Alfred Tyzack

Father: Charles Thomas Tyzack

Mother: Frances (Lofflyn) Tyzack

Death: 1916

Notes: Alfred is possibly the Alfred James Tyzack who actually died on 29 November 1899 at the Legislative Hospital in Pietermaritzburg, of pneumonia (death certificate). He was a private in Thorneycroft's Mounted Infantry. The informant on this death certificate was E.C. Tyzack, "brother of deceased" who could be Edward Charles Tyzack, a son of Charles Thomas Tyzack. Don Tyzack's pedigree from Norfolk to Australia has Alfred, the son of Charles Thomas Tyzack dying in 1916, but I have not been able to corroborate this fact, nor have I been able to find definitive parents for Alfred James Tyzack. Alfred James Tyzack is buried in the Commercial road cemetery in Pietermaritzburg.

In her marriage record, Alice is both listed as, and signs her name as, "Alice Sophia Smith", but is shown as the daughter of Miles Juler.

Occupation: 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, building many of West Street's early stores. Charles also served on the Durban Town Council in 1892-3 (Natal Blue Book 1892-3 pS5). After the Boer War Charles took his business to Johannesburg, where he lived until his death. In 1906 Charles was awarded a patent for an improved sun blind (Journal of the Transvaal Institute of Mechanical Engineers 1905-1906 1892-3 p193).

Notes: 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.

Death: 1940, in Johannesburg, Transvaal, South Africa, aged 93

Obituary: 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.

My grandfather Francis Barry Smith served in a British regiment as a Captain, with his rank allowing him to ride a horse. He spent his time in World War I in Mesopotamia, now Iraq ans was stationed in the desert an in Bagdad.
p8
   My parents were married in March 1960 in Hillcrest on the front lawn of Westerford, my Grandfather's siz acre property with its gracious 100 year old colonial style iron roofed homestead.
A magnificent feature of the house was it wide pillared verandahs on three sides where the family could enjoy tea while gazing over the green lawns and majestic old trees. The front door was an old oak handmade stable door that opened its halves into the spacious interior with its beautiful Oregon floor boards and antique furniture that stood out from the white walls. An old Grandfather clock chimed on the hour as servants were busy at work, cleaning and cooking in their sparkling white starched uniforms.
Granny and Grandpa had four servants, two in the garden, Pungela the cook and a house girl or maid who made the beds, dusted, polished the brass, polished shoes and the list went on. The cook also polished the floors, kept the coal stove clean and then waited at the table, offering the food in silver entrée dishes from person to person while dressed immaculately in pearl whites.
p13
My Grandfather Barry Smith had got too old to maintain his home, Westerford, in Hillcrest and in 1972 he moved in with my great aunt Joy and uncle Gerald in Durban, leaving the house of uncaring tenants who eventually abandoned it.

Francis Barry Smith and Denise Tyzack, on the other hand, had been born in South Africa, and had struggled through the great depression living on a farm in Mooi River.
...
My grandmother Denise Tyzack lost her first love to the Germans in the war to end all wars, and with her soul shattered she wrote the following poems.

Lest we forget
If you could walk the sodden, death-filled trenches,
With the lurid star-shells' weird fantastic gleams,
The thunderous shells, the whistling of the shrapnel,
The awful pauses with the strangles screams -
If you could hear the ranks before the battle,
Passing the hour with merry jest and quip,
Laughing to calm the wildly-beating pulses,
Stilling the passionate prayer on every lip!

Could you but see those men an hour after,
When the flaming, maddened rush is past and o'er,
Still twisting tortured lips into a smile,
Though torn with all the agony of War!
Could you but see their patient, anguished eyes
Grow dim with yearning for the face loved best,
Passing alone, unaided down the Trail
That runs for ever to the boundless West.

Could you but see those little wooden crosses,
With slim white arms outstretched beneath the sky,
Guarding the simple resting-place of heroes
Of those we knew and loved - so young to die!
But, oh the pathos of those humble flowers,
All parched and withered on on unmarked grave,
Laid by some weary, war-worn soul in passing -
A man's last tribute to the deathless brave.

