The Tyzack Family

Towards the beginning or the middle of the sixteenth century, Thomas De Henzell and Balthazar De Hensell, dwelling at the Vosges in the county of Lorraine, with their relatives Tylters and Tyzack (Huguenots) went to England, to Newcastle upon Tyne.

Some of the Tyzacks also went to Cornwall. They were stained glass window makers.

In 1843 the Royal license was granted to Edward Davison of Wheatfield House near Edinburgh, and to his wife Isabella, the eldest daughter and heiress of George Tyzack (deceased), late of Hebden in Northumberland, to take the surname of Tyzack only and to bear the arms of Tyzack.

Many of the Tyzacks in this branch of the family lived in Norfolk, mostly in the towns of Wells-next-the-Sea and Little Walsingham.

A listing of all the Tyzacks listed in the Birth, Marriage and Death indexes in England has been compiled by Bruce Tyzack. Also, a very comprehensive history of the Tyzacks' origins in France and their subsequent glass and tool making exploits in England has been written in a book entitled "Glass, Tools and Tyzacks", written by Don Tyzack. Don has also set up a Tyzack surname website.

In the Natal Witness on 8 January 1875, a birth announcement is made of a daughter born to the wife of Mr. C. T. Tyzack on 11 October 1874 in Benela, Mississippi. Since the announcement is made in the Natal Witness, I assume that this refers to a daughter of Charles Thomas Tyzack. I am intrigued as to why and how the family is in Mississippi in 1874!!

At the death of their son in 1917, Charles and Frances are recorded living in Bramley, Johannesburg, South Africa

Although the census does not identify street numbers, local historians who have examined the 1891 census conclude that Edward Tyzack lived at 21 High Street. This is the blue door on the left side of the street. The Wells Next the Sea Local History Group has created the 1891 Traders and Resident's map of High St. Wells which shows Edward Tyzack, Hairdresser. This is a wonderful map which really helps to bring alive the street as it was in 1891. We note that Edward lives over the road from his niece Jane Elizabeth (Tyzack) Mack who married John Mack. This is the niece that Edward is shown as living with in the 1851 census.

James was also listed in Walsingham as hairdresser/perfumer. He could have had two places of business, or Walsingham may have been his place of residence. James is listed in the 1851 census as a "cutler and perfumer", in Norwich and as an Ironmonger on his son William's marriage certificate in 1852. A later advertisement by James (1848 or later), advertises his invention of "J. Tyzack's Double Patent British Razors", from a shop on the High Street in Wells.

Given at Holkham, by H. R. Highness the
Duchess of Kent's command, the 24th day
of September, 1835.
(Signed) E. CONROY.

By Virtue of the Authority to me given I do
hereby Nominate and Appoint Mr. James

He is to have and enjoy all the Rights,
Profits, Privileges, and advantages, during

J. TYZACK'S PERSIAN WASH,
OR EXTRACT OF HONEY,
UNDER THE IMMEDIATE PATRONAGE OF THE RIGHT HON. THE EARL OF LEICESTER,
LORD LIEUTENANT OF THE COUNTY.


For Cleaning, Softening, and Imparting a Luxuriant Gloss to the Hair, in Warm Climates its cooling and delightful sensation can only be described by its application, preventing the Hair from falling off or turning Grey.


Nearly half a Century's Practical Experience in the Art of Hair Cutting, &c.
Sold in Bottles, 2s. 6d., 3s. 6d., 7s. 6d., and 21s. each.
Apply the Persian Wash to the Hair with the Brush made by J. Tyzack, for that purpose.

JAMES TYZACK'S CEYLONESE OIL,
Sold in Bottles, 2s. 6d., 3s. 6d., 7s. 6d., and 21s. each.


