Hi everybody - I have been so lucky and impressed with the help I have been given on several queries already so here I am again with another request.
George Henry Young aka Harry Young/Harry George/Henry George Young is my 1st cousin 2x removed.
He was born on 14th December 1894 in either Fulham or Marylebone - Censuses and Register of Birth give both places!
1901 Census shows he was the grandson living at 197 Kennington Lane with his mother Rosa Ada Aplin as his father Henry Young had died in 1894.
1911 Census states he was still living with his mother and grandmother at 54 Clapham Road, aged 16 and working as a clerk in the Oil Industry.
On 25 June 1921 he married Kate 'Kitty' Celia Smith in East Preston, Sussex (Vol 2b P 759) and in 1932 he and Kitty went to Canada for a month - presumably to visit her relatives who had moved there.
Before they left in August they were living in Streatley Hill and he described himself as a Merchant on the Passenger List.
When they returned in September they were intending to live at Strawberry Hill and he was a Manager.
I have been unable so far to find any trace of his death or any events that happened to him after 1932.
I'm wondering if he was involved in either or both World Wars - but again can't find any information about this.
He and Kitty had 2 children - the son died in 1962 and the daughter is now very elderly and emigrated to New Zealand so I cannot obtain further details from that source either.
Hoping someone has more luck than me - I would be extremely grateful for any help at all.
Cheers and thanks for bothering to read this and trying to help - this is a wonderful site.
