Hello, I would like to contact Paul Radford, who sent the note below to this mailing list in February 2007. Unfortunately, his recorded email address is no longer valid, and I haven't been able to find him with an Internet search. I believe I am also descended from the John Scott and Elizabeth Blades that he mentioned. I would appreciate it if anyone has a current address for Paul, and I would be happy to hear from anyone else with an interest in the same names in the Muker/Grinton area. Thanks very much. Tom Hutchinson ------------ Begin previous message ------------- Hello Hilary, I have done some work on a line of Scott's from Whitaside in Grinton from the 1640s through to the 1750s, namely John Scott and Elizabeth Blades 1670, John Scott and Ann Raw 1708, Ralph Scott and Mary Blades 1712, Ralph Scott and Ellen Calvert 1739, John Scott and Elizabeth Alderson 1789. I also have information on some of John and Elizabeth Scott's children who moved to Ravenseat and Keld in the parish of Muker from the 1750s to around 1900, John Scott and Hannah Metcalf 1830, Charles Scott and Ann Alderson 1832 and Christopher Scott and Mary Alderson 1833. However I have found no link between this Scott family and an Appleby family. Are any of these names of any interest to you? Regards Paul Radford ------------ End previous message ----------------
