This is really quite overwhelming :)  A week ago all I knew of my family history was my grandfather's and grandmothers names and where they lived, and I now have all this information, including  Clooties family tree with all the names way back to 1598 even!!  Even with all this info it has taken a while for my brain to work it all out, but I am now getting it into perspective and working out the various relationships.  Macalloa you have excelled yourself with the photographs.   I can see how addictive this family history research can be :)

Deemas,

You'll be interested to learn that there has been a tradition of military service as well as political careers in the extended Younger / McEwan family.

The late George Younger, 4th Viscount Leckie was Defence Minister and Secretary of State for Scotland under Maggie Thatcher, a highly prominent Cabinet Minister. He represented Ayr.

Sir Kenneth Gilmour Younger (photo below) was a Junior Minister in the LABOUR (!!!) government, he was elected after World War II as MP for Grimsby.



His branch of the family are descended from James Younger, brother of George, First Viscount.

If memory serves Sir Kenneth's son is Chairman of the Electoral Reform Commission.

Try 'Google' for details.

Several Youngers have had distinguished Army careers.

i was in touch with Deemas by E Mail and she sent me loads of personal history about relatives I didnt know i had. Memories from her mother. I believe that Deemas  was quite close to the fires in Australia, she sent me some amazing photos of them and said she was off to trace the other side of the tree. I havent heard from her since.

I noticed in your signature block you are interested in Wetheralds in Durham.  I am looking for more information on Matthew Wetherald b 1818 Kirkby Ravensworth and his father John b ~1795.

Any connection?

All the best

Hi, I was on the other thread and posted this:-

Hi, I have lost my 2nd Great Grand Uncle Peter Laing, he is a Weaver and married Ann Younger 2/11/1847 in Alloa, they are on the 1851 census with their one year old daughter mary Ann at Meiklejohns Vennel, Alloa.

I am happy to say I received a reply and found Peter & Ann emigrated to Australia.

Now Peter's sister Isabella Laing married David Gilchrist and their granddaughter Jane Bell Irvine married Robert Younger (c1879) in 1903.  Jane born 1880 Alloa to Jane Gilchrist and David Irvine.  Anyone recognise this Younger and know of their descendants.?  Cheers Evelyn
