Spelt Younge in list Aug 20 1866 (and since this appears on internet have corrected from Yonge)<br />
=== Notes From Elsewhere ===
Robert Younge.--Essentially a self-made man, Mr. Robert Younge died at his home at Greystones in 1874, aged seventy-three. His family went back two centuries in Sheffield's life. He was first engaged in business as a silver-plater with his brother who lived at the top of Charles Street, but afterwards joined the firm of Younge, Kitchen & Walker, other members of the family being associated with Rimington & Younge's Bank, afterwards the Sheffield and Retford Bank. He had a great knowledge of chemistry which became of considerable value to him, and he filled many high places in local life. He was a Juror on Sheffield plated goods at the Great Exhibition of 1851, and a very far seeing man. That was shown by the way in which he speculated in land in and around the town, for he<br />owned some of the finest tracts in the suburbs-land sure to claim a greatly enhanced value in years to come. In later life, he was associated with a flourishing wine and spirit business in the Haymarket, and also helped to found<br />the Literary and Philosophical Society. In all things he was very charitable and was a prominent supporter of the School of Art. Further than that, few men took a deeper interest in the building of the new Workhouse of the Sheffield Guardians. Yet another side of his character may be revealed in the fact that he owned one of the finest collections of engravings to be found in Yorkshire.<br />
