Researcher's Note* 
On his death record, William Youngson's parents are John Youngson (Gardener) and Elizabeth Philip, both deceased. William died of Mitral Disease of Heart. The signature of qualified informant was Wilson Youngson (son). William was 75 years old. William died at 6 Port Henry Lane, Peterhead, Scotland on July 6, 1902.

On Wilson Youngson's birth record, the marriage of William Youngson and Mary Summers occurred in March 1849. However, on the birth record of Joseph Youngson (GROS 232/00 0138), the marriage occurred on March 13, 1852. In the birth record of Elizabeth Youngson (GROS 232/00 0210), the marriage occurred in 1851. In the birth record of Alexander Youngson (GROS 232/00 0358), the marriage occurred on July 9, 1849. In the birth record of Margaret Youngson (GROS 232/00 0219), they were married on October 14, 1851. In the birth record of James Duffy Youngson (GROS 232/00 0246), they were married in September 1849.

I cannot find the marriage record of William Youngson to Mary Summers to confirm any of these dates. There are no birth records for either William Youngson or Mary Summers available at GROS.
