I have documentation saying that George Young was born in Bath Somerset 1858. I also have his marriage certificate giving his fathers name as William Young profession Druggist. However I cannot find a William Young anywhere else with this profession. If anyone out there can help me I would be so gratefull, I feel that I have come to a dead end. |

Margaret, William being the father means there is nothing to say he wasn't born in Wiltshire. George is the only one known to be born in Bath. |

But your George already had a brother William, born 1860. |

Quite strange to find another William Young that was a druggist born 1842 Bath there is only 15 years between him and George he could be a sibling. |

I believe that George just didn't know what his father's occupation was, he was so young when he died. |

I believe Ellen Young then married Peter Germain June Q 1866, Bath. |

Yes this is what I thought but what has confused me is that Williams occupation on his marriage certificate is Porter and on his sons (George) marriage certificate his occupation is a druggist. |

I still think this is your George in 1861 and his father had already died. |

Yes this is correct for George but can't find his father William. |

Yes this is George but I can't find his father William. I don't know if he continued living in Somerset or moved when George did. |

Is this him in 1891? |

Not sure where George was in 1881 but he married in 1883 and his address is 94 York Street Westminster London / County of Middlesex. William is not deceased on the marriage certificate. |

Carolyn, when did George marry and where is he in 1881. I can't see one born Bath on the census. |

Does the marriage cert of George say that William is deceased? |

Jim, I have a copy of the marriage certificate between William and Ellen and his profession is definately 'Porter' |

MargaretM | Report | 20 Nov 2007 22:56 |
I disagree, Jim, it's definitely porter. Compare the first letter with the D in daughter. Besides they didn't use the term doctor in those days, it was either physician or surgeon. |

Having looked at the 1851 image, I think it might say Doctor rather than Porter. |
