Hi Anthony Unfortunately, we have all been stumped by some Scott brick wall. Yours can be resolved fairly easy :) You will need to go through the Index at a family history centre, and request all the certificates that might be relevant to the birth of Ann Norah SCOTT When ordering the certificate, you can stipulate that her fathers first name is William. There is an index on line 1837online.com but it is pay per view. FreeBMD might have the info, but is far from complete. You can solve it... But it may cost you s hundred dollars or less It took me almost 6 years of searching to finally find my illusive Scott ancestors who like you gave a different place of birth in each almost 3 different census before they disappeared again after 1881.
