It is is extremely unlikely that anyone of Joseph’s family would see your post.

Have a look in search family trees to see if anyone has him on their tree.

If you want anyone to look into researching him you will need to let us know what part of what country Joseph was born and living in when he died.

Lots of bits and pieces about him online

Durham County Constabulary
• Supt Joseph Scott, died May 31 1888, aged 44, shot dead in a revenge attack by an ex-sergeant who then shot himself.

Joseph Scott was stationed at Jarrow when he died. The newspaper report says he had a brother, Percival, who was also a Superintendent working at the Castle Eden Division of the Force.

The murderer of Superintendent Scott was Benjamin Wright who had been dismissed from the Force on the instigation of Joseph Scott.

Thank you everyone

In the 1891 census Ada Scott is living in Hartlepool with her step mother Anne Scott and half sister Laura.

There is a marriage for an Ada Scott in Hartlepool in the third quarter of 1891 that could be a possibility.

If you can't find the family, a local museum may be interested, or will know which museum will be interested.

There is a North East Police history society which looks as though it maybe Facebook based. They do seem to have some sort of tie- in with the Beamish museum.
