Should add that Grandpa Robert Scott was born in 1881 and died aged 83 in 1964, so was he the eldest?  We actually lived with him in the house in Blantyre where my mother was born, so we heard lots of family stories...but not many about the Scott background.  We knew that Grandpa Scott had step-siblings and I knew some of them as a wee girl (they lived in Ashgill, nr Larkhall).  His mother was never mentioned, and it was only when a relative did a bit of digging some years ago that we found out she was called Mary Mullen (Co Monaghan?)

You have dozens of cousins out here!  Grandpa Scott had 8 of a family, and I have 20-odd cousins, though some have passed away.  I am in touch with many Scotts; some in Scotland, and some in Australia (one was an Australian MP until he retired).

Hello!  I certainly remember hearing of Auntie Maggie and Auntie Jeanie - in fact, my mother was called Jeanie (Scott) after Grandpa's sister.  Once I have made another post or two, I can send you a private message.  Not sure if I'm allowed to give out my email address here?

I've only just joined Rootschat, but my Grandfather (also Robert Scott) was the son of Mary Mullen and Robert Scott.  If you want to PM me, please do - I haven't made enough posts to contact you directly yet!
