Northumberland / Re: David Horne & Margaret Young Kirknewton 1811????

Good to see that you also have John Young and Elizabeth Currie in your heritage and thanks for posting the information.
William was an elder brother of my Adam Young but I haven't been able to find Adam's baptism date as yet but going by his 1862 marriage certificate and 1880 death certificate it looks around 1830.
Adam's age on his death certificate was put at 51 by the informant who was the undertaker at Smythesdale which puts Adam's birth at around 1830. And while the informant stated that Adam's parents were unknown to him he recorded Adam's birth place as at Coldstream in Berwickshire Scotland.
Maybe the family were on the move between Kirknewton and Gordon when Adam was born at Coldstream. Just a guess though.
I haven't done a lot of research beyond John Young and Elizabeth Currie I have been concentrating my research on Adam's life after he arrived in Victoria around 1853 and headed to the goldfields around Smythesdale plus also the history of his son, Adam Edward Young, my GGF who headed to the gold fields on Charters Towers in North Queensland in the 1890s.
Good luck with any further research.
Gerry
