John Young baptised 6th August 1747. Married Elizabeth Barnes 23rd July 1769.

His father was Charles young baptised 1st April 1719 at Bridekirk. "son of John YOUNG, traveller"

His father was John Young who was baptised 23rd March 1692 at Bridekirk. "son of James YOUNG, Dov(enby)"

His father was James Young.

Somewhere, several years ago, I downloaded a pdf file which is a transcript of the Bridekirk registers.  My additions given above are from that source.

THank you for this information as i say i'm limited on what i know i have now confirmed

"John Young baptised 6th August 1747. Married Elizabeth Barnes 23rd July 1769."

I'm very interested in find out who John's mother was and his grandparents and if he had anymore siblings too.

"His father was Charles young baptised 1st April 1719 at Bridekirk. "son of John YOUNG, traveller"

His father was John Young who was baptised 23rd March 1692 at Bridekirk. "son of James YOUNG, Dov(enby)"

His father was James Young."

What do you think traveller and Dov (enby) mean? I'm learning more about my ancestors every day or every couple of hours on here more than i have found on ancestry

Dovenby is a township in Bridekirk parish http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/CUL/Bridekirk

Re "traveller" - All other baptisms around that time give a place of abode, so I would assume J YOUNG wasn't resident in the parish.

Thank you, for confirming dovenby for me. Im now interested in any other member of those family

Do you have any other information about the family. What about more recent members in the early 19C perhaps. Do you have the recent family history and it is only the early ones that you are struggling with?

My g.great grandmother was Isabella Gemmell born in Maryport 1845, she died in Carlisle in 1874. Her father was Joseph Gemmell. Would like to know who his wife was and if Isabella have siblings, anything actually ? Are there any Gemmell families in Maryport  or nearby today? Isabella married Thomas Christie in1870 in Carlisle.
