Hello George. I cannot offer any real help regarding your Wm Rose and Margart Young. I see that they also had a daughter born on 4.9.1833 and Christened on the 16th, named Jannet (sic). You didn't list her although you may already know of her. Nelson and Gavin are very knowledgeable on the subject, so I hope you gain some help from their postings. Sheila.
