Hi As the story goes in my family my great grandfather David Scott was the first emplo at Boots the chemist on Hockley. He later moved to Manchester to start a new shop there, where finally died. All I know about him is that he was born somwhere in Scotland, met his future wife in Ireland, a Margret Wheeler, before moving to Nottingham. All this happened in the 1800`s. Does this ring any bells? Ian

Hello! My great grandfather was Everett (Evert?) SCOTT. This may have been his middle name. I cannot find anything on him. I know he married 1) Beaulah (Beulah?) WEST sometime around 1915. Everett had a brother Jack SCOTT and a sister Kate or Katherine SCOTT. Jack SCOTT married a lady by last name of WEST also. This SCOTT family lived around the Linn County and Chariton County area in Missouri in early 1900's. Children of Everett SCOTT and Beaulah WEST: 1) Everett Edward SCOTT - adopted to Mr. and Mrs. Wesley. They named him Paul. He lived in NV last I heard. 2) Albert Estel SCOTT - adopted out to whom I don't know. Named him Bobby (Robert?) 3) Earnest SCOTT b. May 10, 1920. Earnest does not know for sure his birthdate. The adoption agency guessed he was about 6 years old in 1926 and gave him a birthdate. He was adopted out to Hiram RUNYON and Mary Ann WOOD in Worth Co., MO. 4) Girl SCOTT d. about 1924 in a house fire. Beaulah (West) Scott, mother of the children, went into a sanitarium after the house fire which killed the little girl. Everett was an alcoholic and couldn't take care of the kids. They were adopted to other families sometime around 1926. Earnest SCOTT was on an Orphan Train in Carrollton, MO where he was picked up by the RUNYON's and adopted. Everett SCOTT went on to marry again and had at least 2 other children: 1) Ray Allen SCOTT b. abt. 1945 2) Patty SCOTT b. abt. 1947 Please, if anyone can help me on this family I'd be glad to hear from you!