For producing Hair on Bald places, also Whiskers, Eye Brows, Moustache, and may be said to be the True Restorer of Nature's Loveliest Embellishment. For cultivating and improving the Hair, being very light it assists much in preventing the Hair getting out of Curl, so much complained of in damp or warm weather. J. Tyzack, Perfumer to the Queen, Hair Cutter by appointment to several of the Royal Family, has for upwards of Forty years attended strictly to the cultivating and improving the growth of the Hair, for either acquirement or preservation of this treasure, cleanliness, freeness of scurf, and a proper degree of nourishment with the Ceylonese Oil will remedy these inconveniences. In extreme cases apply the Ceylonese Oil at night and the Persian Wash in the Morning. I first fix the Hair then make it Grow. For many years my Ceylonese Oil has been in general use, and has gradually increased in demand. I do not wish to bring a number of cases to your notice, but will only request you to read the letters sent to me in 1837, and amongst many others one in 1847 and 1848:

FROM CAPTAIN CURRY.
Sir, - I have much pleasure in acknowledging to you the very great benefit I have derived from the use of your Ceylonese Oil. A year ago I found my Hair getting very thin and falling off. About six months since I began to use your Oil, and am glad to be able to state that my hair is quite restored to its original strength. I therefore deem it but just to give you this testimony, and I think you cannot fail in having a very large sale of it.
I am, Sir, your obedient servant,
R.C. CURRY, R.N.
To Mr. J. Tyzack.

FROM Mr. J. PEACOCK.
To Mr. J. Tyzack.
Holkham, October 4th, 1847.
Sir,- On the 22nd of May, in consequence of my Hair falling off to such an extent, I called upon you to order a wig to be made immediately, you offered to restore my hair in less than three months or charge me nothing if you failed. I had no opinion of it at the time that you would do it, however, under your directions I set to work with a bottle of your Ceylonese Oil, and a bottle of your Persian Wash, and to my astonishment in less than a week the small portion of hair I had on my head was quite fast, it was truly magic; on the 23rd of June I had another bottle of Oil and Wash, which I have not finished, and am happy to say that I have plenty of hair on my head. You are at liberty to make what use you please of this letter, and also to refer any person to me who wishes to hear my statement.
I am, yours respectfully,
JAMES PEACOCK.

Mr. James Tyzack.
Londonderry, Bedale, Yorkshire.
Sir,- You will oblige me by sending as early as you can a bottle of your Ceylonese Oil and a bottle of Persian Wash, as a friend of mine is wishful to try it. It seems to have quite fixed the little remaining hair I have, and to be producing a fresh growth.
I am, Sir, Yours &c.,
P. V. MERA.
October 2nd, 1848

No one need despair of getting their Hair after hearing my case, my hair turned white, I lost it all and wore a wig, and never expected to get it again; I have since used three bottles of James Tyzack's celebrated Ceylonese Oil and Persian Wash, recommended to me by a friend, and have now as good a head of Hair as any one can wish, very dark and curley. Any one is at liberty to hear the truth of this statement and case of Baldness by applying to
BENJAMIN WICK,
Upwards of 49 years of age,
Farming Steward, North Basham, Norfolk.
Witness to this statement, William Harman, Ship Owner, Wells, Norfolk.
May 1854.

To Mr. James Tyzack.
Sir,- About six months back I sent for you to shave my head in consequence of losing my Hair, you recommended the application of your Ceylonese Oil and Persian Wash, I am pleased to say I have as good a head of Hair as I could wish. You are at liberty to refer anyone to me as I consider it right your celebrated Ceylonese Oil and Persian Wash should be generally known.
Yours, &c.,
HENRY CULLEY.
Burnham Overy, April 30th, 1855.

Another genuine and extreme case.
A neighbour of mine lost nearly all his Hair from a severe illness, in the winter, and was told by his Medical Attendant that nothing but shaving the head would save his hair. The constant application of my Ceylonese Oil and Persian Wash, in a few months has produced a finer head of hair than ever he had before. Not wishing to have his name published but have no objection to be referred to.
Wells, Norfolk, May, 1835

To Mr. James Tyzack.
Wells, February 25th, 1855.
I lost all my hair, and, in a few short months, it was again restored, by the use of your Ceylonese Oil and Persian Wash. I had no fever or illness of any kind. You are at liberty to refer any one to me. I am pleased indeed with my new head of hair.
HARRIET ELSDEN.
Witnesses by her Mother.

Mr. James Tyzack.
Sir,- I had always plenty of hair on my head until within the last few weeks, it combed off very rapidly. By the application of your Ceylonese Oil and Persian Wash, it is perfectly restored and I now have a good head of hair, soft and easy to curl.
MARY DUNGY.
Rainham, October 1855.

