It would help if people stop bagging each other but instead supplied useful information. This platform is not for emotions but for helping each other understanding and suppyling links if they exist. If you need a platform to elevate yourself try Twitter.  All the Irish I have been in contact with have uttered these sayings. It wuld be nice if someone nice added..If you check this site ot that link you can find more useful information.and I note no males adding opinions.

Thanks Mandy Thursday. this site is very new to me and appreciate all the wonderful people on here who are helping me. It is rewarding to know that kind people still exists.
I probably need direction to show me how to add Scott to Surname interest.

Registration of births only started 1895 in South Africa. Prior to that everone used a baptism certificate to prove date of birth.

My ggf Henry William Scott (1869) in Grahamstown. He was born, married and buried Roman Catholic.Churches he attended St Saviour Claremont- daughter Katrina got married their.
St Michael Claremont - his 2nd marriage took place their to surname Henry.
I have contacted the Roman Catholic Church but they were unable to locate his baptism record.
The number of Roman Catholic churches in Grahamstown in 1869 could not be many. St Patrick Grahamstown was contacted to obtain the record but they told me to check the Cory library.I live in Australia and prior in Scotland so not east with covid still lurking.
His first marriage to Annie Scott b Edwards I have not located as yet.
 On his death notice his parents are Henry William Scott and mother Annie Scott.(no maiden name given).
