Thank you I’m on it now but I can’t find Ernest I’m really struggling ... help meeeeeee please lol

[vixtoria]

I agree, Lesley.

The details are: SCOTT, ERNEST -
GRO Reference: 1891 S Quarter in MORPETH Volume 10B Page 403

There's no mother's maiden name entered which usually indicates an illegitimate birth.

It could be worthwhile to order the certificate, which, if the right one will name Ernest's mother's name.

im on the site now and typing in your details for me and nothing is coming up? im no good at these sites lol

Just to clarify the Bella/Isabella situation. The most recent census that we have access to is 1911 and here you can see James and Isabella (Annie's parents) with Ernest and their granddaughter Isabella in the same house on census night.

1911

Ernest and young Isabella were about the same age so I think that perhaps she would be the one you talk about as being your grandad's aunt who had the letters. The older Isabella, Annie's mother, is the one who adopted Ernest. Young Isabella was actually Annie's niece and your grandad's second cousin. Her father was Annie's brother, John SCOTT who married Wilhelmina LEATHAM in 1892. John may have died in 1899 as there is a death that matches his age, and then in the 1901 census Wilhelmina was a widow with her two children.

1901

Wilhelmina remarried to John HUNT and you can see her new family here in 1911.

1911

It appears that Annie was James and Isabella's only daughter and I wouldn't be surprised if she was Ernest's mother. Hopefully the birth cert will have enough information to establish his parentage.
