Where are my Scotish Cousins?
« on: Saturday 06 August 05 01:03 BST (UK) »
Hello Everyone,

I'm new to this board and have just spent hundreds of credits and the last month on www.scotlandspeople website, finding my ancestors. Now, I would love to find some cousins  :D

SO HERE ARE MY YOUNG'S

My 2nd G-grandfather was Charles YOUNG b.10 Jun 1847 in Forfarshire, Lethnot, Scotland, the son of Alexander YOUNG & Agnes SMART. Charles Young died in Brechin on 1 Jul 1933. He Married Isabella TRAILL b. Mar 1847, daughter of James TRAILL & Jane CARNEGIE on 10 Jun 1870.  Isabella died in Brechin on 11 Dec 1914.

Charles Young & Isabella Traill had the following children:

James Young b.22 Oct 1870, Dun, Forfar- came to Canada
Alexander Young b. 15 May 1872, Kinell, Forfar - died in teens?
Charles Young (My G-grandfather)b. 6 Jan 1874, Kinnoull, Perth - came to Canada.
Jane Carnegie Young b. abt 1876, Kinnoull, Perth - she stayed in Scotland and married a Alexander Law LONGMUIR
Helen (Nellie) Young b.abt 1876, Menmuir, Forfar - she stayed in Scotland and according to my Aunt she may have married a PHILLIPS and had 3 children, Nellie, Bella & Philip. (I found no info on Scotlandspeople regarding her marriage)
John(Jack) Young b. abt 1880, Menmuir, Forfar - came to Canada
Agnes Young b.abt 1882, Menmuir, Forfar - stayed in Scotland, and again according to my Aunt she may have married a GIBSON.(I also found no info on Agnes' Marriage)
William Young b.abt 1884, Menmuir, Forfar died at 15 of Measles
David Young b.abt 1885, Menmuir, Forfar - came to Canada
George Monroe Young b.abt 1887, Menmuir, Forfar died at 21yrs
Bella Mollison Young b. 17 May 1889, Menmuir, Forfar - she was the only daughter that came with her brothers to Canada.
Edward Young b. abt 1893, Menmuir, Forfar - came to Canada

I have alot of information on the children that came to Canada, but basically nothing on the ones that stayed in Scotland.  Charles Young Sr. came to Canada a few times to visit, but Isabella his wife never came.   I have a few family photo's that were sent here to Canada to my G-grandpa Charles from his family in Scotland, but we have no idea who they are.  Would love to find out, and exchange information.

I am also interest in the TRAILL family and will post that info in a separate post.

Desperately seeking cousins!
