Hi there - I stumbled on this thread by accident.
Meiklejohn's Vennel is so called as it ran alongside Robert Meiklejohn's brewery in Alloa.
He moved to another site in 1852 and leased the premises to George Younger & Sons - it was sold to them in 1871 and became known as the Candleriggs Brewery, eventually becoming the third largest in Scotland.
It may be that Ann Younger was a member of this famous brewing family.

There is another Younger (Alloa) family thread on this website.
Not sure if it's of interest, or relevant.
I was fortunate enough to be able to help supply some information.

Jan,
If you could be a bit more specific about your gran, somebody may be able to help.
First name and date of birth etc., etc. would be a good place to start.
