Having a common surname is certainly a drawback in this instance! I am trying to find details of my great grandfather JOHN YOUNG. According to his marriage certificate (31 May 1896) to Mary Ann Spooner, and the 1901 England Census it would seem he was born in April or May 1867 in Finchley (according to Census). His father was also a John Young. He was deceased by 1918, possibly in WW1.
His children with Mary Ann were John (1897), Edward (1899), Minnie (1902), Joseph (1905) as well as Ellen, Mark, Denis and Dorothy. As of the marriage date he was living at 103 Axe Street, Barking.
As I am a Young myself I am keen to be able to trace John's birth and parents, especially as I have managed to do so with all other branches of my family tree!
