I am looking for information on, or relatives of, Petty Officer Stoker William Young of HMS Redstart. Died 24th December 1941 in the defence of Hong Kong aged 32. Wife, Margaret Young, nee Kerr.
William and Margaret are registered at 8 St James Terrace, Selby. But I think originated in Co. Durham. His parents were George and Edith Young.
