Personal Notes:

The Young Family is reported to have originated in southern Scotland and the border districts. The Young Family Tree, copies of which have been in possession of the Fox Family for some generations, confirm this. Their estates were forfeited to the English in 1715 after supporting the Stuarts and they immigrated to the West Indies.

At lease two members of the Young family were in the Caribbean during the Napoleonic Wars. One was a Vice Admiral who had served at Copenhagen and in the Battle of the Nile.

It is surmised the Lieutenant - Colonel Isaac Fox met Mary Eliza Young in Jamaica some time between 1806 and 1808 and married.

Mary Eliza was in Liverpool in 1810 when Isaac was lost at sea with apparently, a considerable portion of his wealth.

The Young family continued to keep in contact with Mary Eliza and supported her and her family in Britain, and are said to have influenced young Isaac in the choice of a career in the merchant navy. An Adam Young Junior (presumably Mary's brother) was an executor for CP Chrisp, Mary's second husband and was a witness to the marriage of Eliza Fox (Mary's daughter) to Thomas Lambert in 1840.

The Young family seemed to have some influence and standing in Britain and later in Australia.

See Sir Frederick Young - one time Governor of Tasmania and the article "A Grand Old Colonist" on Charles Burney Young of South Australia.*

Editor's Note: The article on CB Young is included as a schedule at the end of the booklet and gives a good background on the Young family.

Mary Eliza Fox's (nee Young) father was Captain David Young Jnr. The proving of his Will shows his address as the merchant ship "Canada". He died in 1798 at the age of thirty-five, most likely at sea.

David's wife is shown as Bella in his Will. He is described as a master mariner.

His last Will is dated 1788 and his only substantial property was his house at Upper Shadwell in the Parish of St Paul in the County of Middlesex.

David's father, also David, died in 1805 and his address is shown as Bell Dock, Parish of St John, Wapping in the County of Middlesex. His wife Mary (nee Adam), predeceased him. They were married in Scotland. David's (Snr) estate was valued at under 3500 Pounds.

This public tree has about 60,100 people. Every person in the tree is related by birth or marriage to at least one other person in the tree - no strays. The people in the tree come mainly from four projects.

My family tree. The original project begun about 1998. ID numbers less than about 6,000
Canberra and Queanbeyan Pioneers. The next 30,000 begun about 2004. Sourced almost entirely from HAGSOC's excellent 'Biographical Register of Canberra and Queanbeyan'. The project began when I decided to add siblings, spouses and parents for a relation with an entry in the Register. 12 years work.
Wagga Pioneers. I moved to Wagga and thought I would extend the Queanbeyan project by adding people from Wagga Wagga & District Family History Society's 'Pioneers of Wagga Wagga and District'. About 10,300 people added over about a year.
Tumut Valley Pioneers. During the COVID-19 pandemic of 2020, I decided to extend the above projects by adding pioneers of the Tumut Valley. Initial sources were Snowden's 'Pioneers of the Tumut Valley' and 'Relict of ... Lives of Pioneering Women of Tumut and District'. Excellent references published by Tumut Family History Group. I've also added material from newspapers of the time - especially, death records, obituaries and weddings from 'Tumut and Adelong Times'. This project is in its early stage and might take a few years. I plan to extend to the upper Monaro (Adaminaby, Kiandra, Cooma, Jindabyne).

I upload new information to this website about every 3 months. My motivation for these projects is to provide public information for people seeking to trace ancestors and what became of them. Much of the information I provide can be difficult to find.
If you find errors - anything incorrect (dates, places, wrong parents, wrong children), and you have evidence, I would love to fix them. Or, if you have information that would extend my projects, do not hestiate to contact me on the email link below. I do not publish information on living people - which means I'm not much interested in people born after about 1920, and I usually distrust material from before about 1770 without extremely good sources.