All that they had they gave so freely,
And never paused to reckon up the price,
Strong in the greater love that reckons nothing -
The symbol of the Glorious Sacrifice!
So when the shattered ranks come limping home,
Forget not, but with tender love and pride
Remember those who, smiling, charged for Britain,
Who fell unflinching and unconquered died!
   - Denise W. Tyzack

To the Men of To-day
Men of the mighty Empire! Sons of a glorious line!
List to the words of a nation's dead echoing down through time.
They fought for your land, they bled for your land, and they made her queen of all,
Now, which of you is it who dares stand back at the sound of the country's call.

We heave travelled north in the tracts of ice, and south in the gleaming snows,
And we've swept the seas from east to west with every wind that blows.
Some of us fell on foreign strands and we stiffened side by side;
And some of us pushed where no man had dared, and our bones in the jungle dried.
But at every place we left a mark in the strength of our racial pride.

We gave our all in the glow of youth on Afghan hill and plain,
And we hacked our way through Delhi's gates with Lawrence and Nicholson.
We stood to our posts on the 'Birkenhead'; we charged with the Light Brigade,
And e'en as we passed to the Never Land we were smiling and unafraid.
And every time we held our own by our birth and a dripping blade.

When Nelson called, we leapt to obey like a sweeping human tide,
For the honour of England lay in our hands and all that is England's pride.
We had followed where Drake and Raleigh led to lands of the bold and free,
But on every voyage we left our dead in the blue of some nameless sea.
And these lives were given ungrudgingly for you men of the yet to be.

All this we have done for your England! Land of eternal flame!
Purged with the tears of broken hearts, and the life-blood of the slain.
Men of this glorious Empire, borne on this sacred mould!
Follow on in the steps we have made and die like the Sons of Old.
   - Denise W. Tyzack

1891: High Street, Wells-next-the-Sea, Norfolk

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.

TYZACK, J., Wells, Norfolk, Inventor and Manufacturer.—Tyzack's British razor, ground out of the solid steel.

Chambers's Journal 10 June 1865 p354 (William Chambers, Robert Chambers)
There is a certain Mr Tyzack, a gentleman who has given to the shaving world one of the greatest boons that could be conferred upon it, and yet, I dare say, not one of my readers ever heard his name before. I myself, who owe him a deep debt of gratitude, am ignorant of his country, and even of the age in which he flourished; all I can certify is, that from the age of fifteen to that of thirty, I never had an easy shave, though I tried razors of every price and temper; that the invariable badness of the last-named quality was contagious, and an exquisite benevolence with which I have been dowered by nature, thence began to deteriorate; that a friend, anxious to preserve a specimen of equanimity to the world, procured me a Perfect Razor, the last that was to be had, bearing the words Tyzack's Double Patent upon the blade; and that, ever since that happy day, I have never cut or scarified my chin, and never made use of violent or improper language before breakfast. For the last five or six years, indeed, shaving has been no more trouble to me than washing my hands; but alas the reader cannot benefit by my experience. I have made numerous inquiries of a multitude of cutlers and barbers in a host of British towns, and have never found one who had even heard of the instrument. How can I describe it? It is not wedge-shaped, but consists of an excessively thin blade, with a thick back, like that which may be seen sometimes to those short saws which are used by butchers to divide bones. The peculiarity of this formation, is that the edge of the blade cannot grow blunt until it is worn away to the back, and consequently it cannot be sharpened or ‘set,’ and requires no stropping; only, if a speck of rust attack its edge, or careless contact with any hard substance notch it, it is irretrievably done for; and this, combined with apparent high price, may account for its want of popularity.
Thus if my treasure is put away damp, or gets into the hands of a person intent upon suicide, it will be spoiled, and I shall have to fall back upon my stock of ordinary wedge shaped razors. Never, never! Rather let me go about the world with a fiery furze-bush under my chin. The only drawback to the comfort of this razor consists in the words Double Patent engraved upon it. It is always troublesome to have a riddle buzzing in one's head in the early morning, especially if one has had salmon for dinner, or inadvertently drunk a cup of green tea the night before, and I must own that that inscription harasses me sometimes while I am shaving. What can a double patent be? Perhaps the non-success of the razor is, after all, attributable to too great anxiety on the part of the inventor to secure the credit and profit of his idea, and a double patent may be something of so stringent a nature as to render the sale illegal even by Mr Tyzack himself.

