Part of ill fated Group Settlement Scheme. Group 144 were located at Anniebrook approx 16 km west of Busselton. The quality of the Anniebrook Estate may be judged from its having been left idle for a century! Youngsons left Anniebrook about 1931.

Hi
I came across this website while I was messing around typing my name into Google (W.K. Youngson), as you do sometimes. I'm 66, retired as fauna consultant and have more time than I know what to do with!
Mum and Dad are both dead,and I have one younger brother, John Carlyle Youngson, named after my maternal grandfather. Carlyle is an interesting name in itself. I'm named after my Dad's father.
We are a fairly distant family who moved from Scotland to Zambia and then to Western Australia in 1965 or so. I immediately got called up and eventually sent to Vietnam as a medic, which pissed me off somewhat.
I don't know if this info is of any use to you, but there you have it.
Kind regards
Ken Youngson

Hello Ken
If you ever read this page again, I would be interested to hear from you. Can I assume your family lived in the Dalziel/Motherwell/Wishaw area? Would be keen to try to rule them in/out of some Youngson lines I am researching. Just add a post to the Lanarkshire board on family history site www.rootschat.com and I should see it.
