Genuki has a great resource for coastguards. It gives a history and NA references. It also has an alpha list of individual coastguards, including Mr Young at Amble.

Thanks Janwhin, I have often referred to this list. A family mystery is a Neil Cancarrow on this list, listed as Matilda Matthews (James Youngs future wife - my g g g grandmother) grandfather. Clearly from census records he was not, and on the 1851 census he is Neil Cameron of Scottish decsent not old enough to be her grandfather. We have never established where he fits in to the family history!
