Charles Burney Young (7 July 1824 – 29 September 1904), generally referred to as C. B. Young, was a landholder, winemaker and politician in the early days of the colony of South Australia. HistoryYoung was born in England of Scottish ancestry and studied at London University. He married Nora Creina[1] Bacon (11 January 1835 – 5 June 1925) of Swanscombe, Kent in 1851. They left for South Australia on 16 November 1854, in the Flora Kerr. They were hospitably treated by dabKent Hughes of "Avenel", Robe Terrace, North Adelaide, where Nora's second child was born, but died in August. They took a cottage in Ward Street, North Adelaide.[2] In February 1856 Young was appointed Draughstman with the Public Works Department,[3] and by September 1856 was working as a surveyor. Nora Creina Young was a daughter of Major General Bacon and Lady Bacon (1801–1880), who before her marriage was Lady Charlotte Harley, the beauty to whom Lord Byron dedicated, as "Ianthe", his Childe Harold's Pilgrimage. Nora's brothers Edward and Harley Bacon also settled in South Australia. Lady Bacon followed them and lived in Adelaide from 1865 to 1877 [4] They returned to England, where the brothers stood to gain a sizeable inheritance on condition that they adopt the surname Harley.[5] He invested heavily in land – he bought a few acres of land on Fuller Street, Walkerville, with a house, built by Captain John Walker, which he dubbed "Swanscombe" and which remained the family home. He bought a block at Kanmantoo, on which he planted a vineyard and started making wine, his "St. George claret" having a good reputation. He purchased a large run on the Blyth Plains, part of which he subdivided and leased to farmers, the balance being stocked with sheep, or sown with wheat. He leased land north of Port Augusta which he stocked with beef cattle.[6] He established Mount Templeton Station, owned Macumba Station and large tracts of land at The Hummocks, Andamooka, Port Broughton, and Port Pirie.[7] A notable employee at "Swanscombe" and the Kanmantoo Estate was the Ngarrindjeri man David Unaipon (1872–1967).[8] PoliticsIn September 1878 Young was elected a member of the Legislative Council but resigned in June 1880 to take a trip to England. Other interestsHe was a member of the first Polo Club and Hunt Club, and an enthusiastic follower of cricket. He was a governor of St. Peter's College, where all his sons were educated. He was Hon. Secretary of the Aborigines' Friends Association, and closely associated with St. Andrew's Anglican Church, Walkerville. He was a member of the Education Board, the Royal Agricultural and Horticultural Society and the Aborigines' Friends' Association.

Their home was "Swanscombe", Fuller Street, near St. Andrew's Church, Walkerville. MemorialsFour stained glass windows in St. Andrew's Church, Walkerville, are dedicated to George Burney Young, his wife Nora Creina Young, another to Mrs. Young's mother and sister, and another to two sons who died as young adults. References1. ^Nora Creina was also the name of a two-masted brigantine (1834–1859) which was wrecked in January 1859 near Robe, South Australia. Both may relate to an 18th-century Irish song of that name. {{DEFAULTSORT:Young, Charles Burney}}2. ^{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article46212276 |title=Glimpses of the Past |newspaper=The Advertiser |location=Adelaide |date=8 June 1925 |accessdate=16 November 2014 |page=13 |publisher=National Library of Australia}} This article erroneously gives date of their embarkation as 1864 not 1854 and the ship as Flora Keen not Flora Kerr. 3. ^{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article49748334 |title=The Government Gazette |newspaper=South Australian Register |location=Adelaide |date=1 February 1856 |accessdate=17 November 2014 |page=3 |publisher=National Library of Australia}} 4. ^{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article87467549 |title=Miss F.
