5 William YOUNG c1773-1862

|

m Frances BAYLIS 1806 |
|
|
|
William was born about 1773 probably in or near Kirtlington. He married Frances BAYLISS there when he was 33 and became a butcher. William and Frances baptised eight children at Kirtlington between 1807 and 1826 while William continued as a butcher in the village. Around 1851 they moved for a short while to the neighbouring parish of Bletchingdon, but were back in Kirtlington by 1861. They both lived to old age, William died in 1862 aged 89; Frances died in 1875 aged 93. They were buried in the same grave in Kirtlington churchyard where their gravestone still stands. Their unmarried son John became a butcher like his father and lived with them throughout their lives. |

According
to the 51 and 61 census, William was born in 1772 or 1773 in Kirtlington. His death certificate and burial register
age gives a birth year of 1774. The 41
census gives a birth range of 1781-86 and it seems likely to be in error by 10
years (ie age should be 65 not 55); his gravestone gives an age 5 years greater
than his death certificate, giving a birth year of 1769. The most reliable estimate then is
c1773. There are only two possible
baptisms at Kirtlington:
C
8Oct1769 William s Thomas & Dorothy YOUNG
C 28Apr1777 William s Thomas & Dorothy
YOUNG
It seems
certain that the first William died, as there is a suitable burial at
Kirtlington. The second William could
be William-5 but there is a second William burial just 10 weeks after this baptism,
and it is possible that this William died also.
B
1Dec1769 William YOUNG
B 18Jul1777 William YOUNG
The
mother, Dorothy, died in 1812; she was comparatively wealthy, and her will
mentions two daughters Elizabeth and Mary, and Mary's natural son William. Her eldest son Richard died before her. She had another son Thomas not mentioned in
her will and he may also have died before her, as there are Thomas YOUNG
burials at Kirtlington in 1782 and 1791. The failure to mention William or his children is not conclusive
but the name Dorothy does not occur in William's descendants. It seems probable therefore that Thomas and
Dorothy’s son, William, was buried in 1777 and is not William-5
On the
other hand, Thomas’ grandfather (1667-1740) and brother (1733-1811) were both
named William, and were both butchers of Kirtlington (as shown by various
documents relating to land leases etc shown below). It seems reasonable to suppose that William-5, succeeding them as
a butcher of Kirtlington, was related in some way:

The first William
was a man of property as he was involved in numerous land leases from 1701 to
1728. He died in 1740, and in his will
he left everything to Thomas & Ann YOUNG and their children Thomas &
William, though no relationship was stated in the will. A document of 1744 however proves that these
children were his grandsons. This
grandson William was the second butcher, also a man of property involved in
known land transactions from 1758 to 1789.
It seems
reasonable to assume that William Young-5, also a butcher of Kirtlington, was
related to these previous two.
Moreover there is a known (indirect) connection with their family. Mary's illegitimate son William, is almost certainly
the farmer William who appears in the 1841 and 1851 census with Hannah BAYLISS
as his servant. Hannah is the sister of
Frances who married William-5. Both
Hannah and Frances came from the rather distant parish of Tysoe in Warwick. However this does not prove a family
connection between the two William YOUNG's.
Hannah was the younger, and perhaps Frances obtained her servant's
position for her; or perhaps they both came to Kirtlington as servants, but
only Frances married. A witness at the
m of William-5 to Frances was W YOUNG which might be farmer William, Mary’s
illegitimate son.
But if
William is connected to the family of Thomas & Dorothy, was he Dorothy’s
son C1777 as discussed above, or perhaps son or even grandson of Thomas’
brother William? This William was
baptised in 1733 at Kirtlington and was probably alive in 1789, the last known
land transaction. There is a burial at
Kirtlington after this date, 10May1811, giving him an age of 78 at death. Unfortunately there is no evidence that he
was married or had children. There is a
possible marriage at nearby Kidlington (4miles)

B 21Aug1769 Mary YOUNG
C 13Oct1773 Hannah d William & Mary YOUNG
but this
baptism of William in 1764 is really too early to be William of Kirtlington (he
would be 98 at death)
there is
another possible marriage at Charlton
m 22Apr1765 William YOUNG & Alice x
HOWLET; w: Ann BROOKS Ann KIRBY Edmund RICE [fw]
but no
children of this m known; three other marriages at Charlton about this time are
of Ann, Hannah, & Sarah YOUNG; the brides were all of Fencott which is just
I mile from Kirtlington.
Another
curiosity is that both Thomas & Dorothy and William-5 named their first son
Richard; Thomas’ father is known to be William, but there was a tradition of
eldest son Richard in the family (see tree TK). Richard & Hannah YOUNG baptised Lydia at Kirtlington in 1766
having previously baptised Mary at nearby Charlton in 1765, but this Richard
cannot be tied to the Kirtlington tree and no evidence he had a son William.
Another
possibility is that he was the illegitimate son of Catherine QUATERMAIN: C
10Jul1773 William s Catharine QUARTERMAIN; no evidence at present to connect him
with the YOUNG family
At present
most likely guess is that William-5 was the son of William b1733 at
Kirtlington. As a man of property it
seems likely that he left a will or his estate bore death duty but these have
not yet been found.
Thomas
YOUNG-4 was baptised at Kirtlington in 1812, son of William & Ann. This baptism however occurs in a 5 year gap
in a series of baptisms to William & Frances. There are no other references to William & Ann in the
register, and no suitable William/Ann marriage, whereas the baptisms to William
and Frances are preceded by a marriage.
Moreover, Thomas-4 and his new bride Rebecca were living with William
and Frances, together with their other children in the 1841 census. Thomas' marriage certificate shows that his
father, William, was a butcher and the William married to Frances was also a
butcher. The register for Kirtlington
is missing and baptism data is from the Bishops Transcript. It is concluded that the baptismal entry has
a transcription error of Ann for Frances, and that the marriage of William is
recorded in the BT with Frances:
