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.
Carpenter and Building Contractor. Charles also served on the Durban
Town Council. Charles' first job, when he was 14 years old, was with
"The Natal Mercury", helping to bring out the paper on the hand press.
But, he lost interest in printing and took up carpentering, working in
England, Canada and the United States. In 1878 Mr. Tyzack returned to
Durban and set up as a building contractor. He became a member of the
Town Council and built many of West Street's early stores. After the
Boer War he took his business to Johannesburg, where he lived until his
death.
Charles
emigrated from England to Natal when
he was 3 years
old. He sailed with his parents and siblings on the Edward (passenger
list), departing on 9 January 1850 and arriving on
2 May 1850.
Charles' obituary tells the story of how he was carried
pick-a-back from the Point to the "town" of those days by G.C. Cato. A
few days later he took a wrong turning while following his brother and
sister, got lost in the dense bush which was then Central Durban, and
had to be rescued by a soldier. The whole town was looking for him
before he was found.
At the death of their son in 1917,
Charles and Frances are
recorded
living in Bramley, Johannesburg,
South
Africa.

Johannesburg, Transvaal, South Africa, aged 93
Natal
Mercury, 1940
Mr Charles T.
Tyzack, former Durban Town Councillor and building contractor, who
arrived in Durban as a toddler 90 years ago and got lost in the dense
bush which was then Central Durban, died in Johannesburg on Saturday
night. His funeral took place on Monday. Mr. Tyzack was the third
surviving member of the original family which arrived in Durban in
1850. His brother, Mr. J.G.Tyzack, is still living in Durban and his
sister, Mrs. Eliza Stranack, is in Maritzburg. He was carried
pick-a-back from the Point to the "town" of those days by no less a
person than G.C. Cato, one of Durban's outstanding men, and his parents
pitched a tent which they had brought out with them, next to wooden
huts which had been erected as a temporary shelter for immigrants where
the Durban Central Gaol now stands.
A few days later he
took a wrong turning while following his brother and sister, got lost
in the bush and had to be rescued by a soldier. The whole town was
looking for him before he was found.
Mr. Tyzacks first job,
when he was 14 years old, was with "The Natal Mercury", helping to
bring out the paper on the hand press which was used in those days.
But, he lost interest in printing and took up carpentering, working in
England, Canada and the United States.
In 1878 Mr. Tyzack
returned to Durban and set up as a building contractor. He became a
member of the Town Council and built many of West Street's early
stores, mostly demolished long since. After the Boer War he took his
business to Johannesburg, where he lived until his death. Mr. Tyzack
was a strict vegetarian in his later years and after he reached the age
of 50 eschewed doctors, except in case of injury through accident and
medicine. He reached his 93rd birthday some months ago. He leaves two
married daughters, both living in Johannesburg and a son, Mr. Edward
Tyzack, of Durban.

1891: High
Street,

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.
-
In the 1891 census, Edward is
aged 69,
indicating a birth
in 1821 or 1822. The 1851 and 1881 censuses list him as aged 28 and 58
respectively, indicating a birth in 1822 or 1823, but this doesn't work
well with the 1821 baptism.

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.

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.

Obviously this is totally incorrect, but may well be a reversal from
the

at St. George's.

Association F.C. in Durban, founded 1879, so is a pioneer of the
Association game in Natal. Won Greaves' Cup 1883, 1884, 1885, and
1886. Captain 1884 and 1886. During 1888, 1889, and 1900

Durban in Intertowns 1883 to 1888. Played Rugby with Natal Wasps,
and Intertown Durban v. Maritzburg. For many years an
oarsman in the Durban R.C., and considered one of the best strokes in
the club. The crews stroked by Mr. Tyzack won many prizes, the
principal one being the Jubilee Fours in 1887. On retiring
as an active participant in athletic contests, gladly took up the work
for others that had been done for him while he was a player. How
well and enthusiastically he has worked, the following posts held by
him will readily show: Vice President Natal Football Association, 1888
to 1901, when he was made Hon. Life Vice-President;
Vice-President Durban Football Association from its formation, 1896 to
1901, and then elected Hon. Life Vice-President; Vice-Patron

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.