James is recorded as an ironmonger on his son William's marriage certificate in 1852.

Effects under £1,500.
5 August. The Will of James Tyzack late of Wells next the Sea in the County of Norfolk Jeweller and Perfumer deceased who died 27 November 1860 at Wells next the Sea aforesaid was proved at the Principal Registry by the oaths of Mary Tyzack of Wells next the Sea aforesaid Widow the Relict and William Valentine Tyzack of the City of Norwich Hair Dresser the Brother the Executors.
An excerpt of James's will reads:
Glass, Tools & Tyzacks chapter 19 (Don Tyzack, Robert Chambers)
Subject to the mortgage now affecting my son William Baker Tyzack...And whereas my said son now stands in debt to the sum of five hundred pounds Now I do hereby declare my will and mind to be that in case the said sum...shall be due to me at my decease from my said son shall pay in trust...at the rate of four pounds per cent per annum unto my said dear wife.

Census:
1841: High Street, Wells-next-the-Sea, Norfolk
1851: London Street, Norwich, Norfolk (other records indicate the exact address as 13 London Street, where his brother conducted business. I wonder if James's presence in Norwich at the 1851 census was as a visitor, since all his other occupation records relate to business in Wells, both prior to, and later than, 1851.)

James's father-in-law, Benjamin Brown, ran the Wheatsheaf public house which was located on Freeman Street at the West corner of Black Horse Yard. The building was formerly the home of John Fryer, sailing master (and Captain Bligh loyalist) on the Bounty during the infamous mutiny. After Benjamin's death in 1856 the Wheatsheaf passed briefly to his wife, Sophia, and then to James who is listed as the licensee from 1858 to 1859. During that time he was embroiled in a legal dispute and by 1861 the Wheatsheaf was in the hands of his brother, Augustus who sold the pub by auction in November 1861.

James Tyzac was in dispute with William Beckerton, brewer, foreman to Mr. William Chapman over repayment of £9 8s 8d said to have been advanced at different times, to allow Tyzack to settle his beer and porter bills. At Court Friday 5th August 1859, His Honour announced that the evidence was only oral and could only be substantiated at a later date, should a book, said to contain account of the transactions, be discovered and presented to the Court. The Defendant was freed from responsibilities attendant upon an established claim against him and the Plaintiff was nonsuited..

BOATING.
NATAL
Rowing has been carried on in Natal for the past twenty five-years, and when a recognised rowing club was established the sport was put on a good basis and managed by capable wet-bobs. The season in Durban generally lasts eight months, very little rowing taking place in the few winter months, when the short days are unsuitable for business men indulging in a spin on the Bay after the day’s work is over. Racing did not make great headway for many years, through want of good boats and proper coaching. The united efforts of such enthusiastic oarsmen as Messrs. A. E. Hammond, J. G. Tyzack, and A. E. Thiselton, about 1880, brought rowing to the front in Natal, and since then old workers have given up their honorary positions to the younger generation, who are equally good and enthusiastic, with the result that the regattas and race days at the Port are events of great importance, and are keenly followed by the populace. The competitors, by taking greater trouble in preparing for races, have raised the standard of excellence, and now better form and quicker times are generally recorded.
Two men well known in boating circles, J. Tyzack and Boyne, have set a capital example to all aspirants for honours on the Bay. These men, when gaining their early victories, spared no pains in training both on shore and in the boat; consequently they were always to be found at their posts fit and well, and by their untiring energy and pluck put confidence into their crews.
... The Durban Rowing Club was established in November 1874, and from its inception has always controlled boating as a sport in Natal.
... The season 1886-87 was a very satisfactory one, alike in the number of events contested, new members enlisted, and the state of the finances. The club had no liabilities, the first time for ten years, and possessed a boat-house, a good stock of boats and oars. The Club Fours was won by Alf. Brown’s crew. F. Beningfield’s crew accounted for the Junior Fours. This year being the Queen’s Jubilee, a Jubilee Fours was arranged, and also a race for Jonsson’s Challenge Cup. Tyzack’s crew won both events—the former proving the best event race of the season, when only half a length separated the two leading crews.
The record for season 1887-88 only comprised three races, the Junior and Senior Fours and the Challenge Cup race. Jameson stroked the winning crew in the Junior Fours; Tyzack the other two races. Two very good times were made in these races over the usual one mile Congella course—the Senior Fours being rowed in 7¾ minutes, the quickest on record, brought about chiefly through the introduction of the new inrigged racers bought from J. Salter of Oxford.
... Officers—Patron, His Excellency Sir Walter Hely-Hutchinson; President, J. W. Leuchars, Esq.; Vice-President, H. R. Collins, Esq.; Captain, J. G. Tyzack; Vice-Captain, W. Cross; Hon. Secretary and Treasurer, W. Gilbert.

