Have you got the birth certificate of the son, Alfred Dollar Young? This might give some clues as to where the name Young comes from.

Bear with me please as this gets complicated.
Violet Lydia Lucy Amelia Dollar (my grandmother), was born in 1902 in Stockbridge

Her parents on the birth certificate are show as Edgar Dollar and Lucy Dollar(formerly Newman)

Edgar was born in 1849 in Stockbridge

I have found Edgar and Lucy and their children on the 1901 census in Stockbridge and 1891 census in Lambeth. Edgar was single and in a workhouse in 1881

Lucy is shown as Edgar's wife on the census returns but I have never found a marriage

On her death certificate in 1909 she is shown as Lucy Dollar Young aged 47 and her death was recorded by her son Alfred Dollar Young

I have a marriage certificate dated 1906 showing an Edward William Newman (otherwise known as Dollar] marrying a Florence Isaacs

Lucy also had a baby 1879, Edith Florence Newman (born in the workhouse and no father shown)

I have never found a marriage between Dollar and Newman and have tried searching Dollar/Young marriage and Newman/Young marriages but haven't been able to find any

Can anyone suggest where I can go next?

Many thank for taking the time to read this
