James Scott, ESQ., born about 1800 in Omagh, Tyrone.  - married Ellen Scott,  February 28 1832 (Yesterday morning, by the Rev Wm. Mulligan, MR JAMES SCOTT, of Omagh, to ELLEN, second daughter of the late MR JOHN SCOTT, of this town [Strabane] March 3 1832 On Monday morning, in Strabane, by the Rev. William Mulligan, JAMES SCOTT, ESQ)

Both have the Scott surname but I have yet to find thier ancestors or if they are at all related. Here is the info which I have found, please feel free to tell me if anything is incorrect

James Scott, ESQ. born about 1800 in Omagh, I have no parents nor siblings. In 1864 his occupations was listed as Linen & Woollen Drapers.

Ellen Scott was born about 1805 in Strabane. She was the daughter of John Scott born about 1770 and his wife, Elizabeth (surname unknown) who was born I'm guessing about 1776? From the records I've found, it appears that John & Elizabeth also had another daughter named, Eliza Scott sister of Ellen Scott.

John Scott died in Strabane, March 9 1830 On Sunday evening last, MR JOHN SCOTT, of this town, Merchant, after a severe and protracted illness, regretted by a numerous and extensive circle of acquaintances, leaving a widow and numerous family to deplore his loss

Elizabeth died Dec 28, 1852 at Ramelton [Co Donegal]

James Scott, ESQ. & Ellen Scott, I have just the one daughter, Isabella Scott born abt. 1830. She married James Campbell at Donagheady First Presbyterian;; ChurchGroom's Name: James Campbell Groom's Birth Date: Groom's Birthplace: Groom's Age: Bride's Name: Isabella Scott Bride's Birth Date: 1830 Bride's Birthplace: Bride's Age: 19 Marriage Date: 13 Nov 1849 Marria

I have more on James Campbell & Isabella Scott on the Donagheady Parish message board under "Campbell - Scott"

 

I am trying to find all the Scott family ancestors.

  • Hi there,

    You mention: James Scott, ESQ. born about 1800 in Omagh, I have no parents nor siblings. In 1864 his occupations was listed as Linen & Woollen Drapers.

    You could try looking at the 1856 Slater, Royal National Commercial Directory of Ireland (National Library of Ireland), or the 165 R. Wynne, Business Directory of Belfast,  (National Library of Ireland, Ir. 91411 b 2). There is also another directory which covers many years during this period (from 1854) called Belfast and Province of Ulster Directory.

    Could you please post your message here (for Strabane): http://www.irelandxo.com/group/leckpatrick-tyrone

    And here (for Ramelton): http://www.irelandxo.com/group/aughnish-donegal

    Please make sure you link anyone else in your family who is interested in their Irish heritage to our site - and indeed anyone else you know of Irish heritage.

    Kind regards,

  • Thank you Sinead Cooney,

     I added the posting to both paces you suggested. As for the suggestions on where to look, do you have any links to free sites? The one I found wants EURO 7 to show any results and then it looks like it just tells me how many households in each area with the Scott surname.

  • Hi there,

    There are some free websites available, but these are usually only for particular sources. For example, the census records:

    http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/search/

    Griffith's Valuation: www.askaboutireland.com

    This one covers many areas too: http://www.failteromhat.com/

    I hope this is of some help to you.

    Kind regards,

    Sinead Cooney
