I do not think that the David Scott in the 1841 census is the father of Isabel Hewison Scott and the Janet Scott is certainly not her mother as her mother Jean Hewison is buried in the St Magnus Cathedral Graveyard having died in 1834. David is not recorded on the stone. He may have remarried or left Orkney after his wife died. Their son James is also buried in the St Magnus Cathedral graveyard. I think that the David and Janet Scott is probably David Scott and his wife Janet Garrioch who were married on 4th July 1812 in Kirkwall. Therefore this could not be the same David Scott as his wife did not die until 1834. I have done some research into this family previously as I have Hewison ancestors from Westray and it is very possible that Jean Hewison would have come from Westray.

Thanks for your insight, George. If only finding our ancestors was as easy as 1...2...3!! I will, of course, keep on digging (no pun intended!)
