First, Christine Liava'a thank you for everything you do to help people with their family history. I am sure you are a Godsend. Is there any way to see if a man named William Charles Young or a Henry Charles Young applied for British passports or were registered with the British Consul? William Charles Young is the father of Henry Charles Young. Henry was born in Samoa but moved to Tonga. I don't know when. William supposedly moved there too and had posterity there. I am interested to see if there is any record of where William Charles Young is originally from. We have been told he is from England. I am not so sure about that anymore. Henry was born in 1832, supposedly. I have checked Familysearch but it does not help in finding out where William is from. Thanks again for all the help you give to people.

Re: William Charles Young
Thank you. I have information on the family in Tonga. I am trying to link the family to their British side if they were British. I have Henry Charles's real birthdate which is 18 July 1832 in Samoa. Henry became a member of the LDS Church in 1913 and died a year later. In that info he gives his parents as Jeni Vilivili and William Charles Young. It is my understanding according to my research that William Charles Young might have "married" a Tongan woman named Ilaisaane Takala. The descendants of this marriage say William was from Yorkshire. But I do not have a way of connecting William with Yorkshire. Thanks for your help.

Re: William Charles Young
Did the Yorkshire baptism have the parents names? Thanks again Hera

Re: William Charles Young
I just realized that the William Young I am looking for would have to be born before 1820 or so since his son Henry Charles Young was born in Samoa on 18 July 1832.

Re: William Charles Young
Thank you for your comments. I have, in the Register of British subjects, Vice Consulate of Tonga , 1880-1911
certificate no 1; 1880; certificate of registration as British Subject;-Henry Young, son of W Young of Eua, living on Eua, interpreter age 60
certificate no 1; 1884; certificate of registration as British Subject;-Charles Young, son of William Young of Eua, living in Nukualofa, 2nd gaoler & clerk; aged 35
1888; Henry Young- full protection as British subject; son of W Young of Eua
1889; certificate no 1; certificate of registration as British subject; James Clayton Young, son of William Chambers Young of Eua; living on Eua; trader , aged 40
1st Jan, 1889 James Clayton Young, son of William Chambers Young and Takala,- full protection as British subject
2nd Jan;1889 May Tubou Young, daughter of William Chambers Young and Takala- full protection as British subject
1894; may 9; Chas Young, son of W Young and Takala- full protection as British subject
1895;april 4 Lilly Young, daughter of W Young and Takala- full protection as British subject
This shows some of W C Young & Takala's children to be Henry b 1820 ? ( This could be W Young aged 60 not Henry) Charles, b 1849, James Clayton,b 1849, May Tubou, and Lilly,
The dates seem a bit strange though not impossible. If you have another date for Henry, then the 1820 must refer to William Chambers Young.
At least this gives you a full name of William Chambers Young! Christine

Re: William Charles Young
Your date of 1832 for Henry Young would mean William fathered him at age 12! Either he was very precocious, or someone has given wrong dates!- probaby the latter. Christine

Re: William Charles Young
