Isaac YOUNG m Jane PERRY, 18 July 1835 in St Pauls, Bristol. In the 1841 Census, Publow, Somerset, they appear as Isaac (30) and Jane (25). Both said to have been born in County. Jane's death certificate has her as from Preston Somerset (with a definite 'e' in PRESTON).
Per FreeREG and BathBMD (which notes mother's maiden name), their children were:
1836 Isaac (bap Compton Dando)
1837 Rachael (bap Publow; d 1841, age 3; bur Publow)
1838 John (bap Publow)
1841 William (bap Publow)
1844 Thomas (bap Pensford)
1846 Robert (bap Pensford; d 1846, age 1; abode The Butts Frome; bur Publow)
1848 James Robert (bap Pensford)
According to South Australian records Isaac and Jane YOUNG came out to Australia from PRISTON area Somerset in 1850 on the ship the Ceylon, with several children, including John and William. Isaac was a Yeoman on Popham's property of about 200 acres around Publow prior to leaving. (I have the land records here with map of them showing paddocks and homestead, orchards etc.)
I am lead to believe (from South Australian records) that my Isaac YOUNG was born on 18 June 1810. As he died in South Australia on 14 October 1876 at the age of 66 years, according to his death cert, it is possible that this birthdate is correct. Unfortunately the only place names I have to go on for a birth are Priston, Keynsham or Siston.
An Isaac YOUNG, s/o Thomas/Jane YOUNG was bap 15 Jul 1810, GLS (near Bitton). Other children of this couple included a Thomas and Rachael (names of my Isaac's children).
From a book on the YOUNGs in the area: An Isaac YOUNG (who emigrated to Australia) son of Thomas YOUNG, "a farmer, who about 1833 was living at Woollard, near Pensford" died Belton near Pensford. This Thomas YOUNG was the son of Aaron YOUNG born 1741 Corston; died 1818 Corston.
An 1861 burial in Stanton Drew of Thomas YOUNG, age 85, abode Belluton, fits the description in the book. There's also an 1848 Stanton Drew burial for a Jane YOUNG, age 69; abode Belton House.
Who are Isaac YOUNG's parents - is he the son of Thomas YOUNG of Beluton (mentioned above)? Is it possible that the Thomas/Jane couple baptizing an Isaac in Siston are the same couple found later in Belluton?
There are also unresolved pieces of Jane's history. Jane died in Barmedman NSW in 1907, aged 94. Per her death certificate, she was the daughter of John PERRY and Ann VOWELS. John PERRY was a farmer. Thus far I have not found Jane PERRY's baptism or her parents' marriage. I'm presuming it is Ann VOWELS and not another surname...on her death certificate it is quite clear to read.
Is it possible that Jane PERRY (above) was the daughter of John PERRY farmer of PRESTON Somerset as per Jane's death certificate? (Or even PRISTON or nearby?)

My 4xgreat grandfather, Thomas YOUNG, was the landlord of the White Hart, Bitton on the 1841 census and tollhouse keeper at Cherry Garden Turnpike House on the 1851 Census. His wife, who died in 1843, was Martha - but so far I have been unable to find anything about her.
