William Young Mary Townley who were Williams parents?

[LianneY]

I forgot to then follow on with John Youngs father William Young.
He married Mary Townley. I have tried to ammend the subject line in the original message as it reads Towney without the L.
All I know of these two so far are the dates.....
William Young 1792-1849
Mary Townley 1795-1850

[LianneY]

Is this the lineup;
William Young = Mary Towney
Son:
John Young = Sarah Weaver
Dau:
Martha Ellen Young
Son:
John Young = Janet Hackesley
Son:
John Young = Sarah Weaver.

Yes Jim, you have it. I just took for what seemed like forever typing that out below! He he.
The name Townley has an L. My predictive changed it to Towney.

No I haven't. My subscriptions expired before I got to finding out anything about them......

How does this searcg fit with fact that John who married Janet has father unknown on his marriage?

I can see an adopted child on1881 who;d fit the bill

Yes, he was recorded as adopted child. His birth mother was Martha Ellen. She gave birth to him before marrying her husband George Leishman. George must have taken John on as his own adopted child.
I have Johns birth certificate to confirm his mum.
She was a servant at the time of Johns birth.
I also found a John Young of the same age on the census living with Matilda Hassall but just can't link this to my family tree unless she was looking after him whilst his mum Martha Ellen was at work.

OK - I;d misread it as his father being John Young, not his grandfather.

Following back I can see John, Martha's father, b c1827 in Manchester. On 1861 he has sister Augusta b c1840, also in Manchester with him (definitely him - he has Weavers living with him). This leads me to this on 1841, in Blackburn St.  all listed as born in county.

I think I may have got the Scottish link from the Leishman family. The names you have mentioned are all right!