Wells, Norfolk, October, 1855.
Sir,- About three months back I called to consult you about my hair, I had scarcely any on my head, after the application of your Ceylonese Oil and Persian Wash for a short time, it was again restored in abundance. You are quite at liberty to refer any one to me.
To Mr. James Tyzack.
ANN WABON.

Something worth knowing, what to do, and how to keep a good Head of Hair.
I have used your Ceylonese Oil all my life, and to use it carefully consider it as cheap and much better than any other preparation for the Hair. I have lately had a very severe confinement, three weeks after you attended to my hair, and again in three weeks not a hair combed off. You are at liberty to refer anyone to me, I have plenty of hair and of a good colour.
1856.

After a Walk - after a Ride - after a Bath - after an Illness - after Fatigue of any kind, use my Refreshing Persian Wash, at the same time it Cleans, Preserves, Refreshes, and Beautifies the Hair.


To be obtained through all Perfumers and Medicine Vendors in the Kingdom.

Life Vice-President;  Vice-Patron South African Football Association;  Vice-Captain Durban R.C., 1887-90; Hon. Sec and Treas., 1891-2;  Captain, 1892-99;  Vice-President Durban Amateur Athletic Association;  Vice-President Durban Athletic Club; Vice-President Natal LaCrosse Association; Vice-Chairman Natal Cyclists Union; Chairman Durban Referees' Association;  Official Handicapper of foot events at sports meeting for last twenty years; Chairman Durban Sports Association, the head body of all head bodies in Durban in Association football, cricket, cycling, and foot running.  The position of Chairman is the head official position of the Durban Sports Association, consequently he represents the unique position of elected head of all sport in Durban.  No services on behalf  of sports have been more spontaneously and generously recognised and rewarded than Mr. Tyzack's, as the following will show: The Ancient Order of Foresters, in Nov., 1903, presented him with a jewel and honorary membership.  In Feb., 1904, the various associations, unions, clubs and bodies of Durban presented him with a very handsome illuminated address and Mrs. Tyzack with a purse of one hundred and twenty five sovs.

Natalia was born just two weeks after her parents arrived in Natal aboard the Edward which arrived in Durban on 2 May 1850, after 112 days at sea. It must have seemed like the nick of time to her mother! For most of that time they stayed in the immigrant's camp, but her father managed to rent a room in Pine Crescent, on the corner of Stanger street, just in time for Natalia's birth.

Children: Occupation: Postman, Tailor and Town Councillor

Milestones: Notes:
George Russell, in The History of Old Durban and Reminiscences of an Emigrant of 1850 (p123) writes:
Harry Milner, of Milner Brothers, owning the Erven on the opposite side (11 and 12, Block K) cut up "Union Street," and sold the land on both sides in small sub divisions. It was on one of these lots that Mr. R. W. Tyzack set up his tent dwelling and tailor's shop.  His trim garden, wattled in, extended to Pine Terrace, and it was from this humble abode that he and his wife obtained and distributed relief to the shipwrecked Minervas.

Richard Tyzack became involved in city politics. We see this evidence of his political views, also written in The History of Old Durban and Reminiscences of an Emigrant of 1850 (p230)
This tampering with our possessions was regarded with so much suspicion that the Mayor called a public meeting lo take a vote on the subject. The meeting was held in Mr. R. Acutt's Auction Mart on the 21st September [1855]. The question submitted was, "Should a portion of the Town Lands be sold to furnish funds for the Corporation?" An animated heated discussion took place, for and against, while many present advocated leasing only. The views of the opposition were voiced by Mr. R. W. Tyzack who "looked upon the present scheme as only an attempt to insert the thin end of the wedge, and warned the meeting against tampering with the inheritance of their children, to gratify the cupidity and ambition of a class." The meeting, having regard to the present heavy rates, and the benefit posterity would derive from an improved town, decided by a large majority to sell.  It was on this occasion that an equally enthusiastic burgess, in opposing Mr Tyzack, amused the meeting and astonished himself by shouting, "What good has posterity done for us I should like to know?"

