Janet Young

before 1799 – after 1813

Ireland

Current position

Janet McGregor is the mother named by Mary Young at her statutory marriage to James McCombe on 2 June 1858. The record directly supports the relationship, but it does not establish Janet's own birth or death details. Her Ireland locations on WikiTree are explicitly uncertain and were inferred from her daughter Mary's family context so that the new profile was not left blank.

- [FamilySearch marriage 6TGY-3R1S](https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:6TGY-3R1S): Mary Young, age 45, married James McCombe on 2 June 1858 and named her parents as James Young and Janet McGregor.
- [FamilySearch person G8NB-4SL](https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/details/G8NB-4SL) is the FamilySearch identity used for Janet. Its conclusions should not be treated as independent evidence unless supported by attached records.
- [Mary Young (Young-64866)](https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Young-64866) is the daughter through whom Janet is identified. Her FamilySearch identity is [L899-PV5](https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/details/L899-PV5).
Assessment: Relationship assessment

The parent-child relationship is confident because Mary herself named Janet McGregor as her mother in the 1858 statutory marriage record. That source does not identify Janet's parents and does not prove her precise life dates or places. James Young (Young-78888) is the father named in the same record; the record supports the parental pair but does not by itself prove their marriage.

Assessment: WikiTree duplicate audit

No compatible pre-existing WikiTree profile was established before McGregor-7704 was created. Searches returned same-name and similarly named Janet McGregor profiles, but none had demonstrated continuity to Mary, her spouses, or this record. Do not merge or reuse a namesake without evidence linking that person to Mary Young McComb.

Actions: Recommended next records

Seek Mary's original 1858 statutory marriage image and Irish baptism, marriage, land, or death records that identify Janet McGregor with James Young and their daughter Mary. Do not make the Ireland locations certain, add parents, or merge a namesake until a record establishes the relevant identity.
