Hi Alwynne, Are these Scotts related to Arthur Gideon Scott, born Shetland about 1822? He married Margaret Grant in geelong Parish in 1853. On the subject of Currie, do you have a Currie married Pearl Elaine Eveline LONG or CUNNINGHAM some time after 1915. Or Margaret CURRIE m Charles Frederick ALLISON in 1888. I also have Barbara May Siddle (sic) m Austin Reginals Keddell 1939. Kind regards, Sharon Long. ----- Original Message ----- From: "alwynne mackie" <alwynnem@melbpc.org.au> To: <AUS-VIC-GEELONG-DISTRICT-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, January 16, 2004 3:34 PM Subject: Re: [GEELONG] GRANT, TURNBULL, LAWLESS, BELL, SCOTT, LOUTTIT, SQUIRES > I have oodles of information on that family of Scotts.

I havent got the one you want, but John and James had lots of siblings, the eldest of whom was born in 1810. I have only tracked John and James, so it's possible that he's the son of one of the siblings. Shetland is close to Caithness, isn't it? This lot did a lot of travelling back and forth, too. As for the Curries, I have an Alfred Currie O'Shannassy, born Geelong 1865, and I am trying to find out where the Currie bit comes from. So I don't actually have anything on them, except that John Lang Currie was a leading citizen in Geelong at the time of the Scotts. The Siddle reference may be a connection, as the name spelling varies. Do you know whether or not she had any connections to Norfolk, England? I forgot to mention that Alexander Scott, father of John and James, probably had brothers, one of whom may be the grandfather of Arthur Gideon. Also, one of James' sons was called Thomas Turnbull Scott (1865-98), so there must be a Turnbull connection. There are also Turnbull connections with Bairds from Scotland/Geelong, with whom my family is connected. Cheers, Alwynne PS I was at school in Geelong with Loutitts - possibly yours - also a Bell. ----- Original Message ----- From: "N & S Long" <longfamily@ozemail.com.au> To: <AUS-VIC-GEELONG-DISTRICT-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, January 16, 2004 3:57 PM Subject: Re: [GEELONG] GRANT, TURNBULL, LAWLESS, BELL, SCOTT, LOUTTIT, SQUIRES > Hi Alwynne, > Are these Scotts related to Arthur Gideon Scott, born Shetland about 1822? > He married Margaret Grant in geelong Parish in 1853. > On the subject of Currie, do you have a Currie married Pearl Elaine Eveline > LONG or CUNNINGHAM some time after 1915. > Or Margaret CURRIE m Charles Frederick ALLISON in 1888. > I also have Barbara May Siddle (sic) m Austin Reginals Keddell 1939. > Kind regards, > Sharon Long. > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "alwynne mackie" <alwynnem@melbpc.org.au> > To: <AUS-VIC-GEELONG-DISTRICT-L@rootsweb.com> > Sent: Friday, January 16, 2004 3:34 PM > Subject: Re: [GEELONG] GRANT, TURNBULL, LAWLESS, BELL, SCOTT, LOUTTIT, > SQUIRES > > > > I have oodles of information on that family of Scotts.

Hi Alwynne, Thanks for your reply, but no matches at this stage.
