Ladykirk Tenant farmer Young- 1815-1822
« on: Monday 03 September 12 16:56 BST (UK) »
I am in search of information on the tenant farmer at Ladykirk during the period of approx. 1815 to 1822?

My great-great grandmother, Ann Young Wilson, was "an orphan raised by her uncle, farmer Young tenant of Ladykirk' - quoted from 'John Clay: A Scottish Farmer (1906)

Ann Young Wilson's father was Charles Wilson and her mother was 'Ann'  I would venture to guess 'Ann' was Ann Young.

Ann Young Wilson was born approx. 1811 per the 1841 England Census.   Ann Young Wilson married John Clay 11 Oct 1822.

I am looking to establish the date and place of birth of Ann Young and the identity of her brother- the tenant farmer at Ladykirk around 1815 to 1822.

I appreciate any help with this ;)

Can you confirm the birth and marriage years  ???
Ann does look a bit too young to have married in 1822

Added - different couples perhaps ?

Ann would have been 25 years of age at the time of her marriage to John Clay.

The record of their marriage:
11/10/1822 Clay, John [OPR Marriages 757/00 0020 0114 Whitsome and Hilton]

"1822 Oct 11Mr. John Clay Tenant in
Dykethead in the Parish of Whitsom
and Miss Ann Wilson in the Parish of Ladykirk"

Ann Young Wilson would have to have been born in 1797 because she had twin siblings born 11 Oct 1796- a brother William and a sister Isabel.

I have located the records for 16 Oct 1796, Wilson [OPR Births 676/00 0020 0072 Cockpen] which lists:
 
"William & Isabel, twins lawfull children to Chalres Wilson and
Ann Young his spouse was born in Mill (?) hulin (?)
the 11 Octr and Baptized 16: 1796- - - -."

I don't know if the twins survived and if so, if they too were raised by their uncle, the tenant farmer at Ladykirk.

Based on the records for Ann Young Wilson for after her mariage to John Clay- it is safe to say that Ann was born in 1797... so the age works.

Do you know where I could obtain a list of the tenant farmers at Ladykirk for circa 1795 to 1825?

A list of the tenant farmers at Ladykirk between 1795 to 1825 would give me a list of individuals to research- especially useful given that I would only be looking for tenant farmers named Young.

I would be grateful for any help ;-)

Does her death record confirm her parents names and her age?
