Interesting - there are two births for an Elizabeth, one also with mother maiden name Francis. I wonder if the baby and mother died and he remarried, giving the next baby the same name? (see next post)

I think the second Elizabeth is from the marriage of Thomas Young and Elizabeth Fisher who married in 1844. They also had a some James in 1846.

How do you know that your John married twice?

Hi

John Young married Harriet Francis Sept 21st 1839, they were bachelor & spinster. Father's Daniel Young & Richard Francis. Son Henry was baptised Nov 17th 1840 to parents John & Harriet. Perhaps a mistake in her name on the 1841 census. :-\

Hi,
In case you don't have them, there are 3 burials which may be relevant in
Letcombe Regis;

4-10-1880 Henry Young (aged 38)
5-4-1883   Harriet    "     (   "    59)
5-9-1896   John       "     (   "    81)

I looked but didn't find any marriages for Henry in LR.
