YOUNG of Winterslow

[jazzi]

Hi Jenny,
My 3rd g.grandparents were William Young and Lucy Reaves. I also came to the conclusion that Lucy Reaves was Williams wife when I saw Elizabeth Reaves living with them in 1851. I have a marriage date of July 14 1822.
I am descended from their son John born in 1834.
Regards,
Ann

Hi Ann,
  Many thanks for making contact.  I did not have the marriage date you mention.  Do you have documentary proof of it?  If so, I would be grateful if you could let me see a copy.
   Have you been able to establish exact birth/baptism dates and places for William' parents, Charles and Ann?  I have Ann's baptism date as 7th October 1770 in Winterslow (according to the parish registers) which accords with the IGI.  But I have not been able to trace Charles being born in Winterslow around 1766 (as per IGI). 
   Best wishes, Jenny

Hi Jenny,
I don't know whether you have found the marriage for Charles Young and Ann Stone.   If not, it was 25 April 1791 in Winterslow.   There is no indication from the entry that Charles was from Winterslow.

Winterslow PR has not been extracted into the IGI by LDS.   Therefore all IGI entries were submitted by church members.   In my experience for Winterslow, if the entry has an exact date it is correct, otherwise it is a guess.   Winterslow baptisms are now available on familyhistoryonline but of course you have to pay.

Charles was buried 13 Jul 1832 and his age is given as 67, thus supporting a birth around 1766.   I am now convinced that his baptism was 7 May 1769 in Laverstock[recorded in IGI] and that his parents were Stephen and Esther.   I come to this conclusion because there is a marriage entry [by licence] for Stephen Young of Winterbourne and Esther Rogers in Winterslow PR for 1765.   On the licence he is Stephen Jun. Young of Winterbourne Gunner.   It seems possible that Charles was born during the move to Laverstock and was baptized later, although after his sister Sarah in 1768.   It could be worth looking at the parish register for further information.

Hope this is useful

Dear Colin,
  Thanks very much for all this.  I had found the marriage, as I have the Baptism and Burials book for Winterslow published by WFHS, but hadn't connected Stephen Young to Charles.  What you say is convincing.  I hadn't intended go to back further than my 3xgtgrandparents, but keep getting lured on by enticing bits of information.
  I still need to confirm the marriage date of William Young and Lucy Reeves (the Winterslow marriage disc I consulted stopped at 1812).
  Best wishes, Jenny

Dear Jenny(my wife's name is Jenny)

If you have a Stone from Winterslow in your family tree we must be related.   I think our common ancestors are from the marriage of Richard Stone and Elizabeth White.   

As Ann Stone's grandmother was Mary Judd, it is probable that we are also related through the Judd line,  athough I have not checked where.   It is usually possible to trace [using the IGI] Judd ancestors to the marriage of Thomas Judd to Edith in 1518.

I hope these are enticing bits of information.

Happy hunting

Colin

Hi Jenny

A few weeks ago you were asking about the marriage of William Young.   I saw the parish register on film today and the date given for the marriage by Ann[jazzi] is the one in the register.   One of the witnesses was Samuel Rogers and I think the other was James Green.

Good luck

Colin

Many thanks, Colin.   That's very helpful, and just about completes the data I was hoping to confirm.
  Best wishes, Jenny
