Help! I'm trying to find some information about an Anthony Young's (born approx 1829-30 Longhorsley, Northumberland) father. Having acquired a marriage certificate of Anthony & his wife Mary, his father was Robert Young and was a shoemaker by trade. However, trying to find him is next to impossible as Anthony was a servant from the age of 10 in the 1841 census & has never been with his fellow Young siblings.

I have no idea how to proceed and would appreciate any suggestions.

Thanks
Lindsay
