Young Family Channelkirk/Midlothian 1824/1826
« on: Tuesday 02 June 09 19:47 UTC (UK) »
This was posted in amongst other things on Kirk Yetholm area message board but I don't want it getting lost so thought I'd post here and see if anyone recognises any names.
I'm trying to find out more about Robert Young:-

Re: Robert Young


OPR Births Channelkirk 1824/1826

Young James, Hind in Netherhouden, and Mary Liddel his wife, had a son born on the 19th day of November 1824 and baptized 23rd January 1825, called Robert Young.

Now all I need to do is find out if Robert lived long enough to marry, have children and die - in that order!

His siblings were:
James (my gg-gf) b.1826 d.1905 m. Ann Shiel
Janet b.1828
Thomas b.1830
Jean b.1832
Mary b.1834
Marion b.1836
Agnes b.1838
Christopher b.1840
William b.1842
George b.1845

 
Father James, by then a shepherd, (parents Robert Young & Jane Murdoch) died soon after George was born (hence no more children!) unfortunately too soon for a death cert though so no idea where he died etc.
Although they were living at Humbie East Lothian at the time, but a search 5 years ago turned up with nothing on him, no burial located etc & haven't looked since.
Mother Mary (parents James Liddel & Janet Brackenridge) lived to a ripe old age of 96 when she died in Dumfries at her daughters home - she was also Mary, who married a James McGeorge.  I don't know anything more about her.



There is another Robert Young on the printout (which I think my mum got on SP) he was born on 24th July 1826 in Huntershall to Thomas Young (Shepherd) and Joan Whitson. I think I will check Thomas out now as a possible brother to James my gg-gf (parents Robert Young & Jane Murdoch).
If anyone recognises these names or can offer advice then please reply.
I do use Scotland's People and also the IGI and FreeCen.



Our ancestors didn't want to make this too easy for us did they!!  Smiley
