There appear to be two plays by this name:

Young England a play by Morton (1860s)

A play by this name and ascribed to "Morton" is mentioned by F.C.L. Bosman (1980,p. 230), as being performed in the Cape Town in 1867. No reference to a play of this name by any of the three Mroton playwrights.

Young England a melodrama by Walter Reynolds (1934).
