Samuel and his family arrived in Brisbane 14 July 1876 on the ship City of Agra.
Samuel Young married Rose Degnan in Lismore NSW, 1906. The marriage took place in the home of Samuel in Magellan St Lismore according to the rites of Church of Christ. The officiating Minister was Theo B. Fischer. Samuels occupation was described as being a cordial manufacturer and so to was his father William.
Samuel had five sisters and two brothers:
