Young, Joseph Scotland
« on: Sunday 09 July 17 04:13 BST (UK) »
My great grandad David Young came to New Zealand on the ship 'Storm Cloud' 1861 with his parents Joseph & Jane Young. I have found a passenger list but no Christian names or ages so a bit vague. I am hopeful that someone can help me find info about Joseph & Jane. Where did they live, get married & where, parents names & names of other siblings. David was 6 yrs when they arrived in NZ. And they sailed from Glasgow. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Were any of David's siblings with them and if so what were their names and ages? What was the date of departure? If it was after the date of the census (7 April 1861) you should be able to find them in the census.

Looking at the IGI on FS, there are seven families with husband Joseph Young and wife Jane having family in Scotland between 1850 and 1870. However four of these can immediately be ruled out because one or more children were born after 1862, leaving three couples to consider.

Joseph Young and Jane Wishart had
Joseph, born 23 March 1856
Mary and Margaret (twins), born 7 January 1858.
Allison, born 17 March 1860
all in Bathgate, West Lothian. This family appears to be in Bathgate in the 1861 census index: Joseph, 37; Jane, 37; Alexander, 19; Janet, 18; Jane, 14; David, 11; Andrew, 9; Catherine, 7; Allison, 1.
Joseph Young, aged 1, died in Bathgate in 1858. Margaret Young, aged 0, died in Bathgate in 1858. Another Margaret Young, no age given in index, died there in 1860. I wonder if this could be her twin Mary, with an error in the record? Another Joseph Young, no age in index, died in Bathgate in 1860. The age of Jane's son David seems to rule this out as being your Young family, but how sure are you of his age on arrival in New Zealand? You can check by viewing the original documents on the SP web site.

Joseph Young and Jane Cameron had
John, born 2 January 1856
Alexander, born 14 January 1858
both in Edinburgh

Joseph Young and Jane Yule had
John Yule, born 5 July 1850
in Liff Benvie and Invergowrie, Angus

Of course it is quite possible that your Joseph and Jane are not in the records at all.
Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.

David Young age 49 born about 1792 West Lothian occupation (H L W )
Mary Young age 49 born West Lothian
Joseph Young age 18 occupation ( H L W)

Good finds, Rosie. I think you've cracked it.