TYZACK, Joseph George, Accountant; Head of Harvey, Greenacre & Co's Counting House whose employ he entered in Oct., 1876; b. 27th Dec., 1860, at Union St., Durban; s. of Richard Webber Tyzack; m., 5th Nov., 1890, Eunice Gertrude Rowe; 6 children. Educ. Durban High School and Mr F. S. Smith's, Upper Glenwood, Berea. Res., Musgrave Rd., Durban. Was a foundation member of the Natal Wasps F.C., the first 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 played for the Victoria Athletic F.C. winning the Greaves' Cup, and in 1890 the Charity Cup as well; Captain 1889 and 1890. Captained 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 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.

In the middle of an English literature lesson, all the sirens and church bells in the town rang out and ships in the bay sounded their hooters. At first we did not realise what had happened. Then Joy Tyzack leapt to her feet and shouted, "It's peace! It's peace!" We all rushed to the windows. Miss Moore Smith, who was taking a class in the garden, came running up with the girls shouting and waving and presently a message was sent around the school that we could all go home at once.

Birth: England Birth Index (3Q1848 St Geo East vol 2 p91); Louisa's death certificate states her age at her death on 29 August 1926 as 79 years, 2 months and 8 days, indicating birth on 21 June 1847. The year is surely one off as the birth registration is in 3Q1848, but likely the months and days are correct so I have deduced the birth date to be 21 June 1848.

Vincent was born on 14 August 1885, in Birkenhead, Cheshire, England, and baptised on 3 September 1885 in St Peters, Liverpool, Lancashire, the son of Adolphus Rupert Large and Annie Eleanor Garner. Vincent was an officer in the Royal Naval Reserve. He was a probationary sub-lieutenant and confirmed as a sub-lieutenant on 1 October 1911 (London Gazette 13 August 1912 p5999). Vincent was promoted from sub-lieutenant to lieutenant on 4 December 1913 (London Gazette 8 September 1914 p7092). In 1917 he was mentioned in dispatches by the Commander-in-Chief, Cape of Good Hope Station, describing the later coastal operations by H.M. ships against German East Africa (London Gazette 15 June 1917 p5956):
On the 21st August, in continuance of the policy of harassing Dar-es-Salaam, "Vengeance" and "Challenger" (below - Photo Ships) bombarded various gun positions; and during that night "Challenger" carried out a further bombardment, firing 50 rounds of 6-in. over the town into the railway station. On the 23rd, 26th, 28th, 30th and 31st August, and on the 1st September, other limited bombardments took place, and on the 3rd September the whalers "Pickle" (Lieutenant H. C.

Mary Jane Baker Tyzack

Birth: 7 November 1852, at High Street, Wells next the Sea, Norfolk, England

Baptism: 5 December 1852, in Wells next the Sea, Norfolk, England
Mary Jane is recorded as the daughter of William Baker Tyzack, ironmonger of Wells, and Charity Tyzack. She was born on Nov. 7. and baptised on Dec. 5.

