The Anglo-Saxon word "don" means "a low hill in open countryside".

Henry Young (b. 1810) married Harriet Tuff (bap. 5 Oct 1817), daughter of Thomas Tuffs and Rebecca Archer, presumably at the now closed former church of St. Mary and All Saints, Old Church Hill, Langdon Hills, on 23 Dec 1838.

Henry and Harriet had three daughters:

1. Eliza Young b. 1841 M Quarter in ORSETT UNION Volume 12 Page 191, bap. 14 Mar 1841 in Langdon Hills. The parents' names on this baptism are listed as George and Harriet, but I'm certain this is the correct baptism and the father's name is an error, either at the time or in transcription.
2. Lucy Young b. 1843 S Quarter in ORSETT Volume 12 Page 181, bap. 24 Sep 1843 in Langdon Hills
3. Lydia Young b. 1847 M Quarter in ORSETT Volume 12 Page 204, bap. 31 Jan 1847 in Langdon Hills

Mother's maiden name on Eliza is TUFF, on Lucy and Lydia's it is TUFFS.

In 1841, Henry Young (30), Harriet Young (23) and Eliza Young (0) were living in Laindon Hills, Essex, in the household of Thomas Tuffs (50), Harriet's father. Also in the household was a William Bradd (20), who may have been a lodger.

In 1851, still living in Laindon Hills, Essex, were Henry Young (41) Agricultural Labourer from Downham, Essex; Harriet Young (33) from Laindon Hills; Eliza (10), Lucy (7) and Lydia (4), as well as Thomas Tuff (66) born in Little Waltham.

In 1861, Henry Young (52) Agricultural Labourer, Harriet Young (41) and Lydia Young (14) were living in Wickford, Essex. Eliza Young (20) was employed as a Domestic Servant in the household of Thomas Kemble (of The Hall, Runwell (which is now a Toby Carvery), who served as High Sheriff of Essex in 1872).

So far I've found no further verifiable records for this family.
