I am looking for any information on the above. He appears on my Father,s (Squire Scott) birth certificate Barton on Irwell August 1911. He was reputed to have travelled to India to buy cottons & silks for shops or garment makers in the North of England. |

He didn't die before the 1911 census - at least not in England/Wales. |

What concrete evidence is there that this man went to India? |

ErikaH | Report | 24 Dec 2018 16:45 |
P Scott who travelled to Bengal in October 1911 was Scottish, as were his wife and child (age less than one year). His occupation was 'Manager' |

Mabel lived until 1951 and she told family members that Phillip went to India to purchase silks and cottons. It might have been a one off journey or it may have been a fiction. |

Unfortunately, Mabel took the truth to her grave and it's unlikely that you'll ever get the answer. Sad, but realistic. |

It may just be he deserted her as she said don't ask about him you will hear no good |

Re Alice - you'll need the birth cert to find out if she's the right one (though it looks very probable). |
