Sydney Scott was born in 1853 at Ladykirk in Berwickshire - in Scotland, but right on the border with England. Her father, Alexander Scott, was head gardener at Ladykirk House. In 1871, just before her eighteenth birthday, she married John Lamont, a paper finished from Edinburgh. The following year, they had a daughter at Ladykirk, before moving to Edinburgh, where they had at least two children in the 1870s, before moving to Penicuik in Midlothian, where they were living on John Street in 1881.
In 1889, the family emigrated to the United States of America, settling in Massachusetts. Overall, they had nine children, although only three were still living in 1900. Sydney died in 1908, aged 55. Her husband John outlived her by six years.
