I am trying to find any relatives or imformation on ofthe youngs from Glasgow from 1890 onwards.

Especially

Jessie Young born 1899
Annie young 1900
Frank young 1901

There parents were James Young b1870 the mothers name was Elsie i do not have a madien name for her.

The above James Young is my great grandfathers brother.

I would like to make you all aware that there is a gathering of all the clans on the 25-27th july in Edinburgh. Each clan will have family imformation, and may offer genetic testing and be able to offer clan geneoligist contact.

There are thousands of people coming from home and abroad to be at this event.

Be attending you may find valuable imformation to help you with your family tree.

Anyone wishing imformation on the gathering or the Young clan are welcome to contact me.

I do hope many of you do take the oppertunity to attend.

regards

Hello Anne. I have been reading your posts today, and thought that the surname Young was hiding somewhere in my tree. A bit of digging has come up with the following.

My 3x gt grandmother, Margaret McAllister, married John Pender, a widower, 2/12/1849, West Maryston, Old Monkland. Margaret is given as residing in barony Parish.
I have Margaret in 1841 census, living with her parents, Angus and Isobel, and brother Alexander. They are living at what looks like Gartsherrie, Old Monkland.
When I later find Margaret's death,1906, I see that Isobel McAllister, Margaret's mother, was Isobel Young, before marrying. Isobel would have been my 4x gt grandmother.
Just thought that it would be of interest.

Regards

Gail
