Essex Completed Lookup Requests / Re: Looking for John Young b1867 Finchley - lived in Barking

Hello cockneylass,

I've finally tracked down my John Young. He was born in Paddington in 1865 and found at Finchley in the 1881 Census. Unfortunately no known connection to the family you seek.

Regards,
Larry

John (son) was a Gas Stoker, John (father - deceased) was a railway foreman. I did think I had a good lead through an 1881 Census record that had John Young's father and son (correct age) with son born in Highgate but tracing them through to 1891 (indexed under Yang!!) their occupations were (son) fitter & turner and (father) groom / coachman - which seem incompatible??

According to my father John was killed in WW1 but I can't find a corresponding record in the Commonwealth War Graves site and I don't think many 50-y-o men went to war did they? If he did serve in WW1 perhaps there is some Army record I can access (although none online? - I am in Australia).

Having a common surname is certainly a drawback in this instance! I am trying to find details of my great grandfather JOHN YOUNG. According to his marriage certificate (31 May 1896) to Mary Ann Spooner, and the 1901 England Census it would seem he was born in April or May 1867 in Finchley (according to Census). His father was also a John Young. He was deceased by 1918, possibly in WW1.

His children with Mary Ann were John (1897), Edward (1899), Minnie (1902), Joseph (1905) as well as Ellen, Mark, Denis and Dorothy. As of the marriage date he was living at 103 Axe Street, Barking.

As I am a Young myself I am keen to be able to trace John's birth and parents, especially as I have managed to do so with all other branches of my family tree!
