The late Mr. R. Young, Sheriff Elect of London, 1871. Engraving from a photograph by Mr. Valentine Blanchard. 'The death of Mr. Richard Young, merchant and shipowner, formerly M.P. for Cambridgeshire, who had just been elected one of the two Sheriffs of London and Middlesex for the ensuing civic year, was mentioned, last week, in our obituary record. This gentleman was born in 1809, at Seaming, in Norfolk; his country residence was at Wisbech, of which borough he was five times Mayor. He represented the county of Cambridge in the House of Commons from 1865 to 1868. He was a director of the Great Eastern Railway, and chairman of the Peterborough, Wisbech, and Sutton Railway Company. He was a magistrate and Deputy-Lieutenant for Norfolk and Cambridgeshire. He married, in 1833, the daughter of Mr. James Pear, of Spalding, and has left six sons and two daughters. The funeral took place on Saturday, in Wolsoken churchyard, Wisbech'. From "Illustrated London News", 1871.
