My mother Mary Elliot Oliver (Scott) was the daughter of John Elliot Scott born in Dundee who was  son of William Scott, Solicitor in Dundee. To the best of my knowledge he was not a WS - happy to provide further information about him if necessary.

South Africa / Re: Gideon William Pott

Not sure if this is of any help but there is a large Pott family in Roxburghshire, Scotland and the Christian name Gideon was inherited through a number of generations up to the 1950s. My Great Grandfathermarried a Pott and my late aunt who died at 103 had Pott as her middle name. I am also aware there were Potts in Moffat, Dumfriesshire who had a strong S Africa connection. All Farming families.
