Im looking for the baptism of Elias YOUNG born abt 1835 in Lopen, Somerset, son of Elias & Sarah Young,nee Denman. I have his census details. In 1841 living with his parents & brother William & in 1851 living with his Aunt & Uncle Henry & Elizabeth Lewis. In 1854 he came alone to South Australia. I have been told that there is a baptism for a Elias Young in Lopen,son of Elias & Sarah on 8th Dec 1825. But this is too early. I wondered if there was another Elias born or if on the actual register his baptism date was hard to read & it was actually 1835.If anyone can help,it would be greatly appreciated. Kerri

Kerri can you post the 1851 census with Elias Young born 1835, I cant seem to find him. Are you sure of your dates because it seems Elias Young & Sarah Denman married in 1810 so there is a good possability the Elias born in 1825 is their son. Elias Young Male Event(s): Birth: Of Lower Stratton, , Somerset, England Christening: Death: Burial: Marriages: Spouse: Sarah Denman Marriage: 24 JUN 1810 <Of Lower Stratton, , Somerset, England> Georgina.

I can't see them on the 1841 census either, Kerri.
