This man had a career with the Royal Navy and reached the rank of Commander.  His dates were: 1786-1855.  He lived at Dunmore, Killea, Waterford.

His son, Alfred, was also an officer in the Royal Navy and also reached the rank of Commander.  Alfred's dates were 1813-1861  Alfred was presumably born in Waterford but died in Portsmouth.

Alfred married Selina Elizabeth Courtney Mansel. She was the daughter of Admiral Thomas Mansel, who served with Nelson.

If you could find out any information about the Youngs, father and son, I would be very grateful.

 

A lot of my information came from this site: https://family.kearney.co.uk/category/young-family/page/5/
