Hi Charles, I have relatives in Houghton le Spring. There are a few Scotts in the telephone directory http://www.bt.com/phonenetuk/ in the Houghton le Spring area. Unfortunately this site gets quite a high workload so I couldn't get past the 2nd page ( 3 Scotts in Houghton so far ). There's no guarantee they're descendants of your George though. You could also try www.192.com . You may have to consider letters to those you find, you may be lucky !
