Hendry Martha Wayland 4b 701
Young James Wayland 4b 701

this def looks like the martha hendry i have whom married james young born 1842 however appears she has a sister mary hendry who married a james youngs..... coinsidence cant be same person surely

yes thats def the marriage 25.12.1862

is it possible james young born 1842's father married his wife martha hendrys sister? would mean that she had the same name first name as james's mother

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.

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

But she does appear to be a sister:

ok all looks good what im trying to work out now william hendry is also a son to robert hendry his marriage was put earlier but his not in that census

I think the James young baptism mother is right and it was Susannah and then the father remarried Mary Hendry as found im trying to establish their marriage (james and susannah)

Think this might help explain a few things- James marries in 1844 Watton to Mary Ann Hendry. James was listed as a widower, so it is possible that he was previously married to Susannah.

Mary Ann Hendry was born c1822 in Watton, Norfolk- her father was Robert. This Mary is on the 1851 census with James Young Jnr, and her Hendry siblings.

However, Mary Ann Young (nee Hendry) dies sometime between 1851 and 1859 (there are a couple of possible deaths).

James then remarries in 1859 to MARY MATTHEWS, daughter of Richard Matthews (a gardener).

This is the 1859 marriage:

Name: James Young (widower- Shoemaker)
Spouse: Mary Matthews
Record Type: Marriage
Event Date: 3 Apr 1859
Parish: St John, Hoxton
Borough: Hackney
Father Name: James Young (deceased- Shoemaker)
Spouse Father: Richard Matthews (deceased- gardener)
Register Type: Parish Register
--------------------------------------------------

It is Mary Matthews that is on the 1861 census- explaining why one Mary was born Norfolk and the other one in Devon!

I don't have time to have a proper look now, but this might be Mary Matthews in 1841:

1841 England, Wales & Scotland Census Transcription
Squares Quay, West Alvington, Kingsbridge, Devon, England

Richard Mathews Male 60 1781 Devon, England
Mary Mathews Female 60 1781 Devon, England
William Mathews Male 30 1811 Devon, England
Maria Mathews Female 15 1826 Devon, England
Mary Mathews Female 25 1816 Devon, England

There is this marriage for a James Young to Susannah- and it does appear that these are the parents of the James William Young that was baptised in 1842 Shoreditch- even though the marriage is AFTER the baptism:

Marriage:
Name: James Young (Brush maker of Susannah Row) <<<<<<
Spouse: Susannah George (of Red Lion Street)
Record Type: Marriage

This is the baptism that was put up earlier by Ann:

Thank you i have just been writing all this information down re the above marriage after the birth and baptism i see how and where it ties in was in normal for Susannah to already be calling herself surname young at the baptism even though she wasnt married at that point? normally the father information and surname was as per the maiden name if not married back then wasnt it ?

Thank you all for your help with this im going to re read it all as its so much to take in and fitting together

im confused James senior marries susannah 1843 then mary ann hendry 1844 just a year appart with one in hackney one in watton im unsure ?

i cant find a death for Susannah even though his marriage to mary he is a widower three appear on freebmd but none appear concrete

and also did James young senior really marry 3 women but only have the 1 child (james jnr) its really picking my brain this one

This is why I'm questioning if the James William Young 1842 baptism is correct- on the baptism and marriage to Susannah James senior is a brush maker- but on the next 2 marriages he is a shoemaker.

I'll take another look
