Henry William Scott b 1869 Grahamstown - Roman Catholic...anyone related
« on: Thursday 14 April 22 02:58 BST (UK) »
My ggf Henry William Scott (1869) in Grahamstown. He was born, married and buried Roman Catholic.Churches he attended St Saviour Claremont- daughter Katrina got married their.
St Michael Claremont - his 2nd marriage took place their to surname Henry.
I have contacted the Roman Catholic Church but they were unable to locate his baptism record.
The number of Roman Catholic churches in Grahamstown in 1869 could not be many. St Patrick Grahamstown was contacted to obtain the record but they told me to check the Cory library.I live in Australia and prior in Scotland so not east with covid still lurking.
His first marriage to Annie Scott b Edwards I have not located as yet.
 On his death notice his parents are Henry William Scott and mother Annie Scott.(no maiden name given).
I have been told he is connected to the famous harpoonist Tom Scott which could be Thomas Scott who arrived

This is Henry William Scott's second marriage. His first marriage was to Annie Edwards.

Henry William Scott's birth year is consistent.
On his death notice Claremont Cape Town South Africa it states b 1869;
on his 2nd marriage certificate in the Roman Catholic Church, St Michael Claremont Cape Town South Africa it states b 1869.
Henry William Scott - death certificate.

One of his children's death certificate.

What I cannot find is Henry William Scott b 1869 marriage to Annie Edwards b 1870
and Henry William Scott baptism 1869 with father Henry William Scott and Annie Scott in GRahamstown.

Henry William Scott's mother was Annie Scott and his wife was Annie Scott b Edwards.

Thanking everyone in advance.

Must be a Good Friday blessing

Just found Henry William Scott marriage to Annie Edwards.

https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CSJG-RSW1-G?cc=2821281

Can see why I could never find it as his name is totally mispelt as Henry Seatt.

All I can add is it is a blessing to have found it.

Now all I need to find is his baptism in the Roman Catholic church Grahamstown to reserch the family further.

I asked a moderator to move the topic to the South Africa board.
Have you added Scott to the Surname Interests list and checked for any similar families? It's under "Your Tools" at the foot of the page.
It's still Maundy Thursday here (BST).
