Thanks Peter'
You are totally on the right track . I have some of the info but you have come up with a few very interesting extras. I am related to the Sarah Young and George Shields branch of the family but funily enoughthe information I had gained from others shed little light on the size of the Young family and the several links to the Shields clan.
My biggest unsolved puzzle at the moment is how and when John Young came to Australia. I have found that he was born in Malton in Yorkshire in about 1839. I can't find any useful records that show if he came here as a child with his parents or arrived as a young adultand soon married Sarah Ann Docherty whose parents had arrived in South Australia in 1840 on the Dauntless.
Thanks again
Please keep in touch if you find anything or can give me a clue where to go next!
Bye for now Ron R
