Young Family: Cumberland/Wigton

[LAURIE81]

So I have a conundrum.
I'm researching William Young (1840 approx) born in Wigton, Cumberland.
Father of George Young (14/9/1880-20/12/1951).
I thought he was married twice but I think the wives maybe the same person. Margaret Starkey (1842 approx born in Ireland) and Isabella (1842 approx born in Ireland). I think her name was Margaret Isabella Starkey but interchanged her name between census records. The records of the children make more sense by combining the two women but is their anyway of confirming my conclusion? I'm going round in circles!

If you look at the 1881 entry - his married daughter Mary Isabella Watson b 1861 is in the same household with her son Isaac

Mary Isabella Young's birth registration shows her mothers maiden name as Martin

Marriages June qtr 1861   
YOUNG    William     Whitehaven    10b   821 
MARTIN    Isabella     Whitehaven    10b   821

Look at the 1871 entry

Daughter Ann Jane b 1865 - mmn Martin
Son James b 1871 - mmn Martin

1881 has children William 4 Eliza 2 & George 6mths - their births show mmn Starkey

Marriages September qtr 1875   
 
STARKEY    Margaret     Whitehaven    10b   896      
Young    William     Whitehaven    10b   896

Just to add:
There is a death for a 25 year old Isabella YOUNG registered at Whitehaven in Sep qtr 1874 (10b/422).

Thanks for that folks, i had the Martin information and was convinced there were 2 wives but some of the childrens dates didnt make sense. Maybe need to rethink the dates for the children.

Thank you very much,
