Gender: Male
Marriage Date: 17 Feb 1871
Marriage Place: Dundee,Angus,Scotland
Spouse: Ann Harris
FHL Film Number: 6035516


1871 Scotland census: age 20, living with wife Ann and baby Mary in Dundee, working as a lapper.

1881 Scotland Census; ED 20, roll cssct1881_85, household schedule 220, line 22
Jute worker. Age 33, born Dundee, Forfar
No adult woman was listed in this census.  
Address: St. Clement Parish, Dundee, County Angus.
Children  Mary (10), Margaret, (8),  and Ann (4)


1891 Scotland census: age 40, born Dundee, address 3 Derby St, Dundee, worked as a calendar worker (operator of a machine that added a finish to fabrics). Daughter Anna, jute spinner, lived with him and was 14. Registration #282/3, St. Clement District.


First wife was mother of three Maines girls.  Second wife was a cousin, no issue from that marriage.  

Nancy Wallace thought his first name was Robert and that he died in Paterson, but there are no records of his immigration to the US and it is more likely he died in Scotland.   His three daughters all emigrated from Scotland to NY alone without a parent.


Ann Harris

1871 Scotland census: age 17, living in 19 Hospital Wynd, Dundee, born Farfarshire, Dundee, living with husband Robert, 20,  and baby Mary, 1? mo. (both also born Forfarshire, Dundee) in Dundee, working as a millworker. In the same building was her probable mother Ann Harris, 36, married, born Forfarshire, Montrose, head, millworker (spinner), with 3 dau: Margaret 15 (millworker - spinner), Elizabeth 13 (millworker - spinner), Jane 4 (born Blairgowrie, Perthshire).  Source: ED: 31, Household schedule numbers: 25 and 36, lines 3-10;

Birth Place: Dundee,Angus,Scotland

Robert Mains is listed in the 1881 census with his three daughters but no wife, so I assume Ann died between the birth of her daughter Ann in 1877 and 1881.

There is a death notice for Annie Maines, age 25 April-June 1879, but far away in England:

Marriage record
John Young
Gender: Male
Marriage Date: 2 Dec 1857
Marriage Place: Arbroath,Angus,Scotland
Spouse: Jane Crawford
FHL Film Number: 6035516

Note, Andrew Wallace's 8th grade project says that the name of Andrew Young's father was Alexander, born 1829, not John, born 1812.  He has Alexander's father named John Young, born 1811, married to Jane Crawford.  This is not what the census and birth records say.

Because the marriage date to Jane Crawford is after the birth of Elizabeth, I assume there was an earlier wife who was the mother of Elizabeth.  Found a marriage record to Margaret Ritchie; Andrew Wallace's project said John Young was married to Margaret Ritchie; and there was a Mary Ritchie, widow, age 57, born Forfarshire, Guthrie, living next door to John & Jane Young in the 1871 census.
