Rev. Charles John Young was an Anglican clergyman who was also a naturalist with a specialty in ornithology. Young grew up in Britain and was educated at Cambridge. After his father's death in 1881, he decided to move to Canada with his wife and four children. Upon his arrival in 1883, he was a teacher in Classics at Perth Collegiate Institute. But he decided to pursue a new career in the Anglican Church into which he was ordained in 1886. In addition to his work with the Ontario Diocese, he also actively pursued his interest as a naturalist. He had a number of papers published by the Ottawa Field Naturalist and the Auk, and made reports to the Meteorological Office in Toronto 1904-1914.