Father: William Baker Tyzack

Mother: Charity (Juby) Tyzack

Occupation: Housekeeper

Notes:
According to Sands & McDougall of 1892 & 1893 she resided at Auburn Road, Hawthorn and in 1894 at 99 Auburn Road although a check of the Hawthorn rate books failed to find her as either an owner or occupier? Coincidentally Mary's sister Maria was first listed in 1894 and from that year onward Mary Jane wasn't listed but Maria was, at least up until 1910?

In 1899, Mary Jane was appointed an executrix of her father's estate, and her address at that time is listed as Cranmore street, Hawthorn (the same address as her late father) (The Argus (Melbourne, Victoria) 17 August 1889 p14). Mary Jane was later sued with regard a property sale made in her role adminstering her father's estate, and after some peculiar testimony about Mary Jane carrying around gold coins in her bag, in which it appears that Mary Jane is in collusion with the plaintiff against the estate, the suit was dismissed with costs.
The Argus (Melbourne, Victoria) 19 February 1903 p8

     CLAIM TO PROPERTY.
JUDICIAL CROSS-EXAMINATION.
Mr. Justice Hodges was engaged yesterday in hearing an action brought by George William Owen, of Hawthorn, agent, against Thomas William Tyzack and Mary Jane Tyzack, as executors of William Baker Tyzack, who died in 1889, and Hannah Owen, wife of the plaintiff. The claim was for the recovery of a piece of land, with a house, situated in Haines-street, Hawthorn, it being alleged that the defendant Hannah Owen, who is the registered proprietor, holds the property as a trustee only. It was stated that in 1891 the defendant Mary Jane Tyzack arranged with the defendant Hannah Owen to buy the property on her behalf, she being disabled from purchasing it directly by reason of her trusteeship. The property was subject to a mortgage of £600 to the Victoria Mutual Building Society, and had been put up to auction, when £700 only was bid for it, the reserve being £900. The plaintiff purchased the property for £850 from the defendant Thomas William Tyzack, paid the £250 to the estate and arranged with the building society for the balance. The Owen family afterwards moved into the property, and still occupied it, its present value being £550. Dealings afterwards look place with respect to the property, the building society being paid off. The plaintiff now alleged that he had acquired for £250 the interest of the defendant, Mary Jane Tyzack in the land, and he sued for its recovery, the defendant Hannah Owen declining to admit the rights of the plaintiff or of Mary Jane Tyzack.
   In support of the alleged transfer of Miss Tyzack's rights by the plaintiff a document was produced purporting to acknowledge receipt of the £250, which Miss Tyzack in the box said had been paid to her by the plaintiff in instalments extending over two years.
Mr. Barrett.—Did you write out that receipt independently of the plaintiff?—Yes.
Can you tell me what is in it?—It is two years ago.
   Mr. Justice Hodges.—Can you write a similar receipt now?—I don't know.
   Mr. Justice Hodges (to the Crier).—Give the witness pen and ink and paper, and let her write a similar receipt.
   The witness then wrote in the box a form of receipt, which, however, differed in several respects from the one alleged to, have
been originally written by her.
   Mr. Justice Hodges.—You say that you got this £250 from time to time in gold?—Yes.
   Did you always carry it away in your purse?—Yes.
   I see one of the amounts was £50. Was that in gold?—Yes.
   Did it go into your purse?—(Hesitatingly)—No.
   How did you carry it then?—I had a banker's bag to carry it in.
   What did you do with the £250?—I spent it at Traralgon. .
   You were at that time acting as housekeeper, and getting 10/ a week wages?—Yes.
   How did you spend it?—I had losses in cattle dealing, and I paid £30 for debt, and I brought £25 back to Melbourne.
   What cattle-dealing had you?—I bought a cow for £4/15/. and it died.
   Mr. Justice Hodges.—That will do.
   At this stage counsel for the parties conferred, and after the luncheon hour the plaintiff accepted a nonsuit with costs.
   Mr. Davis (instructed by Messrs. Westley and Dale) appeared for the plaintiff; Mr. Moule (instructed bv Messrs. Willan and Collins) for the defendant Thomas William Tyzack, and Mr. Herbert Barrett (instructed bv Mr. Blair) for the defendant Hannah Owen, the defendant M. J. Tyzack being unrepresented.

