Find Ancestors

Hi I was looking over the records that I have been keeping and wanted to know if someone has the 1861 census for Binbrook Ontario (wentwoth). I am trying to find the William Young that has been linked to the Andrew Young family but still can not pin point how he is linked. William Young died in 1864 but nothing about parents or wife or anything. thanks very much Bev

Have not been able to find the ship that brought them over and no luck with imigration either. It isn't looking very good I am sorry to say..:( Bev

Did you have any luck with their immigration records or ships lists etc? Suzanne

Everything I have....marriages for him as well his sister Agnes says Scotland. The other brother John died young and I still haven't found any information on Margaret. So really there is only Hugh and Agnes as well as Andrew and Mary themselfs to find were they would have come from. Census just says Scotland. Death cert. are not available for that time frame. I did find something in the church records and again it just said Scotland. Land that Andrew and son Hugh bought reads Scotland.... really maddening...LOL Bev

Hi yes that is them....:) is there any mention of birth place for him? other then Scotland? Bv

I have sent away for any records on the families and since it was so long ago. I do have the next generation (oldest son Hugh and his wife and there 13 kids) but I found marriage lic. The three children born here in Canada Andrew James, Mary and Jane. only one lived a long life. Andrew and Mary both died a month or so apart in their early 20's. Jane married and information on her parents are Andrew and Mary both born Scotland....nothing more. Bev

I feel a bit stupid saying this but would the birth certificates in Canada give any more information than the baptism records? I know over here you do get different info on both. Suzanne

no birth cert. I recieved most of the information right from the bapt. records. The church that the family attended keep the records in the library of this small town. I met with a man that let me go through them all. Not as much with the children that were born in Scotland but all the other children I ahve the dates of birth right from the church records. He wouldn't let me photo copy because of the lights but it was amazing to look through them all. Bev

I just thought is there a way to find out the birth date or year of the Andrew Young that married Mary Jackson? if there dates look closer then perhaps I should try and look more into that marriage. thanks Bev

Do you have all the birth certificates for the Canadian children and if so what sort of info do they give? Suzane

He is a farmer. No mention of what he farmed either...:( Bev

Hi its sort of funny too because I just noticed that there is a William Young that has come to light within the last few months and I was thinking perhaps it is another child or an uncle or cousin that came with the family when they came to Canada but perhaps he is a son. His tumb stone reads William Young d: 1864 no mention of s/o or anything so I thought that would be weird why wouldn't that be there if in deed he is a son when Andrew and Mary have it on all their childrens stones. Also another tought perhaps Andrew goes by his middle name like the son that was first born here in Canada. The boy was named Andrew James and all the papers are James Young. Bev

Did Andrew have an occupation in Scotland that you know of? Perhaps you could track him down in Directories and then at least you might have a district?

Georgenia when I saw that the first time I was so excited but again the names almost match but not the dates.... and I am sure the fist chid was born Feb 1839 here in Canada I saw it on the tumb stone. Bev

I spent a lot on the Scotland people a while back and even thought it has a lot of information nothing that all adds up. There is a Mary Jackson that almost fits the part....children the same names and everything but the dates are way out. I was thinking of trying to see if that Mary Jackson who married Andrew Young on 02/12/1831 Died in Scotland? perhaps somthing is there.... but then again a long shot Bev

If the ones Georgina found are the same ones that are on the IGI, 3 of them are to James and Ann and the other one to John and Joan. Kate.

hi thanks for the replies.....:) If that is the same Mary Montgomery then I guess I can cross that of my could be list....LOL the family was in Canada by 1839 for the first child to be born. I have no ideas of were the family was from. I did find a small chance of Blantyre. But again that is a very small chance of that. Any other toughts? thanks Bev

I think this one may rule Mary Dunn out: ISABELLA YOUNG Female -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Event(s): Birth: 19 MAR 1839 Glasgow, Lanark, Scotland Christening: Death: Burial: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Parents: Father: ANDREW YOUNG Family Mother: MARY DUNN Not sure about this next one as it is so long after the Mary Montgomery marriage: ELIZABETH YOUNG Female --------------------------------------------------------------------- Event(s): Birth: Christening: 05 APR 1848 Dumfries, Dumfries, Scotland Death: Burial: ------------------------------------------------------------------ Parents: Father: ANDREW YOUNG Family Mother: MARY MONTGOMERY Anyway, my idea was to try Andrew Young and each different Mary in turn as the parents' names on an IGI search, and these are the only ones it came up with (Isabella also had a brother and sister but I won't bother putting them up). So that leaves the other Marys unaccounted for. The only other idea I have could work out pretty expensive on Scotland's People as it would involve looking for deaths of the other Andrew and Mary Youngs to eliminate them (the death record will give the woman's maiden name in Scotland). But of course if they died before the start of Civil Registration you wouldn't find them that way anyway. Kate.

Can't find any of the children born in Scotland on the IGI, and you have already looked on Scotland's People... can't really think of anywhere else to look unless you know whereabouts in Scotland they were born. Scots Origins is just another way of searching the IGI and you need to know the county for that anyway, so I can't really think of anything. Unless the Canadian records offer any clues... No, just had an idea but I will have to add this message so I can read yours again... Kate.

Hi Bev I wish I could help. Im not that familiar with Scottish ancestory unfortunatley. As you know Hugh's birth year and the area he was born, have you tried to find his baptism records on Scotlandspeople site? Im not sure what information you might get from this but its just a thought. Suzanne
