Sidney or Sydney Young burial -
« on: Wednesday 30 October 24 22:23 GMT (UK) »
Hello Buckinghamshire

I am trying to find out where Sidney or Sydney Young is buried. or his Will

I have found this record on Ancestry - but I don’t think he’s buried in Medmenham.

He was born in Wiltshire, and somehow ended up working as a gamekeeper in Newton Blossomville in Buckinghamshire - where he could have fathered a child.

My 100 year old father’s DNA and speculative family tree seem to imply he could be my dad’s grandfather. It’s an all a bit tricky as my father was adopted. I have a few old trees on Ancestry with him on.

Name: Sidney or Sydney Young
Gender: Male
Death Age: 57
Birth Date: 1836 Wiltshire
Death Date: Approximately 1893
Death Place: Medmenham, Buckingham, England
FHL Film Number: 1967102
Reference ID: item8 Pr145/1/8 p65 cn518

Any thoughts welcome …

Have you looked for him on the 1891 census as there is no death in Bucks 5yrs either side of 1893

1891 he is married to Jane - no children in household.  Married Jane Case in Wiltshire 1.5.1862 father shown as William Young occ labourer

1871 census - 3 children

The Sidney Young b 1836 who died in 1893 died in Henley which is shown as Oxfordshire.  However - the Henley RD also included Bucks

Can't find a burial record online.  He is on the 1851 census with parents William & Ann

Doesn't appear to have left a will but you can search here
