall ??
it certainly is a long shot - but you never know :)

The online GRO index shows that the 1914 death reg in West Derby was of James Richard Scott, aged 72.

Thank you all for your help. With so many 'James Scotts' I think that my search will be just an elimination project! Thanks KGarrad for this gem, as I know that James Robert's father was a Master Mariner. A good start. Cheers. Rap

Have you traced him on census if so when do you last have him and where
-
Thanks Rosie99. I can find James with his known family in the 1851 Census where he is a young boy. By the 1861 Census he would be about 18 and not easily identifiable, so I will visit the library and search Ancestry again I think. Thanks for all of your help. Rap