In 1863, Richard was elected to the Town Council, representing Ward 1. He was twice appointed as mayor of Durban in times of political turmoil. In 1866, the mayor, Mr. John Hunt, resigned after a town meeting, held to protest the terms of purchase of the Town Office building, accused the council of "wantonly misappropriating the Borough funds and requesting the Council to negotiate with Mr Keys for the cancellation of the purchase". On 12 March 1866, after several nominations for the post of Mayor which the gentlemen nominated would not accept Mr. R. W. Tyzack was duly elected.  Tyzack attempted to negotiate the cancellation of the agreement, but could not agree on cancellation terms and eventually the purchase proceeded on renegotiated terms. On 4 August 1866, Mr. John Harvey was elected mayor, but he, too, resignedon 18 June 1867, as a result of public discontent with his negotiation of loan terms between the Durban Corporation and the London and South Africa Bank. On 1 July 1867, Richard Tyzack was elected mayor again, to see the council through new elections held on 13 July 1867, at which he, along with most of the existing council, failed to be re-elected.

When Eliza Jane married in 1876, the wedding took place at Richard's residence in Mount Pleasant on the Berea. In February 1883, on the occasion of the marriage of his daughter Mary Ann Frances, Richard is recorded as living at Chelmsford House, Durban. This house is now a B&B.

Death: 28 August 1895, in Durban, Natal

Obituary:
Dated 29 August 1895, in the Natal Mercury:

IN MEMORIAM
RICHARD WEBBER TYZACK It is with faltering pen and in deep grief that we approach the unwelcome task of writing an obituary of one who has been for so many years connected with the Natal Mercury and its publishers, and who took a more than ordinary interest in the newspaper and its welfare. No firm could have a more loyal and zealous assistant, or one more ready to act as well as to give good advice. Mr Tyzack, by his identification, by his personal regard, and by his long connection, had become a part of the Mercury establishment, and was not only reverenced, but looked to as an example and as an embodiment of all that is true and just.

When, therefore, the usually hale old man had to leave the office last Friday morning, confessing, which he was hardly ever known to do before, that he was not feeling himself, it will be understood there was concern amongst his confreres. Little was it suspected, however, that we should never again have the satisfaction of seeing him in all his remarkable energy engaged with us in the daily avocation. Usually so vigorous, he did not himself, for two days, realise how ill he was, and then only was it that he called in Dr. Prince. All that was possible by medical skill, by the tender solicitude and attention of his good wife, and by the care of others, was ineffectual, and it became apparent that congestion of the lungs, which followed a cold, had laid firm hold of him. On Tuesday night he was reported a little better, but on Wednesday morning a sad change was noticeable, and Dr. Prince had reluctantly to announce that he must give up hope. Dr. Campbell was called in to consult, but it was in vain, and "dear old friend Tyzack," as he has been affectionately called, quietly departed this life shortly after one o'clock yesterday afternoon.

If ever a man, by reason of his integrity in this world, and his supreme faith in the future, has reaped his reward in the world beyond, that man is the one whose loss we and the whole community deplore. He set himself a high standard of life, and he lived up to it consistently, known of all men and respected. To him Christianity was real and tangible, and he worked for it indefatigably. The Congregationalists lose one of their pillars, for he was one of the only three living - the other two being his wife and Mr. P. Lennox - who founded the Smith Street Congregationalist Church, helped to arrange for the building, worshipped in it with rare regularity, assisted in its services, and worked in connection with its affairs in numerous ways right up to the last. In the Sunday school, too, he took great and direct interest, for he was intensely fond of the little ones. He was not only a teacher for a long number of years, but was also superintendent of the morning school, and there are hundreds of men and women now in all parts of South Africa who will with deep sorrow learn of his death, for they, in their youth, had learnt much from him, and had also learnt to love the man. As further testifying his interest in the young, he established, and for a long time continued to conduct, a band of hope, often, when other helpers failed, taking the whole working of the institution on his own shoulders. It will therefore be realised how great was his interest in the Smith Street Congregational Church and its institutions. Indeed, it may be said that next to his own home the church most occupied his leisure thoughts, and that the pastors, deacons, congregation, teachers and scholars will sadly miss and mourn him.

