Thank you. I think the first one will be right as he was a tailor in Hokitika in 1862. Also the age of Mary is right. Just need to keep looking for his death which is not so easy when its a common name.
David Young died in September 1895. There was an 'heirs wanted' at in the Otago Witness. This can be viewed in Papers Past 14 November The said William, Mary (had died by then) and John or any other descendants of the said deceased David Young were requested to communicate with Charles Thompson, Solicitor, Alloa Scotland.
Thank you -that has filled in a gap for me.
