Clackmannanshire / Re: Jane Younger (nee Hunter)

Lorrie21,
Thanks for that. I'll try and digest all these connections later.
I'm a native of Alloa and my family has deep roots here over several generations.
I'll post the photo tonight.
I have photos of the 1st Viscount's grave in Greenside cemetery which includes other family members and that of the McEwan's headstone as well. I also have that of William McEwan's grave at Great Bookham in Surrey.
Clackmannanshire Council have records of burials going way back - that is how I located the Younger and McEwan sites - Greenside has not been used for many years now. I can easily give you their number for further investigation.
I did spot other Younger headstones there - but I was'nt looking for anything earlier than the generation born in the mid 19th century.
If you have an e-mail address I can attach the photos direct, rather than post them all here.
I also have contact details for some current members of various branches of the Younger family - all have been very helpful.
If you have'nt already done so - get down to your local library and dig out Burke's Peerage as it contains extensive details on the Younger family, I found it invaluable. Also, "Who's Who" and "Who Was Who" was very useful.
