NotesIn 1901, Walter Scott, 9 years of age, was residing at 3, Back Redworth Street, West Hartlepool, Durham, England. Other family members included: Annie Scott, 6; John W. Scott, 4; Kate Scott, 34; Robert Scott, 29, general labourer; and Clara Scott, 2. (Source: 1901 Census of England; Class: RG13; Piece: 4642; Folio: 40; Page: 13.)

A death registration was found for Robert Scott: Estimated Birth Year: abt 1872; Year of Registration: 1901; Quarter of Registration: Jul-Aug-Sep; Age at Death: 29; District: Hartlepool (1859-1938); County: Durham; Volume: 10a; Page: 104.

Walter was placed in the Middlemore emigration home because after his father's death his mother was too ill to look after them.

In 1903, Walter Scott, 11 (along with his sister Clara Scott, 5) arrived in Halifax,
Nova Scotia, Canada, with a group of 124 children. His sister, Clara, was placed in Sydney, Nova Scotia with the widow Mrs. Isobellea (Neil) MacLean of South Bentick Street, Sydney, Cape Breton County, Nova Scotia. The family lived in Gabarus Lake, Cape Breton County,during the summer months. Walter's first placement (1904) was with Mr. Joseph Leslie, Eagle Head, Queens County, Nova Scotia.
From 1906 to 1908 Walter was with Mr. James Jenks, Portapique Mountain, Colchester County, Nova Scotia. When Walter as 18 years of age he left Nova Scotia for Kansas City, Missouri, USA. He is listed in the 1910 Missouri censes. Upon turning 21 Walter was heir to property in Hartlepool, Durham England. On February 14 1911 Walter sent a letter to Middlemore Homes in search of his sister Clara's whereabouts. He wanted to return to the UK with Clara and be a family again. The letter query never found its way to Clara. The last time Walter saw his sister was through a fence in Halifax in 1903.
