Children from marriage between a John Young and a Bella as found on NZ Birth search in April 2019:
1878/2673. Young, Margaret Jane. Mother: Bella. Father: John [Born 4 February 1878]
1879/13644. Young, Angus. Mother: Bella. Father: John [Born 10 June 1879]
1880/3583. Young, Isabella. Mother: Bella. Father: John [Born 23 February 1880]
1881/11981. Young, John. Mother: Bella. Father: John [Born 18 October 1881]
1882/19525. Young, John. Mother: Bella. Father: John [Born 17 February 1882]

Brian of nzolivers notes that two of the births happen within a nine month period. Also, on the death record of wife Bella, there were living only 2 males and 1 female living at the time. Brian cannot find any of the above dying before mother Bella’s death. Therefore two of the child may not be from this first marriage of John’s to Bella. Brian surmises the following are their children:
Male 1: Angus Young [only male left after John Young already in tree]
Male 2: John Young [not sure which one as year of birth for John has already been determined as circa 1882.
Female: Either Margaret Jane Young or Isabella Young?
Brian of nzolivers notes that earlier above, in the 1911 Electoral Roll for Napier, and the 1914 Electoral General Roll for Napier, there was an Isabella Young who was a spinster. Brian assumes this is her daughter. Therefore, Brian is going with Isabella as his daughter.

Obituary in the “Evening Post” of 22 September 1932 from Papers Past found in June 2018:
MR. JOHN YOUNG
The death occurred yesterday at Napier, where he has resided practically ever since he arrived in New Zealand in 1860, of Mr. John Young, at the age of about ninety years. Mr. Young was born at Stornaway, in the island of Lewis, in the Hebrides, and left his birthplace at the age of twelve years as a bonded apprentice to the sea. He was on the battleship Sturt when she was carrying troops to Wanganui at the time of the Maori wars. Mr. Young held his ticket as a master mariner, and for some time owned the famous ketch Water Lily, now on a world cruise. He was one of Napier's oldest identities settling there shortly after his arrival in New Zealand, and he witnessed the growth of the settlement to a flourishing town and last year the reduction of the business part of the town to ashes following the big earthquake. Though he had but rare opportunity to use it since coming to New Zealand, Mr. Young was a fluent speaker of Gaelic. He leaves a family of eleven children, about thirty grandchildren, and one great grandchild. Mr. Don. Young, of Wellington is the third son, and Mrs. Sid. Smith, of Masterton is a daughter. Another, son is Mr. George Young, who resides in Wanganui.

The three children from first marriage to Isabella listed in “The Young Family” [Old Record Scan Doc] received from Paul Young attached to an email dated 29 July 2020:
Angus, born 10 June 1879
John, born23 October 1881
Elisabeth, born 18 November 1884
Paul Young is the great-grandson of John Young (1845-1932).

Brian of nzolivers does not have listed Elisabeth as a third child. Rather, he has an “Isabella”?
Checking with the NZ BDM, there are two Elizabeths listed:
1883/16791. Young, Elizabeth. Mother: Isabella. Father: John [Born 23 November 1883]
1884/13094. Young, Mary Elizabeth. Mother: Isabella. Father: John [Born 10 March 1884]
Neither fully matches?
