Many thanks to all who answered my question about Chatswood. It looks probable then that the George Young who died there in 1932 is "mine". He was born in Scotland about 1888 to John & Ann Gibson Young, and was married to Ethel Crombie in Woollahra in 1914. He was a cabinet maker according to their marriage record. I could find no reference to him in the Ryerson index. How is the best way to find out if any children were born to this couple? In appreciation, Christine, USA

Hi Christine I'm sorry but couldn't find any children born to 1918 to George & Ethel after 1914....our birth index only goes to 1918 on CD. I could suggest that if there were any children born to this couple they would appear on George's death record in 1932 which you can apply for as a transcription using his death registration number of 653.
