I don't think so. I thought he was born in lewes though I'm not currently on ancestry so I can't check my history. He was married to Julia and had William, Anthony, Grace, Daisy, Mabel (think that's right). He was a very successful horse trainer who had grand national and Paris steeplechase winners. The two boys were successful jockies although William died in Paris 1919 following an accident. Mabel married into the Jennings family and they have their own history.

Hi I am a direct descendant of Harry Escott, he would have been my great granddad.  His daughter Daisy married William George Horton and they were my father's parents, my grandparents.  Grace Escott was her sister and therefore my Great aunt too.  I did meet her on at least one occasion as a small child and I'm sure I have lots of photos of her and her husband and children.  My father and grandfather were both photographers.  I visited the Escott grave only yesterday in Lewes as it would have been my dad's 95th birthday, so I went to lay flowers.  I am new to this site but was doing a search as I do often for hits on the name.  My father was a very late started to parenthood and as such we are much younger by a good generation than we are expected to be, if that makes sense.  Perhaps we can swap notes?  There is also a connection to the Jennings family who are also to this day still involved with Horses and very well known
