England / Scot marrying in the 'London area'

« on: Monday 28 January 13 21:06 GMT (UK) »

Hello,
My ancestor John Younger was born 1716 in Stitchel/Stichell, Roxburghshire, Scotland and married a lady called Mary Yates in the london area. I found this out from their grandsons autobiography. He was also called John Younger.
John and Mary has two children a daughter and a son William born 1747. Ive been unable to find any record of the marriage or any baptisms.
The London area to a Scot may have been a very wide area, but still i can not fin a Younger-Yates marriage anywhere in that period.
Can anyone help?

« on: Monday 28 January 13 13:39 GMT (UK) »

I am a distant cousin of the poet William Knox who was born in Lilliesleaf rox. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Knox_(Scottish_poet)
Ive seen write ups which say he is or probably is a descendent of John Knox the reformer? Is there any way of proving this?
From what ive seen John Knox' sons had no issue.

Scotland / Marriage age in 17th century Scotland

« on: Friday 25 January 13 18:40 GMT (UK) »

My ancestor John Younger married Isobel Collingwood in Stitchel, Roxburghshire, Scotland on 29/06/1697. The only baptism i can find locally for a John Younger is in 1682 also in Stitchel to a Robert and Helen Younger.
If its the same John it would probably make him 15/16 at the time of marriage. Is this likely or is it probably the wrong John? I know people married very young in those days.
