This is probably him looking at how many children they have had by 1797
Ovingham:
Michael Young baptised 28 Dec 1761 son of Michael and Mary
This is from the IGI my fiche doesn't start that early and the BT's start in 1762
so I couldn't say where in Ovingham he was born. There were 2 other siblings in the 1760's but the BT's skip from 1762-1769 and they fall between those.
Marriage Ovingham:
Michael Young of the parish of Stamfordham and Isabella Potts of this parish by banns 28 Sep 1788 This means that banns were read in Stamfordham and Ovingham. It does not mean that Michael was born there--only living there at the time nor was Isabella born necessarily in Ovingham--only residing there.
One of the daughter's of Michael and Isabella was baptised in Ovingham: Grace Young daughter of Michael and Isabella of Wylam Wood 30 May 1790
I will keep looking--it is early in the evening for me.
I corrected/edited the Mary one--yes it was an additional child. I always look at siblings as sometimes you get different information or additional information.
Burials Ryton that are probably this family.
Michael Young died Winlaton Mill, buried 19 Jun 1832, age 71 [fits the 1761 birth]
Isabella Young died Kyo, buried 15 May 1827, age 63
Another Isabella Young who was buried 30 Apr 1814 of Stella, age 37 but I don't think this was Michael's wife.
