SCOTT FAMILY
WALTER SCOTT
Walter was born in 1836 in Ireland. At this time we do not have a name of his parents but do know he married Ann Gillis who was born in 1837. He immigrated to the US in 1837. We know there were 5 children born: Ellen Jane in 1863, Isabella in 1865, Sarah E in 1870, Alexander 1873-1926, and Catherine Amelia in 1874.
The only Census we have is in Wellington, Ontario, Canada. Maybe that is where we have the dates we do? But it lists: Walter is 65 born in Ireland, Ann is 64 born in Ontario, Sarah E is 31 born in Ontario, an adopted child Catherine E Sanders who is three. It also shows they attend the United Brethen Church.
ALEXANDER SCOTT
Alexander Scott was born in 1874 to Amaranth, Ontario, Canada to Walter and Ann (Gillis) Scott.
February 25, 1903 in Dufferin, Ontario, Canada when Alex was 28 he married Mary Adeline Curry who was 22. Their marriage license is very interesting. It shows he is a farmer and she a farmer's daughter. This is where we find the name of Alexander's parents and Mary Adeline's parents are William and Catherine (Smith) Curry.
We find four Census on this family. They are:
1906 in Saskatchewan family members listed: Alex 32, Addie 25, Gertrude 3, Cecil
1916 in Saskatchewan family members listed: Alex 42 this census shows born in Ontario – that Alex is a laborer for odd jobs, Irish and a Methodist. Adeline 34 born Ontario, Gertrude 12 born Saskatchewan, Cecil 11 born Saskatchewan and now Barton 9 born Saskatchewan
1921 in Saskatchewan family members listed: Alex 40 this census shows born in Ontario – that Alex is a Painter, Irish and a Methodist. Mary 38 born Ontario, Gertrude 17 born Saskatchewan, Cecil 18 born Saskatchewan and now Barton 14 born Saskatchewan (conflicting info I know...remember a census is only as correct as the person posting it)
1926 in Saskatchewan family members listed: Alexander 51 this census shows born in Ontario – this is the first one to list him as Scottish and it looks like they are running a Rooming House, Adeline 63 born Ontario but Irish, Gertie 22 born Saskatchewan, Cecil 21 born Saskatchewan and now Barton 19 born Saskatchewan
They had three children: Gertrude Mae Feb. 17, 1904 – 1981 Kenless, Saskatchewan, Canada
Cecil Alexander February 25, 1905 Grand Coulee, Saskatchewan
Edward Barton February 25, 1907-1967 Grand Coulee
GERTRUDE MAE (SCOTT) MOORE
Gertrude Mae was born February 17, 1904 in Kenless, Saskatchewan, Canada to Alexander and Mary Adeline Curry.
Gertrude married Adrian Charles Robert Moore May 31, 1924 in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada. They had three children: Valerie Adrianne November 28, 1924 – 2000 in Kelvington, Saskatoon, Canada. Doreen Mae September 12, 1926 Kelvington, Saskatoon, Canada and Derek Scott November 6, 1928 – 1975 in Kelvingon, Saskatoon, Canada. I love she passed on family names in her children's middle names...Adrianne in honor of Adrianne's father Adrian, Mae in honor of Gertrude's middle name and Scott for her son in her maiden name.
Gertrude was a widow at 57. She passed away June 5, 1981 in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada.
Gertrude “Nanny Moore” passed away June 5, 1981 in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada. Her obituary said she was in the Sunnyside Nursing Home and had 3 children, 9 grandchildren and 7 great grandchildren. Terry remembers her as being a really nice grandma.