He was not afraid of thoroughly espousing any cause he took in hand, and had always a ready answer for any remark affecting his principles. Those principles were dear to him, but with this tenacity for them he had also a broad catholicity of spirit, and it was probably this that caused his opinions and himself to be held in such high esteem even by those who differed from him. He was very firm on the temperance question, being a pronounced total abstainer, and was always ready to speak at temperance meetings, and to urge, in a quiet and sincere manner, upon any who approached him or needed counsel, the necessity and advantages of abstinence. So considerately did he do this this that even those engaged in the liquor trade respected his views and treated him as the worthy man he was. In adherence to principle, and in his walk in life, he was indeed a pattern, and a man whom to know was to esteem.

But he did not confine himself to social matters and social questions. No man was prouder of Durban and of the Colony of Natal than was Mr. Tyzack. Often has he been twitted upon not re-visiting the Old Country, and then he would reverently remove his hat and speak earnestly for the fair land of his adoption, saying it had treated him kindly, that he loved its skies, and as he had been content to live, so he would be content to die, under them. His wish has been realised. It used to be his boast that he had never crossed the bar, and, until a year or two ago, no persuasion would make him yield; but when the Tantallon Castle first arrived, he was induced for the first time to cross the bar to see that fine steamer. The contrast to him was great, for recollections arose of May 4, 1850, when he sailed from England in the emigrant sailing ship, Edward; and further contrast was afforded as he gazed upon the expanding town and house-dotted suburbs, and compared the present with the uncultivated hills and the rough sand dunes of the town when he landed. There must also have been satisfaction in the knowledge that he had done his part in transforming the town from an arid waste to a well-formed and ever-improving borough. He, in fact, was amongst those who laid the foundation of Durban as we now find it.

Engaged in business as a tailor, his mind dwelt on the potentialities of Durban, and, manifesting an interest in its affairs, he soon began to be recognised as a man who could be of service. Thus, in 1863, he entered the Town Council, and continued uninterruptedly as a member till the end of the municipal year in 1867. His talents in administration, which in other ways have since been much in request, were recognised by his fellow councillors, and in 1865-66 he was elected to preside over the borough as Mayor (the tenth to that date appointed), a position which, we have been told, he worthily upheld. It will thus be seen that he took an exceedingly active and prominent part in laying those foundations upon which this beautiful town has been built, and therefore his pride in the town and its great progress can be well understood.

There are many other public and private offices in which he did good and useful work for the town and for individuals. The Public Library and Reading-Room, for instance, had an old and staunch supporter and worker in him, and, as showing his keen interest in that useful institution and the regard in which his services were held, he was for about 20 years continuously elected as treasurer, a post he honoured.

His clear head and powers of administration were in great request in connection with private estates, and many there were, and some very involved, that he successfully took in hand, discharging his trust with the faithfulness and regard to exactness that were so prominently his characteristics. At the time of his death he had several trusteeships unfinished, and so methodical was he that all his papers are in excellent order, so that the work can be carried on without trouble by those to whom they are handed.

It was this particular trait of his charcter that made him so valuable a member of the commercial staff of the Natal Mercury, for which, as is well known, he has for a long number of years been the collector of accounts. A more considerate and successful collector it would be difficult to find, and he gave offence to none. It was the pursuit of these and allied duties that made him so well known in town. The manner in which the grey-headed old man of 78 years skipped about and jumped on and off the tramcars without calling a halt was often the subject of admiration to those acquainted with him, and of surprise to strangers.

Often has the writer heard it remarked that he was a grand example to young men a third of his age. Blessed with good health, a well-matured physique, thanks to his regular habits, he possessed uncommon energy, and his briskness was a standing protest against the subjects of "Natal fever," a term he always regarded with justifiable derision. Up at 5 o'clock every morning - it was his boast that the town clock never beat him at that hour - he regularly performed an astonishing day's work, and we can well understand the advocates of temperence pointing to him as a grand example and living exponent.

