Hello. I'm new to site and hoping someone can help as I have been searching for 6 months + for info re my ggg-grandfather John Young. His son, George Young is listed as follows:
1861 census born c.1812 North Cave
1871 census born c 1810 Eight and Forty
1881 census born c 1809 Eight and Forty
I have a copy of George's marriage certificate. He married Ann Wilson,( born either in North Cave or Walkington depending on which census you read.) This is confirmed by the family bible.
Married 21 Mar 1840 in Market Weighton' George is 28 yrs and a widower. He is a shoemaker by trade. His father is John Young, a farmer. Ann Wilson is 29 years and her father is Rodger Wilson, also a farmer. The witnesses are Mark Whirles and Robert Jackson junior (family, friends or professional witnesses?
I think George's first wife may have been Mary Gorwood from Market Weighton. A George Young married Mary Gorwood in Market Weighton on 25 Sep 1834. (Batch no M109071). Has anyone access to this marriage record please as it may give more info re John Young and tell us if he is the father of the groom. My research indicates Mary may have had a daughter, Caroline, who died in infancy and Mary died shortly after. Unfortunately there is at least one other Young family living in Market Weighton around this time and several John Youngs who could potentially be George's father who lived in the area. All I know definitely about John is that his son George was born at Eight and Forty so he could come from that area. Whether he appears in the 1841 or 51 census I do not know, although I suspect he may have died before George's second marriage in 1840 as he wasn't a witness.
If anyone can locate George's birth records and confirm where his father John came from, I would be extremely grateful as I have spent hours trying to piece the info I have together.
Thanking you in anticipation.
Margaret
