Hi
This is a copy of a reply I replied to posted under the SUbject Greenknowe
Hi,
I have John YOUNG b1795 d 30 Mar 1847
at Greenknowe, Gordon
wife was Elisabeth CURRIE b 1796 England
died East Gordon, Gordon 10 Sep 1871
"Monumental Inscription in St Michael's Churchyard, Gordon
Border Family History Society Publication "MI" for
Gordon, Nenthorn & Westruther # 7", Published1999, isbn 1 874232 04 4
Entry # 129
" In memory of John YOUNG Shepherd Greenknowe who died
30.3.1847 aged 52 years also Elizabeth CURRIE his wife who
died east Gordon 10.9.1871 aged 73 years."
Greenknowe is a farm on the Kelso to Lauder road just north of the village of Gordon.
It is possible that your Adam Edward Young in Charter Towers was aware of relatives
ie Crow or Thorburn.
My wifes aunt was married to a HUNTER in Gordon and thru that the YOUNG/CURRIE
line.
here is what I have for the 1851 Census from SP
"1851 Census Pasrish of Gordon, County of Berwick
30/03/1851 Census, RD; 742/00 002/00 005, Page 5
Dwelling Greenknow (no e in the spelling then) Parish County
Elizabeth YOUNG Head Widow 54 F England
William YOUNG Son U 23 M Shepherd England
Mary YOUNG Daur 13 F Gordon Berwick
Robert T YOUNG Son 11 M Gordon Berwick
Agnes Hall Servt U 18 F Farm Servant Longformacus Berwick"
I hope I can be of some help, we still have a relative in the village.
Yours Aye,
Angus
