Following the discovery of the 1802 Baptism Registration, (see Part 941ss), and as the Registration identified GGG-Grandfather Alexander Reid Scott's parents as James Scott and Ann Reid, my next step is to seek out a possible Marriage Registration. All-things-being-equal James Scott and Ann Reid would have been my GGGG-Great-Grandparents.
I have discovered that GGG-Grandfather Alexander Reid Scott may have been the youngest of the 11 children of GGGG-Grandparents James and Ann (née Reid) Scott.
And next, the 1784 Marriage Registration of GGGG-Grandparents James and Ann (née Reid) Scott.
Transcription -
51
March and April 1784
Scott
Mr. James Scott Wright in Leith, and Mifs Ann Reid ResidenterHumbie and Daughter of Mr. George Reid Farmer in Ratho af-ter proclamation of banns were married April 9th 1784.
And as far as coincidences go, I noted that GGGG-Grandfather James Scott is listed as a "Wright in Leith". "The noun "wright" is an Old English word, and it always refers to a person who builds, creates, or repairs something (as in playwright or shipwright). A Wright: a skilled craftsman.
In my research in Part 512s – Smith Robertson Genealogy – GGG-Grandfather James Smith’s Noted Occupations, I observed that GGG-Grandfather James Smith also at points of time in his life is recorded as having been a Wright.
The search continues. And I just keep on going.
