Mary Adamson Young

[dark blue]

I am seeking any information on Mary Adamson Young who emigrated to Winnipeg in the early 1900's and a relative believes that she subsequently married a doctor named Robin? McCardle (presumed spelling).

Mary was born in Byker, Newcastle upon Tyne, England 20 Sept 1879. Her parents were James Barrie Young and Jane Walker Hogg. At the time of the Scottish 1891 Census Mary was living with her family at Ayton in Berwickshire, Scotland. There is no verified record of her in the UK after that date but she may have been in domestic service in Edinburgh at the time of the 1901 Scottish Census.

I have no information on which year Mary left the UK and I have checked the 1911 Canadian census but cannot identify her. There is a Manitoba marriage record which shows that a Robert Joseph McCardle married a Marie Adamson Young at Brenda on the 23 Nov 1915. I think that Marie may be a transcription error. The record is very brief and has no residence or parents details on it.

Any information on Mary's life in Canada would be appreciated

Hi,

Have you considered that as Brenda, Manitoba is only a few miles from North Dakota Mary might have moved to the United States with her new husband?
If he was a doctor he should be traceable through a medical society or college.

Good hunting.

If you order the actual registation from Manitoba Vital Statistics it will have more information. There are instructions at the sie on how to order it and it costs $10.

I tried to find the couple on the 1916 census of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta but no luck so far.
