Looks like the family info on Mary Sutherland Scott could be incorrect.

If I was you I would be getting her Birth Cert;

Mary Sutherland SCOTT
March 1882
Berwick 10b 370

I really feel for you in the heat wave. I hope that there are no major bushfires in the next few days.

Cheers,
Trish

Very late to the party on this! I come in via the Nelson connection - my g/g/g/f was a John Lumsden NELSON (b. 16 Mar 1833 d.15 Feb 1891) who was a comb factory manager in Aberdeen - he is Helen Nelsons' (who married William Scott) brother.

Their father Robert Nelson was a combmaker who died of a fever in Edinburgh on 13 Apr 1839, after which time his widow Elizabeth (nee Lumsden) and sons John and Robert move to Aberdeen.

Never got further on Nelson. Only other clue was on his parish marriage record from 28 Apr 1825 (canongate, Edinburgh)

On his marriage record, he is recorded as living at 281 High St., Canongate. The wedding was certified by a Joseph Nelson, combmaker of Coul's Close, possibly his father as Robert was a minor at this point, and a Robert Watt.
Aberdeenshire: Nelson, Middleton, Dow, McLennan, Hendry
Ross & Cromarty: McLennan, Macaulay
Midlothian: Nelson, Lumsden
Berwickshire: Lumsden, Melrose
Stirlingshire: Dick
West Lothian/Lanark: Wark
West Yorkshire: Wormald, Cooper, Snowden, Sykes (all Drighlington/Adwalton), Thackeray (Tong)
Warwickshire: Payne (Coleshill/Solihull), Forshaw (Coleshill), Drakeford (Coleshill)
Somerset: Quartley
NZ: Thompson (Dunedin)
