John Young born 1907 Coldstream

[holly129]

Looking for info on John Young born 1907 Coldstream. His parents were Agnes McKay Wilson and George Young. Looking for a wife for John and if he had children. Info I know is that John died at sea on the HMS Nigeria in 1945. But would like to know if he had a family?  Thank you.
