- Nationality:
- British
Jane Young (nee Hackworth) was born at 4 pm on 19 June 1831 at Soho House, Shildon. She was the daughter of Timothy Hackworth and Jane Hackworth (nee Golightly). She went to school at her sister Prudence Nightingale (nee Hackworth)’s Seminary for Young Ladies in Penrith and then was sent to finish her education in Vilvorde, Brussels.
She married George Edward Young, a Wesleyan Preacher on 28 December 1853. The couple moved around regularly due to George Edward’s job; correspondence shows that they lived in Leeds, London and that Jane lived in Hull.
They had five sons and one daughter, sons including the following that feature in the archive: Timothy Hackworth Young, Robert Young, George Edward Young and Samuel Holmes Young.
Both Jane and George Edward Young were active in campaigning for recognition of Timothy Hackworth. George Edward Young’s research papers and correspondence demonstrate his involvement and Jane Young (nee Hackworth) appears to have been involved in research about her father for most of her life. She died in 1914.
