i also see the two hendry girls share different mothers one can presume the charlotte witness to the james widower marriage in 1844 was robert hendry's second wife

No reason why it couldn't be the same person - Mary could have died, and then he married Martha, who may not necessarily be a sister.

(Baptisms also on above)

yer im really unsure :-S :-S

If you note the baptism of James William- it gives mother as Susannah Ann- so, it is either the wrong James Young, or James senior married again (after the birth of James)?

id of really thought the marriage of james seniors parents jame and mary would of been before his birth to be honest i have mary as being from devonshire im very confused :-S

Ah so the marriage with Mary ann hendry is actually the parents of james jnr however the wedding is after james's birth?

Ok im confused i have here from family notes that james born 1842 married martha hendry on 25.12.1862 i have the town wattan (on) but unsure if this is marriage or birth

James in 1881:

1881 England, Wales & Scotland Census Transcription
64, Nevill Road, Stoke Newington, Hackney, London, England

James Young Head Married Male 38 1843 Master Boot Maker Emp: 1 Man Shoreditch
Martha Young Wife Married Female 41 1840 - Watton, Norfolk, England
James R Young Son Single Male 18 1863 Paperhanger Journeman Watton, Norfolk,
Frances E Young Daughter Single Female 11 1870 Scholar Middlesex, England
Frederick W Young Son Single Male 9 1872 Scholar Stoke Newington, Middlesex,
Alice M H Young Daughter Single Female 6 1875 Scholar Middlesex, England
Florence M Young Daughter Single Female 4 1877 Scholar Middlesex, England
Walter Young Son Single Male 2 1879 - Middlesex, England
Mary Young Mother Widow Female 63 1818 Laundress Devon, England
Emma Syrett Visitor Married Female 43 1838 Dressmaker Cambridge, Cambridgeshire

there is definitely something odd! James married a Hendry, but it looks as thought his Mum was a Hendry going by that 1851?? :-S

Mary Ann in the 1851 census which I posted, was born in Watton, Norfolk - not Devon.

It does look like the right family, though, as there are Hendry's in the same household. (brother-in-law and sister-in-law).

James senior isn't on the record, but seems to be assumed to be the head of the household, as none of the rest of them are "Head". Mary Ann is "wife".



EDIT:
Or am I getting the generations mixed up ? I'm confused!

ok im taking all the census's in now james young did mary martha hendry and they def had a james together but ive not got an eliz(a) down i have a frances middle initial E so possibly this one born around 1870 looks like they adopted a child too
