Bogside Youngs

Can anyone give background about the Youngs in the Bogside, Derry that are related to John Pius Young (Bloody Sunday Martyr)? Just curious...

Etymology

"this particular surname usually originated to distinguish a younger son", on a first reading, makes no sense. As a given name certainly, but surnames apply to all one's children, from eldest to youngest. Doug butler (talk) 20:45, 5 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