According to a letter written by Mary's sister-in-law Maria Helen Tyzack to her son Walter Eric Baker Tyzack on the 14th of October 1932, Mary was apparently blind. "I have been sending Mary four or five pounds a year extra but there is no obligation only because she is blind."

Mary's death notice states that Mary had been resident at Lower Bethanga for the past 25 years - i.e. 1910 until 1935 (Albury Banner and Wodonga Express (New South Wales) 18 January 1935 p46).

Death: 15 January 1935, at Albury District Hospital, New South Wales, Australia, aged 82

The death occurred at the Albury District Hospital on Tuesday of Miss Mary Jane Baker Tyzack, aged 82 years, who had resided at Lower Bethanga for the past 25 years. She is survived by two brothers, Messrs. Henry and Thomas Tyzack, and one sister, Miss Maria Tyzack, of Melbourne. Burial took place in Albury cemetery on Wednesday afternoon.

     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 took 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 very 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, palms 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.

Durban 1824-1910: The Formation of a Settler Elite and its Role in the Development of a Colonial City p96 (Anna Christina Bjorvig, 1994) :
Richard Webber Tyzack who arrived in 1850 had to support his wife, Louisa, and children as a tailor in a tent set up in Union Street (Block K, Erf 14). The property was leased from the Durban Town Council, and had a value of £14 in 1855. Tyzack, serving as Councillor from 1861 and as Mayor in 1866, gained more wealth so that by 1877 he had acquired Lot 5 in Block L worth £1 080. By 1884 the same property amounted to the total rateable value of £1 350. At his death in 1895 only property worth £1 130 was left to his wife and 7 children.

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 to 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, resigned on 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.

Obituary:
Natal Mercury Thursday 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 bereavement.
   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)

Richard Webber Gasgoyne Tyzack

Birth: 24 May 1906, in Durban, Natal, South Africa

Father: William Henry Tyzack

Mother: Agnes Stennett (Roff) Tyzack

Education: Michaelhouse school, Natal

Married: Joyce Harriett Gwendoline (Jervis-Butter) Hill on 19 May 1934, in Nigel, Transvaal, South Africa

Occupation: Farmer, farm manager at Tshaneni farm, near Mkuzi, Natal. In 1935, Richard was a mine surveyor, working underground at the Sub Nigel gold mine in Nigel, Transvaal.

Notes: The spelling of Richard's third name has been the source of lots of confusion. His school magazine (S. Michael's Chronicle December 1935 p70) spells his name as "Richard Webber Gascoigne Tyzack" and his elder sister is named Joy Gascoigne in all documentation, including her own signature on her marriage certificate. In his father's probate death notice, which was signed by Richard, his full name was manually altered from the typed "Richard Webber Gascoigne Tyzack" to read "Richard Webber Gascoyne Tyzack". In Richard's father's will, his own father spells the name "Richard Webber Gascoigne Tyzack" but in the letters of administration certifying Richard as an executor of that estate, we see "These are to certify that Richard Webber Gasgoine Tyzack (described in Will as Richard Webber Gascoigne Tyzack"). Richard death records and his own will spell his middle name as Gasgoyne, which I therefore take as being correct.

Death: 6 September 1935, at New Goldfields Hotel, Main Road, Nigel, Transvaal, South Africa, aged 29
The cause of death is listed as a pistol shot, bullet passing through brain. Death was instantaneous.

Burial: 17 September 1935 in Main cemetery, Nigel, Transvaal, South Africa. The grave is located in the Church of England section, block A #19.

Obituary:
S. Michael's Chronicle December 1935 p70

RICHARD WEBBER GASCOIGNE TYZACK.
Richard Tyzack entered Michaelhouse in February, 1922, and left at Easter, 1924. During his last year he played for the School at Rugger and Cricket, being awarded his second colours at both games. He was in the Matriculation Form when he left, and his bright, cheerful character made him a popular figure.
After leaving Michaelhouse he worked in Durban for a time with his father, and then managed a farm in the Mkuzi district of Zululand. Several years ago he was attracted to a job in the mines, and recently married. His death came as a great shock to his relatives and many friends.