IN THE OLD DAYS
The Tyzack Mark in Durban's Progress
By GWEN CLARKE
The origin of the Tyzack family is interesting. Descendants of the
noble family of du Thisaic of Lorraine became refugees and settled at
Stourbridge, in Worcester, preferring to sacrifice home, country and
wealth for liberty to worship their God in freedom. Thus the Edict of
Nantes sent out of France another family to bring their devoutness,
their industry, and their talents to an adopted land. In Lorraine the
du Thissaics possessed the right and secret of making wonderful stained
glass windows which were famous throughtout the Province. In
Stourbridge they became glassblowers.
Richard Webber Tyzack, who was born at Wells, in Norfolk,
decided, in 1849, that he would do better in the much talked-of new
colony of Natal. In the barque, Edward, he sailed from London in
January 1850, together with his wife and three children, to arrive on
May 4, at Port Natal, after a voyage of 112 days. Among their shipmates
were Mr. and Mrs. George Pay with their young family.
From the Point in a Buck Wagon
When they landed at the Point, Mrs.
Tyzack with the younger two children came on up to Durban town in a
buck wagon. Her husband walked, and the eldest boy, Richard, was
carried up by G.C. Cato on his back. Arrived at the town, there was no
house for them; but a tent was found where they stayed for a week or
two. Then Mr. Tyzack hired a room in one of the houses in Pine Terrace
at the corner of Stanger Street, opposite the present gaol. The
immigrants' camp was beyond, on a cleared patch of ground among the
bush and swamps. And here, a fortnight after landing in a strange land,
Mrs. Tyzack gave birth to a daughter.
It was not long, however, before Richard Tyzack was able to get
better quarters, for when the Minerva was wrecked a little later in the
year his family were living in a comfortable thatched cottage in Union
Street, and many of the wrecked passengers were looked after by kind
Mrs. Tyzack. indeed, the chief recollection that many of the previous
generation have of Mr. and Mrs. Tyzack is their great kindness and
hospitality, especially to strangers.
Mrs. Foaden, senior, who was Miss Mary Ann Tyzack, has many interesting recollections of old D'Urban and her childhood.
Recollections of Old D'Urban
The old gaol was in West Street,
between School Lane and Plowright Lane, and it was quite a common sight
for the prisoners to be seen with their faces against the barred
windows wishing for their vanished freedom. There was only one
Government School then, and Miss Annie MacLaren, who is well remembered
by many a matron of by-gone days, taught the little Miss Tyzacks. That
school was beyond the big swamp at the bottom of Field Street - a swamp
which stretched as far at the Prince of Wales Hotel. On the corner
opposite the present Criterion Theatre was Royston's sawmill - the
miller himself was another of the "crusty old diehards" who believed
that children should be seen and not heard. When the tide was high the
drain that passed the sawmill was crossed by a plank, as it was too
deep for children to wade through.
Mr. Savery Pinsent, one of the early Mayors of the town, lived
in a cottage next door to the Tyzack home in Union Street. He was a
bachelor, and his house looked as if never duster, broom, nor mop was
used upon it. His meals he toko at Elliott's boarding house which was
at the corner of West and Union Streets.
From Union Street, the Tyzacks moved to a house in West Street.
It was there that they were living when the Umgeni swamped the town in
1857 after four days of continuous heavy rain. The water rushed through
the house setting light furniture afloat; and the children were perched
on tables to keep them out of the wet. John Sanderson, artist and
merchant, has several amusing sketches <indecipherable> worthies abroad in the tempest.
Natal's First Sewing Machine
Mr. Tyzack owned the first sewing
machine imported into Natal. It was a great heavy machine of clumsy
construction but it was a great attraction to the townspeople, and
brought a great deal of business to Mr. Tyzack. A frequent visitor at
that time was Mr. Benjamin Greenacre, who was welcomed by the
hospitable couple when he was a lonely stranger in Durban.
West Street in those forgotten days was not all stores and
offices. Dwelling houses thrust themselves between shop and office, and
their gardens made gay splashes of colour among the dark bush and
white-washed buildings. Madame Vaudam had a fine house on West Street,
with a balcony on which shuttered windows opened in the cool of the
day; this was next door to Payne Bros.' first shop. The Bon Marche now
occupies that site. Old Darby's junk shop attracted the children
always, as they never knew what they would get out of the jumbled stuff
which the old man boasted would supply anything from a needle to an
anchor or a plough to a kitchen knife.
When the railway to Umgeni was opened, in 1867, the whole town
made holiday and celebrated the occasion. All the children had new
dresses and hats. But visitors did not travel by rail to Umgeni that
day. They packed themselves on to the useful ox-wagon and creaked over
the sandy ruts, arriving on the banks of the Umgeni after an hour's
journey ready to join in the frolic of the day. The greatest fun was
caused by the bun and treacle race for the Natives. The buns were hung
on strings from a crossbar and the Natives stood underneath on a
platform with hands tied behind their backs trying to grab with their
teeth at the buns which had been smothered in treacle. Treacle ran over
the boy's faces, down their necks, into their ears and their hair as
