SCOTT - help needed please.

[Tiffaney]

Hi all.  Arriving at Kirkwall recently I have discovered Scotts are amongst my ancestors on the Orkney Islands.

My Anne Scott married a Peace (John??) on Stronsay.  She may have come from another Island close by.  This would be in 1800's.

Am hoping one of our members may be connected to the Scott families so I can make some headway.

Many thanks,
Tiffaney

Have found a little more on Anne SCOTT.

to recap:

Anne SCOTT from Dishes, Stronsay, Orkney, married John PEACE of Stronsay Orkney.

Their children were:
David Peace chr. unknown
John Peace chr. 30 Oct 1814
Barbara Peace chr. 18 May 1817
Elspet Peace chr 30 June 1820
William Peace chr 31 Aug 1823
Margaret Peace chr. 3 Sep 1826.

Would anyone know who Anne Scott's parents were please & anymore about her children.

Thankyou
Tiffaney

Hi again

You might have this but this looks like the family in 1841

Disher, Stronsay - Parish 31 ED 1 Page 1

John Peace, 70, farmer
Ann, 45
David, 25
John, 20
Barbra,15
Betsy,14
Margaret, 10

all b. Orkney

Note that the 1841 grouped people over 15 into 5 year age groups, rounding down to the neares 5 or 0 - 15 = 15-19; 20=20-24, etc.

Have you managed to find her in later censuses? I've had a look because she should be there 1851-1871 but nothing obvious.

Feel very fortunate for all your lookups Gadget.  Would be thrilled with anything else you may come up with.

No..... I haven't got the 1841.  That certainly appears to be the family....great.

Have some research I did in Kirkwall in Christchurch  NZ (posted) ,so will have to check on what I found.  Was researching mainly Shearers and Peace & then started on Scott when I found the connection...hadn't found much on them..time ran out.

Thank you very much for your e-mail..splendid....
Just going to look in at your web site....sounds as tho' we both love the stories about our ancestors lives...

Many thanks for all you're doing...having an exciting day thanks to you.

regards,

Got a little more for you. Not Ann's baptism but two of her siblings:

Bpts to children of William Scott and Barbara Craigie Parish of Sanday (Lady, Cross and Burness)

9 July 1779 Margaret
24 Feb 1782 John

I'm sure I found an Ann Peace with that birth place earlier on one of the censuses.

Fantastic news Gadget.....fab to have.  Isn't this my lucky day. Yippee!!
I'm over the moon with all your findings.

If you need me to do any lookups for you in New Zealand...please ask away.

from a delighted Kiwi with thanks,
Tiff

A pleasure, Tiff 


I'll have another look later to see if there's anything else lurking around for them.


I don't think I have any links to New Zealand. I'm very fond of your wine though 

(Please this is a joke not a request  )
