Can be of help to you on this ... "your" Robt Young was my late father's gt.gt. grandfather, an innkeeper/vintner, who had 2 wives. (my father descended from the 1st marriage to Christian Laing/Lang) Said Robt Young when widowed took 2nd wife, Jean(Jane) Hosie (Hossie) -- married her on Dec 19,1820, Denny area. Robt. died on/before May 27, 1838. His Will discusses both wives & children by name. [ Via 1st wife were Robt Jr (b.1802 & my ancestor) , Charles + daughters Christian & Mary.] Via 2nd wife were James, Geo, Wm, Andrew + in Codocil to Will he adds John b. 1836 - those names given by birth order. Believe Andrew migrated to Australia before 1854? Do you descend from him?
Existing Scottish records, show Jane/Jean Hosie/Young died age 79, Oct 18.1879, & had then resided with son James, at Craigmellan, Albert Road, Pollokshields, in Dist of Kinning(?), in County of Lanark..... [Her parents were James Hosie/Hossie, a master mason of Knowhead (Aberdeensh?) and James' wife Jane Hosie This 2nd wife of Robt, in census 1841 turns up recorded as Jane Young - innkeeper @ Loanhead - living with son Geo aged 15 + 2 hired help named Buchanan and Stevenson.
Unfortunately am absolutely stuck on Robert Young's details over his parents & where he born or names of his siblings. My late father was born 1908 in Scotland, but he & his siblings now all gone - a lot of ancient letters & documents seen when I was a child but long gone now.
Am trying to trace Robert Young, innkeeper but cannot find much before birth of his son Robert in 1802, via 1st wife Christian Laing. Given this ancestor of my side, born 1802,
likely "your/my" Robert Young was married the first time around 1800, so his birthdate
could be back around 1760-70-80, making him 20-40 years old at first marriage.
