But I think it might be worth checking the 1910 for Charles, Emily and the children, since they're nowhere to be found on the E/W census in 1911.

I've got to go out! But I'll be back!

I would have thought that if Joanna came back from the USA say 1912ish she would have been old enough to remember and probably talk about it in later life. Moog have you contacted the Lawless family? They might just have memories of being told about the USA if this had happened.

We just don't know.
I've found a Charles Young who served in the Boer War, but not ours, pity.

igi have a africa section

We don't know that Charles Young father of Sidney served in the Boer War.

We know that Sidney's parents were registered in 1909 as Charles Young, and Emily, nee Wheeler.

We know that there was a Charles Young who married an Emily Wheeler in Liverpool 5 years after Sidney's birth in Bath, and that he was a West Lancs reservist who appears to have had a previous engagement in the army before signing up for the Special Reserve in August 1914. We don't know for sure that this is the same couple as Sidney's parents. Charles's age is wrong when compared with his death registration; the civilian occupation (general labourer) is wrong when compared to children's birth certificates; none of the children are mentioned in the army papers that we can find

[jaywit]

Shaun I think somewhere it says that Charles occupation on the marriage and Sidney and Dorothy's birth certificates is the same -  slater.
I think that is buried somewhere on the first thread, and although I think it says labourer on the WW1 service record the address he gave was the same as the marriage certificate.

[ShaunJ]

The marriage cert has him as Private Charles Young of the Royal Welsh Fusiliers, occupation slater

You are right Jaywit. That would appear to clinch it! I will get back in my box now.
