View source for Young, Elizabeth (nee Robson)

Elizabeth was the youngest daughter of [[Robson, Mary Jane|Mary Jane Robson]] and Thomas Robson, being born at Kirkharle on 14 August 1902. Her father died in 1905 before Elizabeth had reached her third birthday. Her mother moved to [[2 Percy Terrace]] and earned some money as a boarding-house keeper. In 1911 Elizabeth was her mother’s only relative in residence. Elizabeth entered domestic service and was employed by George Ridley Milburn, a joiner and Confectioner, and his wife, Evelyn Mary at 2 St. Cuthberts Terrace, Bellingham. In the third quarter of 1937 she married John A Young a joiner journeyman who was some fifteen years younger than herself. In 1939 Thomas and Elizabeth had moved in with her mother, [[Robson, Mary Jane|Mary Jane Robson]] in [[1 Percy Terrace]]. Elizabeth died in the first quarter of 1980.

There is little detail on Thomas Alexander Young and I am reluctant to construct a biographer as it is all so recent. It appears that he remarried a woman called Famelton in 1981 and died in 1992 in St Cuthberts Terrace.
