These are genealogy notes mom (Yvonne Kay Marshall)wrote, that are also available in the
DATABASE below, under George Young & Catherine Black
George was converted and baptized into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints about 1850 in Scotland by John Crofford. He was rebaptized in 1883 in Wyoming because there was a question about the date on the original records. Katie (Catherine) Blyth, my Aunt, told me that she remembers stories of “Grampa George” helping the missionaries and being very active in the LDS Church in Scotland. George and Catherine announced Banns 10 August 1850, both living in Newbattle parish. George married Catherine Black, daughter of Lauchlan Black and Isabelle McDougal-Mclucias, on 4 October 1850 in Stobhill, Newbattle, Midlothian, Scotland. George is in the 1851 Cockpen census living at 22 Hunterfield Manor No. 81 with his wife Catherine (age 18) George’s age is 24 and he is a coal miner. | THE DALKEITH HOUSE also DALKEITH PALACE click on picture for more information

The family had to move often because the coal mines, where George worked, would ‘play’ out and had to close down.
He is also in the 1881 Cockpen census with Catherine and ten of their children:
Isabelle -29 yrs.married,
William - 28 yrs.,
Adam - 21 yrs.,
George -20 yrs.
John - 13 yrs.,

auchlan - 6 yrs,

Also Grandson David Johnston, son to Isabelle and father was David Johnston.
They had 15 children: Isabelle, William Black, George, Janet, Mary, Adam, George, Catherine, Anna, John Black, Margaret, Christina, Jean Black, Lauchlan Black, and Elizabeth.
George and Catherine’s last child (Elizabeth) was born in Scotland in 1879 and the family still appears in Scotland in the 1881 census although some of the older children were living away from home by that time. Most of the family, except for a few of the older children, began to immigrate to the U.S. after 1881.
