Parents for Phillip John SCOTT

[Cienna]

Looking for parents for Philip John SCOTT....also known as James BUTLER could be Qld or Forbes, N.S.W.

His mother is believed to be Laura MITCHELL....father unknown.

A death for him would also be helpful.

Thank you

Cienna.

Hey, do you have anything that confirms that Laura Mitchell is his mother? And what date range would he have been born in?

Is this the Phillip John SCOTT you mean - born 14 Oct 1917, of Forbes but enlisted in Queensland according to his attestation.

Most likely this marriage:
Phillip John SCOTT and Louisa Florence FAULKNER 27 April 1940 in Queensland (1940/B/39119).

HIs wife's address on his attestation is c/0 Mrs FAULKNER.

This marriage certificate should contain his birthplace, parent's names, father's occupation etc.

Find-a-Grave has this death - the birth date doesn't fit exactly but if the man shown here is 78 in July 1996, his birthdate could be October 1917 as he would turn 78 in 1995 and still be 78 inJuly 1996 (if that makes sense!). This site has a photo of his headstone.
