Hi scottiem15

Welcome to Rootschat 

Firstly we need to establish your lineage....How do you know you are related?

Have you found any of your relations in the censuses?

Do you know your grandparents/great grandparents names?

If you can provide us with some details we may be able to follow the trail backwards.

hi krissy, i know it is a long time since you were looking at scott of the antarctic, i have recently found some information recorded by my grandmother. my great grandmother was annie scott who was married to edward clarkson wilson. my mum's godparents were arthur edward wilson and edna may scott thorburn. i know i am related to scott and suspect to edward adrian wilson too. i wonder if you could help as i am new to this but very interested?

hi scottiem, i am also researching my relationship to Captain Robert Falcon Scott. my family have always told me we are related and there are both Scott's and Wilson's in my family through my  maternal great grandparents. i would be happy to share any information with you. perhaps we could work together on this?

Hi Rachel

Welcome to Rootschat!    It's been a long time since we worked on the Scotts.

I have found this:

Birth Reg
Edward Clarkson Wilson
mar q 1871
Tynemouth, Northumberland
Vol 10b Pg 187

then this marriage:
Edward Clarkson Wilson = Annie Scott
jun q  1900
Toxteth Park, Lancashire
Vol 8b pg

in 1901 Edward and Annie are living with her Scott family headed by John Scott, 58, Master mariner b New Brunswick.

How far have you followed them back?

Hi deb

thanks so much for your help.  i must confess i have wanted to trace my family tree for years but when i'm working i never find the time and when not working just as busy trying to find a job lol!

i found a baby book for my mum which contained a family history page. this is what has given me the enthusiasm. the trouble is i don't really know where to start. i have found the  birth, marriage and death dates for Robert Falcon Scott and his wife Kathleen I know Robert and Kathleen had one child, how would i find out the details for their child?  i suppose the next step is to find parents, siblings and children of John Scott.

i am also interested in the possible link to Edward Adrian Wilson, Scott's friend and companion on the expedition. it seems such a coincidence that i have known relatives Edward Clarkson Wilson and Annie Scott by marriage doesn't it? i was also told we were related to Scott by my family several times as i was growing up.

if you have any further advice for me it will be gratefully received.

Hi Anne

I think the first thing to do is establish your family line and then try to link it to Robert Falcon Scott.

Robert F Scott was b 1869 in Devonport s/o John Edward and Hannah Scott. Both of his parents were born in Devon.  John Edward Scott (robert's dad) was b 1832 in Devonport. His parents were Robert Scott (b 1793 Devon)and Ann Meyers Scott.

Your line stems from a John Scott b 1843 in New Brunswick Canada.

Where do you think they link up? what have you heard?

I will post details of your family in my next post
