Young Family Channelkirk/Midlothian 1824/1826

This was posted in amongst other things on Kirk Yetholm area message board but I don't want it getting lost so thought I'd post here and see if anyone recognises any names.
I'm trying to find out more about Robert Young:-

Re: Robert Young


OPR Births Channelkirk 1824/1826

Young James, Hind in Netherhouden, and Mary Liddel his wife, had a son born on the 19th day of November 1824 and baptized 23rd January 1825, called Robert Young.

Now all I need to do is find out if Robert lived long enough to marry, have children and die - in that order!

His siblings were:
James (my gg-gf) b.1826 d.1905 m. Ann Shiel
Janet b.1828
Thomas b.1830
Jean b.1832
Mary b.1834
Marion b.1836
Agnes b.1838
Christopher b.1840
William b.1842
George b.1845

 
Father James, by then a shepherd, (parents Robert Young & Jane Murdoch) died soon after George was born (hence no more children!) unfortunately too soon for a death cert though so no idea where he died etc.
Although they were living at Humbie East Lothian at the time, but a search 5 years ago turned up with nothing on him, no burial located etc & haven't looked since.
Mother Mary (parents James Liddel & Janet Brackenridge) lived to a ripe old age of 96 when she died in Dumfries at her daughter Marions home. Marion married a James McGeorge.  I don't know anything more about her.



There is another Robert Young on the printout (which I think my mum got on SP) he was born on 24th July 1826 in Huntershall to Thomas Young (Shepherd) and Joan Whitson. I think I will check Thomas out now as a possible brother to James my gg-gf (parents Robert Young & Jane Murdoch).
If anyone recognises these names or can offer advice then please reply.
I do use Scotland's People and also the IGI and FreeCen.



Our ancestors didn't want to make this too easy for us did they!!  Smiley

Hi Templar, many thanks for the info, I think it was you who sent me a pic of the gravestone a while ago, it seems that the stone should be connected to my family as both Young and Breckenridge figure in the line, but I haven't yet confirmed it.  Thanks again though and I will look into it as much as I can.
All the best, Elaine

Cheers.

Not sure if this is help or hindrance to you but I have a Marion Young who is my great great grandmother born 1830 in Oldhamstocks. Her parents were Robert and Mary (nee Lothian).

Doesn't look like could be directly connected but may be cousins given the name Marion appears in your line too. Though once you start looking at cousins as well as direct ancestors......

[Elmca]

Thanks name doesn't ring a bell but will check it out as you never know!!

Hi portybelle,

                    could be connected somewhere along the line, my side were also from East Lothian Prestonkirk, Tranent then Lasswade and Loanhead, we came fromthe Tait's, Bourhil, Wood's and Crookston's, and a multitude of others, I am related to Jackie Crookston who was killed in the Tranent Massacre in 1792.

Are you from Portobello Midlothian ?.

Cheers.

Archie. 

[portybelle]

From Leith originally but Portobello for the last thirteen years or so.

[Templar75]

I was brought up at Coillesdene in Joppa then we moved to up near the Kings Buildings and now at Gilmerton. I loved Portobello a great wee place, I was educated at St. Johns and all my pals went to Portobello high.

My dad and all his family were born at Pipe Street sadly the houses have all gone.

Cheers.

Archie.