they tried to get the bobbing buns into their mouths. All D'Urban
rocked with mirth until its sides ached at this sticky spectacle, which
is Mr. Joseph Tyzack's first remembrance of any public celebration
before he was six years old.
Circuses in D'Urban
Sometimes a circus came to D'Urban
and was allowed to camp on a marshy plot where the Natal Bank was
erected later. The Tyzack children were never allowed to go, but on
their way to school they never failed to wriggle under the tent to have
a look at the forbidden enchanting entertainment. But all they ever saw
was the sawdust and, perhaps, the clown climbing through a paper hoop.
Market was held on the land where the Post Office is now. It was
a hot sandy swamp fenced with wattle poles to keep out the sand. The
auctioneer had a little wooden hut on wheels and from this perch sold
whatever came along - whether cabbages, ivory, leopard skins, an old
cow or a couple of hens.
When the Boys' High School was moved from Cato Cr<indecipherable>
building in Smith Street, now the C.I.D. Headquarters, the old school
was turned into iceworks by Mr. Atkinson. Children found this an
attractive place, for ice was something new and forbidden. Pennies
bought small blocks of ice in those days and the little plutocrats
wishing to their friends "proud," offered an ecstatic lick of the fast
melting block to the lucky chosen.
Mr. R. W. Tyzack, his wife, and Mr. Peter Lennox were the
founders of the first Smith Street Congregational Church. When the
Tyzacks arrived in D'Urban church services were held under the big fig
trees in Smith Street behind the house where Benjamin Greenacre and his
wife lived a few years later and opposite the Prince of Wales Hotel.
the first Congregational minister christened Mary Ann Tyzack in the
'fifties.
The goodness and kindness of the Tyzacks is well illustrated by
this extract from the "Leisure Hour" magazine dated January 10, 1863:
"Mr. W. C. Baldwin, F.R.G.S., in an article entitled 'African
hunting from Natal to the Zambezi' speaks of his return to Durban from
an extended hunting tour during which he and his companions suffered
extreme privation from sickness. He proceeds: 'We were all, I think,
carried out of the wagons in Durban more dead than alive, and I shall
never forget the very great kindness and attention I received from Mr.
and Mrs. Tyzack, to whose home I first went on landing in the Colony,
and where I was now taken. In the course of a few weeks I was able to
go up to Pietrmaritzburg for change of air.'"
This extract was sent to Mrs. Tyzack by a friend who was in
England during the year 1863 and saw the article referred to which she
thought would interest Mr. Baldwin's hostess in D'Urban.
Seacows Near Durban North
Crocodiles were often seen in the
Umgeni where its banks were bordered by high rushes and grasses, and
many narrow escapes were reported by the pioneers when crossing the
river. The Tyzacks several times visited friends who lived across the
Umgeni and at Umhlanga, and each time felt relieved when the oxen
splashed through without sight of the dreaded crocodile. But the
seacows which they saw in the lake not far from Durban North interested
them vry much - they were seeing in the hide a meat that they often ate
- seacow bacon, a pioneer dainty.
The Town Gardens were then sand dunes, covered with reeds, aplms
and bush. To keep the sand from the road level the banks were fenced
with sticks and latticed with small boughs. The other side of the road
was fenced in the same way surrounding the buildings then in front of a
very different St. Pauls Church than the one which to-day faces the
tramway Offices. At the side of St. Paul's was a small wood and iron
building called "Mechanics' Institute." A Mrs. Milne, afterwards Mrs.
Gardiner, was in charge of the library, and for many years Mr. R. W.
Tyzack was Hon. Treasurer to the Mechanics' Institute. This little
society of over 60 years ago was the foundation of the present
Municipal Library of Durban. Mr. tyzack took great interest in its
work, and was never too busy to undertake any affair in connection with
it.
Wher the Tyzacks lived in West Street the town suddenly ended,
and between them and the sea was nothing but dense bush and enormously
high sand dunes. The bush was full of attractions and dangers - snakes,
monkeys, leopards, wild fruits, monkey-rope swings and birds, which the
boys were foreverhoping to catch with snare and bird-lime. This bush
extended from the Point to the Umgeni and beyond.
Christmas in the Early Days
At Christmastime the Tyzack family
would pack themselves into an ox-wagon and travel along the Zululand
road across the Umgeni, the most fearsome part of the journey, which
the children found exciting from start to finish. It was to the home of
the Watsons - a house built near the mouth of the Umgeni in that part
of Durban North called Beachwood - that the Tyzacks journeyed for
christmas festivities, which were as near to those of dear old England
as buxom bustling housewives could achieve in sunny Natal. But what the
children enjoyed even more than the richest of plum puddings were the
great dishes of green mealies, hot and buttery and tender....Mary Ann
and Joe Tyzack still remember those dainties of days that have long
been folded into the book of Time many, many years ago...
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 Minerva.
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.
28 August
1895, in Durban, Natal, aged 78
Natal Mercury 29 August 1895
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.

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.

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.
