2. John Young b 1793 d bef 1795
3. John Smith Young b1795? d 1868
4. Edward James Young b 1797 d bef 1871?
5. Ebenezer Withrington Young b 1799? d 1806

7. Mary Young b 1803
8. Simon Alexander George Young b 1805 d 1873 Clifton, Bristol my Great (x3) grandfather
9. Ebenezer Young b 1808

Ebenezer was prior to 1792 Rector of Queensferry Grammar School. He also translated the Acadamy's Royal Charter into Latin

Does anyone out there know of any MI's relating to the family or have any other snippets of information/additions or corrections?

Many thanks to those who take the trouble to read this

Hello Wharfebank.

Thanks for replying.


Simon Alexander George Young is also my GGG Grandfather and William Kortright Brock is my GG Grandfather. Simon’s wife Hannah was Hannah Higginson. They were married on 31st May 1834, Bolarum, India. Simon was born 3 Nov 1805, Inverness, Scotland. He was the son of Ebenezer Young, a teacher at the (Inverness) Acadamy. His mother was Margaret Smith. If you go to the India Family History Search page at www.indiafamily.bl.uk you will find the full references.

The de Saumarez addition to the Brock names is a references to family connections with the De Saumarez family of Guernsey.

When you have transcribed the letters I would love to see them. I also have letters written to Fanny Aikin Kortright, William Kortright Brock's aunt. Have only just aquired them so haven't had much chance to look at them properly yet, should be interesting.

Regards

Gina

Looking for Hannah Higginson b app 1813-17. She is according to family documents apparantly related to "the famous Dr Stewart of Belfast". She left Ireland for India 1833/34 where she married Simon Alexander George Young, an army surgeon.

I have know idea who her parents were or who the "famous Dr Stewart" was.

Any clues please.  :)

Sligo / Donlavy family of Castleconor
« on: Monday 29 November 10 20:09 GMT (UK)  »
looking for Donlavy family of Castleconor.  They lived there around the middle of the 18th Century.
Mr & Mrs Donlavy had a child Catherine/Katherine/Kate.  I believe Kate's mother died in childbirth and may be buried in the old Killanley burial ground. Mr Donlavy remarried, inherited some money and became Donlavy-Balfour.

Looking for inspiration please as I am completely stuck
