Francis There are several S. Scott entries on CWGC that have no age or next of kin details so I was wondering how could you eliminate them from your search? There is a S Scott commemorated at Jarrow Townhall with no details as far as regiment.I found it through GENUKI.Maybe there are records there at town hall?

Hello Francis, I first did a search on the SWD CD and of all the records of a "SCOTT" with the initial "S" of which there are a total of 41 there is only whose initial "S" is STANLEY. In other words of all the records on the CD for all who died with a surname of SCOTT only one has a first name of STANLEY, in fact it is STANLEY HERBERT. The information then provided by the CD for this man is as follows: 32210 Private Stanley Herbert Scott 2/6 Battalion Prince of Wales`s (North Staffordshire Regiment) Born: Newcastle on Tyne Enlisted at: Newcastle on Tyne Residence at time of Enlistment: Forest Hall, Northumberland. Date Died: 21/03/18 Died How: Killed in Action Theatre of War: France and Flanders Armed with this information I then looked at CWGC and this provides the following information that we do not yet know: Son of Mrs E Scott, of 1 South View, Forest Hall, Newcastle on Tyne. Grave number II. B. 35 Cemetery Ecoust Military Cemetery, Ecoust-St Mein I am not saying this is your Great Uncle, I only offer this information you must decide. However bear in mind that the CD SWD out of a total of 41 records of S SCOTT only one is a STANLEY. However it is known that both the SWD CD and the CWGC do have errors and omissions. Should you decide this is/may be your Great Uncle and would wish to know more then please feel free to contact me.
