Now those Youngs are looking like they may have a connection to mine-Newbattle is where my Andrew Young was born & he had a whole swathe of siblings.They were mainly miners & ag labs although he ended up as a gardener & lived to a ripe old age.
Will plow through what I have & get back.

Hi Liberty,

just had a brain storm!!! if your Helen simpson is the same as mine her mother was called Elizabeth Simpson and her father was not James but Andrew Simpson they were both deceased when Helen Simpson married James Young.......so do you now think that my Helen is not the same one as yours??

Both sets of parents where living in Newbattle.

Helen & James married on 1st Jan 1863

If you gave me more to go on i could maybe find some info for you.

Just by sheer accident i was doing some work on my own family history and i have discovered Helen Simpson and James young on a marriage licence for their Son Mr Robert young and Miss Mary Riley in 1876
Does Helen Have an (S ) in the middle of her name???? If she has i bet you it stands for (Stevenson) not quiet the name you would have thought that would be given to a female.......im itching for you to find something

Hi Liberty, Have you found anything yet??

Hello Helen,

thanks for your message, I havent had the much time and dont really think there is anything else I can do unless I go to parish records in Scotland.

I also need to try the Merchant navy records for James Simpson as he was recorded as Sea Captain in 1866 on his daughters marriage certificate. this may give me some information about his wife and where they lived.

Many thanks for your interest

will let you know if I get any further, it does get frustrating and I am very eager about family history, I find it fasinating.

Liberty.