WHAT MR. TYZACK SAYS.
Mr. T. W. Tyzack, of 378 Little Bourke Street, Melbourne, has had 50 years' experience as a poultry farmer, and his opinion on the poultry outlook was sought by an Independent representative. Questioned how his poultrymen can sell eggs at 1s 4d with wheat at 8s 3d, Mr. Tyzack replied: "They don't use wheat; and they have gone off bran, which was the cause of it coming down lately. Maize meal is the popular substitute. The Melbourne papers made a great mistake, in saying maize is bad food for poultry. Maize is in common use in New South Wales, and the leading pen in the present Hawkesbury competition is maize fed. Allowing for the 6lb difference in the relative weight for maize and wheat a bushel, maize at 5s 6d is equal to wheat at 6s. And the present price of wheat is 8s 3d. Besides maize meal, poultry keepers are using malt combings. rice meal, pea meal, marrows, pumpkins, and more green stuff. Year in and year out a hen costs from 1½d to 2d a week to feed. When
going into figures for the information of the Government Statist, that official was inclined to estimate the weekly cost at 1¼ d; but 2d would be nearer the mark now. For foodstuffs every year, poultrymen pay producers £300.000. The industry is not going to be knocked out by one setback, It is always going up and down; and in the 50 years I have been poultry farming I have seen many such difficulties, but they were always got over. So will this one, I note the fine rain you have had in Bendigo and district, which will help the local poultry people a lot."

VETERAN FANCIER PASSES
By the death of Mr. Thomas William Tyzack, which occurred at his home at Parkville (V.) on Thursday. August 5, Victoria has lost one of the oldest figures connected with the poultry and dog world. The news will be received with profound regret, for his strong character and great knowledge of all things pertaining to the fancy accumulated during his long association with it made him unusually admired and respected.
Mr. Tyzack, who was 82 years of age, had been in indifferent health for some time, and early last week had a severe fall, which seriously injured his hip, and from which he failed to recover.
Born at Wells (England), he came to Australia In 1864, and soon associated himself with dog and poultry matters. Among his many activities in this direction, he was instrumental in forming the original Essendon Poultry and Dog Society, of which body he was secretary for many years. About 1889 he took rooms in the Rialto, Collins street, and in 1890 printed and edited the "Australian Poultry and Dog Gazette," which thrived for several years. In 1912, with the help of the late Mr. C. S. Turner, Mr. Tyzack produced "Tyzack's Annual," a publication which gave the only complete record from a fancier's point of view of dog and poultry matters in this State, and a few years later he also produced a useful little work on turkeys and ducks. Mr. Tyzack leaves two sons, Gordon and Walter, the latter, of whom is following in his father's footsteps, and is regarded as one of our best poultry judges.

PROMINENT POULTRY MEN
A Pioneer Passes
ONE of the oldest fanciers in the Victorian poultry and dog world passed away when Mr T. W. Tyzack died on August 5, almost 74 years after his arrival in this State.
Mr Tyzack was born at Wells, Somerset (Eng.), and came to Victoria when nine years of age. He was not here long before he became interested in fowls, and exhibited several breeds. He was still a young man when, in 1890, he founded the Essendon Poultry Society, which used to stage first-class shows of fowls and dogs.
Mr Tyzack launched the Australian Poultry and Dog Gazette on March 15, 1890. and the journal was at that time the only one in Victoria devoted solely to the fancy. He was one of the best known judges in the Commonwealth, and had made the awards at mast of the
leading shows, both in Victoria and other States.
Mr Tyzack imported many breeds, including Minorcas, Indian Games, White Wyandottes, Buff Orpingtons, in addition to several varieties of ducks. He also evolved his own strain of Scotch Greys, which were at that time believed to be the first in the State.
The poultry requisites business founded by the late Mr T. W. Tyzack is now conducted by his son, Mr Walter Tyzack.