Enthusiasm was part of his nature, and many are living who remember the earnestness with which he has addressed large political gatherings in this town at election and other times. Believing so thoroughly in the capabilities of the Colony, it is almost superfluous to state that he was an ardent supporter and worker for the obtaining of responsible government. Well does the writer remember the sparkle of his eyes and the glow of pride with which he took Sir John Robinson by the hand and congratulated him when the victory was won. It was a great day for him, and he gloried in living to see it, in conjunction with his chief, whom he had known from boyhood. His addresses at the public meetings referred to were characterised by great fervour, and, as he spoke out of the depths of his experience, he told upon the audience.

His affection for old friends was intense, and, as one after another fell from the ranks, it was easy to see how acutely he felt the loss. He made it a duty to show his esteem to the last by attending their funerals, and now to-day his old friends, and his friends of a younger generation, will be at the grave-side, paying the last tokens of respect to a worthy citizen, a good man, and a sincere friend.

To his wife - for a more affectionate couple, ever regardful of each other's interests, could not be found - the bereavement, after a half a century's sojourn together, will be a great trial, and she will have the sympathy of all. Mr. Tyzack was a pattern father, and the eight children (one of whom has pre-deceased him) held him in veneration. There were four sons - Messrs. Richard, Charles, William, and Joseph - and four daughters, one of whom is the wife of the present Town Clerk of Maritzburg. One son and one daughter are in the Transvaal. There are a large number of grand-children, and of these the deceased was passionately fond. With all there will be sincere sympathy in their breeavement.

As showing the great esteem in which Mr. Tyzack was held, flags in town (including one at the Town Hall) were half-masted, some of the stores were draped in black, and some had shutters closed yesterday afternoon. These outward signs of respect were well deserved, for the town has lost a citizen of whom it had cause to be proud, a man of sterling character, and one whom to know was to esteem.

A little more than 78 years ago, he was born in the town of Wells, Norfolk; he came to Natal in the full flush of manhood, and has spent his life in the Colony veritably doing unto his neighbour as he would be done by. Reference has been made to his fondness of the little ones, and this was particularly manifested in connection with the Congregational school treats, when he literally became one of them and laboured hard to promote their enjoyment. Appropriate is it, therefore, that the children at present attending the school should be in the cortege this afternoon, and they are requested to meet at the church at 3.30 to attend the funeral, which takes place at 4 o'clock.

When the flag at the Mercury office yesterday afternoon was placed at half-mast, it was another hand that performed a duty which Mr. Tyzack so sadly and affectionately did for others many a time. The activities of life are over for him. He is gone and we mourn his loss; but in the Mercury office, as in many other circles, he will be tenderly remembered. Richard Webber Tyzack (indecipherable)

The notice shown opposite records William Valentine's business address in October 1851 as 13 London Street, Norwich. His occupation is listed as Haircutter, Wig Maker and Perfumer. The 1851 census lists him as a hairdresser and perfumer, and notes that he employed 4 men.

Notes: The 1869 Pigot & Co. directory lists a John Tyzack as a hairdresser on Finket Street, Norwich. It seems reasonable that this John was a relation, but we don't know of any other children of William's other than the child who died young, and no children are listed in the 1851 census, by which time his wife was already 43.

Birth: 1793/4, in King's Lynn, Norfolk, England

Father: William Tyzack

Married: to Susanna Lee

Children: Occupation: Horse Breaker and Farrier

Death: 1873

Notes: Don Tyzack records a marriage between a Zecariah Tyzack and a Susan Boyce in King's Lynn in 1823. I am assuming for now that this is not this Zachariah, although we have no further evidence of his marriage being to Susanna Lee rather than Susan Boyce, other than terence Tyzack's notes. The date of the Boyce marriage works well with the first child's birthdate, and the 1851 census lists Zachariah's wife as Susan, not Susanna. We must be open to the possibility than Zachariah married Susan Boyce, not Susanna Lee.

* Brandon is a Parish in Thatford union, partly in Norfolk, but principally in Suffolk, under which county full particulars will be found

Notes:
The 1851 and 1881 census shows Zachariah as born in Wells, while in 1891 he is listed as born in Walsingham. The 1851 and 1881 returns are believed because Zachariah is listed differently to his sister (who is shown as born in Walsingham) while the 1891 shows only Zachariah. The 1881 census lists Zacahariah as Zachariah O. Tyzack, but this is likely a transcription error, as is the spelling Zechariah in the 1851 census.
