Biography

This profile is part of the Whitehead Name Study.

Emma Scott (1824-1909) was the daughter of John Whitehead, a bleacher and dyer in Lancashire. She was the great-great-grand-daughter of John Kay, the inventor of the Fly-shuttle that revolutionized the spinning industry, and first cousin of Robert Whitehead who developed the torpedo. Emma married William Scott, a Manchester cotton merchant, and had eight children.

In 1871 she took three of her children and a niece on a journey to Egypt, which took over eight months.

Emma Scott died at Plas Uchaf, Abergele, North Wales in 1909.
