John SCOTT & Hannah DONCASTER
John SCOTT & Hannah DONCASTER
John SCOTT was the 1st child and eldest son of John SCOTT & Sarah SAVAGE.
He was born 1 November 1841 - where, I'm not sure!
On 25 December 1866 at the Baptist Chapel Upwell, he married Hannah DONCASTER of March.
The witnesses were John's sister Eliza SCOTT and her future husband, Benjamin WHEAT.

On the 1881 U.K. Census, we find John, Hannah and their 3 children living along the 16ft Bank in Christchurch
- in fact next door to my other Gt Gt Grandparents, George & Hannah CAWTHORN at "The Crown".
