Kathryn B, no I haven't got the m/c, Trying to get a bit more info before spending out any more money, tend to jump in with both feet and end up barking up the wrong tree. My dad says that he comes from a naval background but how far back we don't know.
At the moment we are going with William Francis Young married to Ellen Bush. Do you know of any way I can find out the occupation of William.

Hi Carolyn -- have you got his marriage certificate?

Name: William Francis Young
Year of Registration: 1848
Quarter of Registration: Oct-Nov-Dec
District: Bath
County: Avon, Somerset
Volume: 11
Page: 4

Married Ellen Bush

That would give you his father's name, hopefully, and you might then identify him in the 1841 census.

Geograpically, the one in Walcot in 1841 might be a good guess:


Name: William Young
Age: 14
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1827
Gender: Male

Civil Parish: Walcot
Hundred: Bath Forum
County/Island: Somerset
Country: England
Registration district: Bath
Sub-registration district: Lansdown

Household Members:

Dorcas Barnett 15
Frances Betten 20
Jenny Carr 20
Louisa Dickinson 15
Anna Slug 20
Caroline Young 8
David Young 2
George Young 50
George Young 15
Henry Young 11
John Young 10
Julian Young 13
Mary Young 40
Mary Young 15
Samuel Young 5

Head of household George is shown as "army", not born in county.
