Find Ancestors

i am trying to find any info on daisy young i am told that she was born in sri lanka, her father was in the british army, his name was james edgar young he married mary mayers who i was told was from sri lanka again her father was in the army and her mother was sri lankan. Daisy young married a henry fly in sri lanka again he was in the army they had children but only 1 survived, the children who died are buried in sri lanka, the child who survived came to england in the early 1940s with her mother and father and settled on the isle of wight. I have info on the fly family but none on the other side at all so any thing would be good.

i beleive that daisey and james married in portmouth as the address on marriage certificate was 100 thomas street portsmouth which i have been told was james' sisters house, they then went back to india

this is so interesting as it is not what has been passes down through the family !!!

Disregard James E Youngs. I shall delete in a second. Found family in 1891 James Youngs still single still armourer. Can't be right one. Sorry. Still hope for Sri Lanka!!!

Right. Back to the drawing board!!! Too wet and cold for anything else tonight anyway. Much better to be huddled round a nice warm computer!!

These could be right family 1881 same address as 1861. No men!

Just wondering. Was James married previously as some of the children on the 1891 census were born well before his marriage to Mary Mayers

I asked my mum if she knew any names and she said daisy had a sister called rose which is prob rosa that you found in the 1901 census and my mum had daisys marriage certificate which had the address of 100 st thomas street which also on census

not sure if he was married before mary mayers !

Strange. I cannot find George F (B1879), James W (B 1878) Mary or James Edgar on 1881 census. Maybe they were off with the army then?

may be that is were thr sri lankan bit came into it then ?
