According to an online tree Robert Yorston was baptised in July 1806 Kirkwall and St Ola,Orkney,Scotland, he was the son of William Yorston and Christian Firth.
As I can`t find him , I can`t confirm that.
Robert Yourston , joiner married Mary McGinnis in 1830 at St Peter, Liverpool, Mary was a widow (nee YOUNGHUSBAND)
Their daughter Mary Yorston was baptised in 1835 at St Peter, Bolton le Moors, the parents were Robert Youston a joiner and Mary his wife.
By 1841 Mary and three children were together in Bolton. Robert is missing.
Mary Yourston 30
Robert Yourston 10
Mary Yourston 6
William Yourston 3 1838 mmn Younghusband
Mary Yourston aged 42 was buried on 18 October 1843 in Liverpool.
Her husband was Robert.
The children Mary and Robert are not found in 1851, but they are around somewhere as they later married, and gave fathers name as Robert a joiner
The youngest son William was in the Blue Coat School in Liverpool in 1851.
My questions are can anyone find Mary and Robert b Bolton in 1851.
Was the Blue Coat School for poor children at that time.
Can anyone find Robert the joiner.
Thanks.

He was buried as Younston on 14.6.1841 so should be on the 1841 census which was taken on 6th June. Address shown on burial record is just “Infirmary”

Is he the one in St Mary's, born 1797, found the entry on FindMyPast, but I don't subscribe to that.
He's perhaps hiding in his hospital bed in April, I can't spot him.
Can't find Mary's burial though.
Thanks

“Can’t find Mary’s burial though”
Your reply above says “ Mary Yourston aged 42 was buried in Liverpool on 18.10.1843“

Just found the entry - Mary died 13.10.1843 buried 18.10.1843 - shown as married. Husband Robert which suggests Robert was still alive in 1843

When Robert Jnr marries on the 24th May 1854 his occupation is recorded as "Mariner". Could he be at sea for the 1851 census?

Found Mary in 1851. Ref HO107 2186 464 2. Recorded as MAY.

Scotlandspeople record 3 Robert Yorston births for 1796 Firth & Stenness,/1798 Yester/1799 Kirkwell, roughly matching the 1841 death.
We have no census evidence of Robert Snrs age or where he was born and as we all know trees on Anc* can be incorrect/misleading. Strange we cannot find him on 1841 or any census after this date. The Robert on the tree can be traced as being married to someone else on census and living in Scotland.

For info only re the 1851 census re Mary. She is the niece of Margaret Rankin nee' Younghusband (sister to Mary Younghusband/McGinnis/Yorston) who married William Rankin 3.6.1821 St Peter's Liverpool.

That`s possible , The youngest son William was in the Blue Coat School in Liverpool in 1851.
I see there is a connection with mariners from that school, but there is little about it in the 19th c.
I wonder would he have been there as his father was paying, or was it a charity school.

It is a problem, I`ve tried to find a remarriage for Robert, but so far found none that fits.
I found another tree, and they can`t find him either. I think I`ll call it a day on this one.
Thanks.

Hi, it's very frustrating this post. I too had an ancestor who at an early age lost both parents and ended up a a school like William's and he went on to become a mariner. I've struggled to find births/baptisms for Mary and her sister Margaret. However I know you are shutting up shop with this but one final note. James Rankin c1827 is with who I believe to be his grandparents William & Mary Younghusband in 1841 census ref HO107 565 5 3 in Liverpool. I suspect Mary whilst baptised in Bolton was born in Liverpool as her sister Margaret.
Keep well,
John

Thanks, it doesn't really help when the name is often mistranscibed .
