Hi Jamie:

Thanks for the addition of
Annie Elizabeth YOUNG (b 1899) and Barbara Eleanor YOUNG (b 1904) as having been children of Ira YOUNG and Annie BOLTON.

Are you or your husband related to the family?

I am really hoping that I can make contact with someone who might have photographs - particularly of Ira Sr; and if there is any family info that might confirm if my Great Grandmother Celestia Jane YOUNG was a full sibling or a half sibling of Ira - and if a half sibling, which of Henry and Elizabeth YOUNG was her parent and who was her other parent.

Thanks again!

Tom

I would assume you have tapped in to the local Gosticks including Angus at the 69/169 junction.Hope you have also spoken to Jamie Woodruffe who is quite involved with the local museum in Port Carling .Jamie sold his family cottage at Foot's Bay 5 years ago but still lives on Lake Jo.We live down Staney Brae Road just east of the 69/169 junction and I was exploring the Staney Brae name when I came on your query.Wish you good hunting .David Little

Hi David!

Thanks very much for providing me with the info about Angus GOSTICK and Jamie WOODRUFFE. I will follow up those leads, as I have just started to back into researching Ira & family.

I had visited the Footes Bay United Church & Cemetery a couple of years ago (finding Ira and family's headstones) but had not followed up on that info until recently.

Much appreciated!
Tom NELSON

Surnames: Young/Woodroffe/Gostick
I have a photo of Ira Young and another of "Lizzie" Young both with my grandmother Letty Woodroffe of Barnesdale (Footes Bay/Mactier) probably dated around 1915.
Letty's sister Sarah May married Ira's brother William Young. Would be happy to send you the photos if you contact me.

Surnames: Young, Stromberg, Nelson
Ira Young was my great-grandfather; my grandfather was his son Thomas Henry Young. Anna B. Stromberg Young was my grandmother. Her father was Nels Stromberg, but it is my understanding her mother's name was ELNA ( not Ellen) Nelson Stromberg.

Hi Sharon !

Very nice to hear from you !!! We are half second cousins! My great grandmother was Celestia Jane YOUNG who was a half sister to your great grandfather Ira. They had the same mother, but different fathers - a long story that I will not go into detail about here.

It seems as though the last 2 weeks have been the weeks for making contact with descendants of Thomas Henry YOUNG and Anna B. STROMBERG !

11 days ago, my Uncle Bob, myself, and a host of our various YOUNG relations had high-level DNA matches on 23andMe with Suzanne LONGO in Florida, who is also a great granddaughter of Thomas and Anna ! She also gave Elna as Anna's mother's name. I thank you also for that clarification. Suzanne's grandfather was Melvin Arthur YOUNG - born in Massey, Algoma District, Ontario in 1912, who emigrated to the USA in the early 1920s, settling and marrying in Florida by age 21.

Could you tell me the name of which of Thomas and Anna's children was your Mom or Dad?

Also, do you have a photo that you might be able to share with us (myself and several YOUNG family descendants) of your Great Grandfather Ira YOUNG? Also of your great grandmother Annie BOLTON and of your grandfather Thomas Henry YOUNG?

I was provided with a photo of Ira Jr (Ira Frederick YOUNG 1894-1917 - a very handsome lad) who was sadly killed-in-action during the first day of the Canadian battle of Vimy Ridge against the Germans during World War I.

I have photos of many of Ira Sr's siblings, and lots of YOUNG family info that I could send to you if you are interested.

My email address is:

Cheers!

Tom
