Yes, he's my great great great grandfather. He died in the Workhouse shortly
after the 1901 census. He was born in Rafford, Morayshire on 24th May 1825.
His parents were John Younie (farmer) and Ann Collie. They had at least 12
children. I think they must have been victims of the highland clearances as
most of the older children went to Canada and the USA. Most of the younger
ones went south to England. David married Isabella McDonald in Walker Parish
Church on 1st Jan 1855. I am descended from their daughter Ann Elizabeth,
born 2nd Feb 1856, also in Walker. Ann married William Booth in 1879 in
Middlesbrough, and their daughter Helena Maud, born 1880 in Jarrow, was my
father's grandmother. My father knew her when he was a child. Linthorpe is
now a suburb of Middlesbrough. I was born in Middlesbrough and my parents
still live in the area.
Ann's husband probably died before her father which probably accounts for
him being in the workhouse, as she was still living in the area. I am still
searching for other children.

Is this a general query or is someone else connected?

Elizabeth Green (nee Hogg), now living on the Isle of Man
