The Smith Family



Susannah (Smith, Tyzack) Kew

Birth: 1837

Married: to George Tyzack in 1860, in Walsingham, Norfolk, England

Children:

  • Mary Elizabeth Tyzack
  • Notes:
    In the 1881 census, there is a listing for Susannah Kew, who is shown as the mother of Mary E. Tyzack (the same age as Susannah (Smith) Tyzack's daughter, Mary Elizabeth) and it is assumed that Susannah remarried a Kew between the death of her husband, George Tyzack in the 1870s, and the census in 1881, although there is no sign of any Mr. Kew in the census. Susannah is listed as a Wife, not a widow, indicating that Mr. Kew is still alive at that time, just presently at a different location (perhaps a sailor? - George was, and Susannah is living in the port of Wells-next-the-Sea at this time). One further sticking point is that Susannah is listed as 43 years old in the census, while Bruce Tyzack's records show Susannah Smith birth as occurring in 1836 - a discepancy of one year. Thus we must keep alive to the possibility that this Susannah Kew is not in fact Susannah (Smith) Tyzack, although we currently believe this to be the case.

    Census:
    1881: Jicklings Yard, Wells, Norfolk

    Jicklings Yard, Wells-next-the-Sea, NorfolkJicklings Yard is a short, yet delightful alleyway ("unsuitable for motors") running down the steep incline between Theatre Lane and The Quay. It is not known exactly which house was Susannah's residence and the photograph opposite depicts just one of the picturesque houses on the street.
