Jon thanks for the reply. Lots of common names and places but I don't see any links. My SCOTTs were prison warders in Portsmouth and Parkhust, IoW. A William Scott b. 1805 Chatham had children in that area and the family moved to Portsea about 1850 where he worked at the prison. his sons William b. 1833, John b. 1835 were prison warders (as was at least on other son). I have traced most of the descendents of this second William but have lost contact beyond 1891 with the family of John who had 12 or more children. My guess is that they probably were in the Portsmouth area but have not been able to trace them so far. Others in the family were/are in the Brighton and Woking areas. No tailors in the family. But a Mary Ann b. 1838 was a photogrpahers assistant for many years in Portsmouth. She married a Cole and her line died out as near as I can tell when her only son died without issue.
