Try FreeBMD for the children if they lived in England /Wales after they married

If the family stayed in Scotland then you need Scotlands People to look for possible marriages etc for the two brothers

hi I am looking for help finding info on my gran's family Mary Jane young born 1908 in saint Giles Edinburgh to James young born England approx 1878 and Mary young nee Morrison born in England born approx. 1880 . I cant find where in England they were born,
they were married in march 1900 in Edinburgh Mary young's maiden name when she was married is muirhead mkensie her father was Edward mkensie and mother Susannah mkensie nee Morrison, James young's father was also James young and his mother was Jane young nee Stewart

On the 1911 census I did find 2 brothers with them both born in Edinburgh- john young born 1910 and Edward young born 1906 on there birth certificate's it says mothers maiden name is Mary muirhead mkensie. so don't know if she had a different mam but she was born in the middle of the two boys I don't know if they had any other children but she was meant to have a brother called jimmy (James) young that was in the forces, I am trying to find out what happened to Edward and john as well

Mary Jane young married William shotton gilchrist in Kensington, London in 1935
they had 2 children that we know of William shotton gilchrist born in surrey in 1936 and Jeanette Mary gilchrist born in Middlesbrough 1943, these children ended up in children's homes when she died in may 1943 there is meant to be other children, any thing any one can add to this would be really appreciated
