Family History Beginners Board / Re: Thomas Scott - Auctioneer
« on: Saturday 12 March 11 04:28 GMT (UK)  »
Hello,
Re Thomas Scott, I know he was born and married in Lanark. I am trying to find out more about his time as an Auctioneer in the Bury area.Did he work with other members of family and who started "Scott Real Estate" that is still going in the Manchester area.  He returned to Scotland with his family in the early 1900's, don't know what year.

Hello,
I have not been online for a while, do you know when Andrew and Tom Carruthers came to New Zealand and when they died. Does Andrew still live in Central Otago. What relation are they to William Scott and Mary Hay.
I am also trying to trace Mary Scott widow of Tom and Willie Tom's brother who I believe are in Bury, Lancashire. Tom and Willie would be the gggrandsons of Mary Lawson and Thomas Scott.

Thankyou Elizabeth

Thankyou Ken.  It explains something I have wondered about for a long time, why my Grandfather - Thomas Scott - and his family moved to Bury, Manchester to farm. It now opens up another side of the family I did not know anything about. Would be interested in further information about this family.


Elizabeth.

Welcome to Rootschat! Mary Lawson was my wife's ggggrandmother and was related when the son William moved down to farm in Bury, Lancashire. I have Mary's birth as 1806, but this may be 4 years later.

Hello, My Grandfather Thomas Scott 3rd son of William Scott and Agnes Meikle. Went to the Bury, Manchester area in the mid 1880's. I believe to farm and was told to work as an Auctioneer. I have not been able to find any info on the company. I know he lived on at least 2 farms in the area. Can anyone help with information.
Thankyou Elizabeth
