Youngs of Cockermouth

[Camelot2]

Hi everyone, I am hoping that someone can assist me please. My grandma Violet Telford, formerly Young, had a father called Henry Young and his wife, her mother, called Sarah, they had 13 children, yes 13! They lived down I think Horseman Street, Gas Row area, my gran moved to Keswick, and married Sydney Telford, my grandfather. I think my great grandfather had something to do with horses? Any information would be much appreciated, thank you. Henry (aka) Harry.

Welcome to Rootschat Henry 

To put a date for starters, this is the marriage ref. for the couple.

When did Violet die?  There are 3 or 4 possible deaths in Cumbria for that name.  The only census entry I can find has father Henry but mother is Jane - not Sarah

Do you have the names of any of her siblings?

1911 entry

If that is the right family Violet was b 26.7.1908 and died 1989

This looks like Sydney's birth registration going by the 1939 Register

TELFORD, SYDNEY       BOLGER

Looks like Sydney is living with his grandfather in the 1911 at 2 Heads Lane Keswick, Keswick, Cumberland

William Telford born 1856, widower, Cumberland, pencil maker black lead
Helen Adamson Telford born 1877 daughter, Cumberland
Derwent Telford born 1892 son, fishmonger, Cumberland.

Violet Young born Sep 1908 Cockermouth has mothers maiden name Milligan if that was she.

Marriage Sep 1895
Henry Young
Jane Milligan

So we have a mother Jane not Sarah as CaroleW has noted.

I think this is probably Sydney's parents marriage

Marriages Mar 1906


BOLGER    Elizabeth        Cockermouth    10b   833
Telford    Fred        Cockermouth    10b   833

[CaroleW]

That birth reg matches the birthdate on death reg 26.7.1908

Henry Young married Jane Milligan in Cockermouth in 1895.
This ties in with the mmn for the children in the GRO index.
