Were Peter's parents James Young and Alison Thompson. Another site has different parents for the Peter who married Agnes Lugton. thanks

Have you viewed his death registration to check what it says about his parents?

Is this his death in 1900?

PETER YOUNG
Age 71
Mother's maiden name THOMSON
1900
735 / 34
Duns, Berwickshire

When did Agnes Lugton die?

There are two deaths showing on www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk

AGNES YOUNG
Age 60
Mother's maiden name GILBURN
1897
727 / 14
Ayton, Berwickshire

or

AGNES YOUNG
Age 77
Mother's maiden name PURVES
1907
735 / 17
Duns, Berwickshire

Probably best to view his death registration to confirm details on SP.

Agnes's death in 1907 it seems.

From the National Probate Index (Calendar of Confirmations and Inventories), 1876-1936, it shows:

Name Agnes Lugton Young
Death Date 19 Apr 1907
Death Place Duns
Confirmation Date 26 Aug 1907
Confirmation Place Duns, Scotland

Her son, James Young living at Teviot Cottage, Duns is named as the executor to her will.

This looks to be either birth or christening details for the Peter you mention:

PETER YOUNG
Parents JAMES YOUNG/ALLISON THOMSON
07/09/1828
734 30 / 43
Cranshaws, Berwickshire

With mother's maiden name showing as Thomson on Peter's death registration, this looks a likely entry for Peter.

Five other entries for possible siblings with these parents showing in the Old Parish Registers on SP.

It looks as if James Young died in Stenton in 1863. Death certificate should give parents names. SP Index shows mother as "WOOD", but I wonder if this is his baptism …..

YOUNG   JAMES    Father - WILLIAM YOUNG      17/JUNE/1799   EAST BARNS ASSOCIATE

3 other children baptised in same church 1795 – 1804
(Certificates needed to confirm)


Marriage of parents?
YOUNG   WILLIAM       to     ANN WATT    (FR954)   06/06/1794   711   30 / 387   INNERWICK

[Neale1961]

1861 census for James Young infers he is still married, but no sign of his wife Alison after the 1851 census.

There is a likely death for her in 1855 Whittingehame (which is where they are living in 1851 census)
YOUNG   ALISON   61   mother - PATTERSON   F   1855   724 / 5   WHITTINGEHAME
THOMSON   ALISON   61   mother - PATTERSON   F   1855   724 / 5   WHITTINGEHAME
(Certificate needed to confirm)


Baptism for Alison Thompson?
THOMPSON   ALISON   
parents JAMES THOMPSON / JANET PATERSON   (FR114)
 02/08/1795             727   10 / 105   AYTON

(I would not be surprised to find the mother was actually "Margaret" Paterson - "Janet" being an error on the register?)

(I would not be surprised to find the mother was actually "Margaret" Paterson - "Janet" being an error on the register?) Is the only reason for this because she named her daughter Margaret too?
