Bronwen Lotis contacted me through WikiTree to her link to son John & Jessie Barnett’ family. She also provided the details of Jessie’s other child, James Scott, who was brought up as a stepson of Robert. She wrote:

Jessie’s first born child was James Scott (1875-1949), who was my maternal Gt grandfather. His father was Charles Scott, but I’ve not been able to find out a great deal about his father, instead I found out more about James Scott’s mother and her children to Robert Mutch, who were James’ half brothers and sisters.

James Scott had 7 children, 2 sons and 5 daughters. One of his daughters is my maternal grandmother.

Bronwen’s WikiTree page for this couple added a new son, John Mutch, from census records.

Another piece of this very complex family thanks to Bronwen Lotis.
