Glamorganshire / Re: William Jones and daughter Sarah

What an interesting story re Robert Dodds Scott and wife Dinah and I thank you for that.
When I was researching the Scott side in order to arrive at when Sarah appeared on the scene, at the time I wondered about Dina and who her parents were, were they born in Merthyr etc etc but I could never come up with anything.
When you say you have photographs, do you happen to have a photo of John Scott and one day it would be a miracle to find a photo of Sarah. My mother's sister when she died amongst her personal things were photos. Just a few of them were studio photographs with no names attached. I know they are not on the Rees side and I wondered if one or two of them are photographs of the Scott's family who would have been known by my gt grandparents/grandparents who also lived in Merthyr and who were running the Narrow Gauge Inn at the same time as the Scotts were running their watering holes in Llanfabon, Troedyrhiw and places. Whenever I look at a photo of my grandfather John William Rees standing outside the Narrow Gauge with son and daughter, I often wonder who the people were also included in the photo and if one of them could be one of the Scott's. They were living quite close with the George Scott who was running the Gt Western on the High Street in 1901. So sad that John Scott died so young leaving Sarah with a big family. As you probably already know through other contacts on the Scott side, William Scott (born abt 1835) was in the American Civil War. He took part in the Battle of Gettysburg. Sadly, he was killed at Smithfield, Virginia on 29 August 1864.
With regard to George Scott, there has been a query that has been lying in my pending tray for simply ages and that is, do you know if he had been married before he married Mary.
If there is a photo you my care to share please let me know and you can email me it or them. If you would like to take a look at the photo of John and Sarah's son (John William Rees) taken outside the Narrow Gauge or one of two of the unnamed photos (mentioned above) then please let me know and I will email them to you. As I said, there are only just a few of these photos. You never know, we could come up with a successful a'recognition' hit.
Good luck with tracing even further back on the Scott's side. I only know that Robert D Scott was born in Ancrum, Rosburgh in 1802 and that Dina was born in Merthyr in 1801. Nothing earlier than that.
Regards
