Unfortunately the Wallsend records for c.1800 seem to be missing from the Bishops Transcripts.
This is a great shame because if there was a baptism at that time it would have been a Shute Barrington entry which would not only have given the names of the parents but also the parishes in which they were born

John Scott born Oct. 1801

How do you know he was born October 1801?

in this you give date of birth between 1796 and 1803, and birth place probably Longbenton, rather than what you've stated on here (birth October 1801 in Wallsend)

Jen -

After much researching (I found various John Scott's born to 3/4 different sets of parents) I have concluded through census records that he was born in 1801.  One Ancestry.com family tree showed October 1801, so I am going with that until I can prove otherwise and his parents were shown as John Scott and Ann Gray/Grey. 

  Also found this:
England, Select Births and Christenings, 1538-1975 John Scott born Oct 1 1801 to John Scott and Ann Gray/Grey and baptised in Wallsend on Nov 22 1801.  To date I have these parents as his, but no further confirmation from any other records (marriage for example). Which would prove his parents were indeed John and Ann Gray/Grey.

Neither census give birth place as Wallsend

Yes, I know the census did not mention Wallsend.  Perhaps the family member who gave the information did not know?  My source is:

England, Select Births and Christenings, 1538-1975

Gender Male
Birth Date 01 Oct 1801
Baptism Date 22 Nov 1801
Baptism Place Wallsend,Northumberland,England

Possibly 

Or equally possibly your John Scott did know where he was born, and the person you have settled on is from a totally different family? Scott is not an uncommon name.
