Who is the Nephew of Jessie Sugden nee Anderson?

[KitCarson]

Death notice in the Scotsman recorded Stanley's parents as the late Mr & Mrs J. W. D. Young, 95 Harrison Road, Edinburgh. He was apparently a laundry proprietor (likely Braid Laundry). There was a John W. D. Young at 95 Harrison Road in 1927. A Mrs Elizabeth Young of 95 Harrison Road died in 1950. So, marriage:

YOUNG

BRYCE
ELIZABETH

1899

giving two possible birth entries (perhaps a later child named after an infant death):

Are this Young group red herrings, perhaps?

Great find! Not sure how to go about getting certificates etc but will give it some thought.

As the marriage only took place on 30 Sept 1915 she must have been heavily pregnant by the birth on 10 November.

Thanks for flagging this.  Unfortunately there are plenty of 'Anderson' and 'Young' in the borders but worth checking out when I can get to the ScotlandPeople Centre.  I'll need to make a list!

Apologies for not reading your previous thread!

I was wondering if this could mean that Margaret and John Walter Young had a child...


"Dependent: Wm Anderson (F in L) Guardian"

Excited by that and wonder if it is the James Young that Wilcoxon found

[PatLac]

I wonder if John Walter Young (aka Walter John Jeanes) could have remarried after Margaret's death in 1917? If he did and had children, one of them would be a candidate for Jessie's nephew. The problem is where did he go after he returned from Canada? I see in his military files that the intended place (after discharge) was 49 Falcon Gardens, Edinburgh. Is there any evidence of him in Scotland after his discharge? I know he wouldn't be her true nephew, but..


I don't have access to Ancestry, have you checked a James Anderson Young, born in Ontario in the  "Ontario, Canada Births, 1832-1917 Birth, baptism & christening" collection? (narrowing down the DOB it seems he was born in 1915)

Maybe he is the reason why Margaret returned to Scotland and why her father was his guardian.

I suppose I've found him first  but wilcoxon found his details. I'm in Brazil, English is not my native language and I don't have access to most UK records.

[KitCarson]

Sorry if I missed that PatLac.  So much information to work through.  I should be more organised 

I'm envious of you all who can work through information methodically.  However, please keep these thoughts/finds coming

[PatLac]

Haha no worries, I'm more obsessed than methodical 

[KitCarson]

From Ancestry - Births County of Dundas/Division Mountain 1915 Birth registration for James Anderson Young so they definitely had a child soon after marriage.

What great people you all are 

[PatLac]

So... he is Jessie Sudgen's nephew who was the informant of her death. How exciting 

Now I want to know what happened to John Walter Young
