	Hi Colin -- the names just rang a bell; have you seen this thread? http://www.genesreunited.co.uk/boards.asp?wci=thread&tk=996421 It's about a Jane Younger of Alloa from the previous generation, but you never know, it might be of interest. Doesn't seem to have been of much interest to the person who wrote the message, who's never bothered to respond ... Meanwhile, if you're looking for answers, you might want to specify what the question is. ;)

Their eldest dau was left with an uncle Alexander Younger to bring up, whilst they disappeared!! It thought that David was disowned by his family, for marrying house maid Jane Younger. David Reid could not write his own name, as evidenced by birth/death records.