HENZELL, TYTTERY AND TYZACK FAMILIES.
MR. URBAN,—In the GENTLEMAN'S MAGAZINE for November and December of last year, you published two articles under the head of the “Henzell, Tyttery, and Tyzack families.” The first of these articles has, as a part of the enquiry, “Who are the present representatives of the Tyzack family, and what were the arms borne by them?” I do not find this part of the enquiry answered in the second article, and therefore it may interest the enquirer to know that the arms borne by the Tyzack family down to the year 1769 were gules, three acorns on a chief, three billets. The arms, as above described, are in existence as an impression of a seal, used in sealing a letter written in 1769 by Peregrine Tyzack, of Newcastle-on-Tyne, and sent to a gentleman in Norwich. Peregrine Tyzack of Newcastle-on-Tyne was the son of Peregrine Tyzack of Norwich, who married a daughter of Joshua Middleton, gentleman, of Newcastle-on-Tyne.
The present representatives of the Norfolk branch of the Tyzack family are descended from Zachariah Tyzack, who came from North Shields in the middle of the last century, and settled at Wells in Norfolk.—I am, &c., WILLIAM V. TYZACK.

Traralgon Record (Traralgon, Victoria) 20 February 1903 p2
A PROPERTY DISPUTE.-A claim by George W. Owen, to be entitled to the transfer of a property in Haines-Street, Hawthorn, worth about £500, came before Mr Justice Hodges in the Second Civil Court on Wednesday. Mr Davis, instructed by Messrs Westley and Dale, appeared for plaintiff, while defendants, Thomas W. Tyzack, of King street, Melbourne, printer ; May J. Tyzack, and Hannah Owen, both of Hawthorn, were represented by Mr Barrett and Mr Moule. The two defendants first named are executors of the will of W. B. Tyzack, who died some years ago. Plaintiff said that the property was purchased by Mrs Owen, on behalf of M. J. Tyzack, who in turn had sold her interest in it to him. Mrs Owen, however, refused to tranfer the land, and the court was asked to order her to do so. The claim was disputed on the ground that plaintiff was in no way entitled to the property, and at the close of his case he was nonsuited with costs.

Notes:
The Natal Who's Who p203 (1906)
TYZACK, William Henry, Marine Superintendent, Union-Castle Mail Steamship Co., Ltd., Point, Durban; b. 16th Sept., 1856, in Durban, 3rd s. of late Richard Webber Tyzack, one of Natal's earliest settlers; m. 1890, Agnes Stennett, d. of Benjamin Roff, of Nailsworth, Gloucestershire; 4 children. Res., "Avening," Currie Rd., Berea, Durban. Went to sea 1872. Joined the Castle Mail Packets Co., Ltd., 1883. Attained to the position of 1st Officer in the Company's Steamship Service, and left the sea life, taking up the appointment of Marine Superintendent for same Company at Port Natal in 1890.

Twentieth Century Impressions of Natal p424 (1906)
W. H TYZACK.

Mr. W. H. Tyzack may be said to have been closely identified with the shipping interests of Natal almost from his cradle. His father, Mr. R. W. Tyzack, settled in the early fifties in Durban, where the subject of this notice first saw the light in 1856. At the age of sixteen Mr. W. H. Tyzack went to sea in a sailing vessel, and twenty-two years ago joined the Castle Mail Packets as third officer on the Dunbar Castle. His practical knowledge of the details of marine business eventually secured for him promotion in the form of the position of manager of the Point branch of the Castle Line, with the rank of Marine Superintendent for Port Natal. This, of course, necessitated his retirement from a seafaring life at a time when he had worked his way up to be chief officer. By way of recreation from the discharge of the duties and responsibilities of his official position, Mr. Tyzack takes a keen interest in outdoor sports, athletics, and manly games. He is Vice-President of the Kennel Club, Patron of the Victoria Athletic Football Club and the Point Cricket Club, Vice-President of the Point Towing Club, and is associated with many other similar bodies.

William, Agnes and one of their daughters are found on the passenger list of the Kinfauns Castle which sailed from Southampton for Natal on 3 August 1901 (The Africa Review 10 August 1901 p201).

Death: 8 June 1932 at the farm "Tshaneni", Mkuzi, Ubombo district, Natal, South Africa, aged 75
The cause of death is listed as heart failure after malaria, of duration about seven days. It is noted that the "deceased refused to see Doctor until the end when doctor was not available."
