Robert TYSER

[aj689]

Dear Jayson, and all

The family has some volumes written by Robert Tyser's elder brother, Thomas (of Barking, Essex) where he talks of Robert and Arabella Maria going to Cheshire to visit 'his estate'.  TT also transcribes a couple of letters from AMT, written from Normandy in 1819 and 1820, which mostly talk about Paris, going into raptures about Raphael, for instance, or the Catacombs;  but she also mentions

"...Our arrival in England, depends on my Brothers summons, and we are at last, thank God, going amicably to divide the Estates, which will considerably enhance the value of our Portion"

and

"We took him, when he was a month old to Guernsey, where he was christened by the united names of Tyser and Bayley, we did not enter him here at the Mayoralty (which I believe in fact, we were oblidged to do) but proceeded immediately, for a British Island, for as all our small landed Property is entailed, it may be of the last importance to him at some future day to have an easy access to his Register"

this last, and also a reference to his cutting a tooth (!) makes it probable that Robert Bayley Tyser was born in 1820, but I have not yet found confirmation of this christening.

ps TT doesn't seem ever to go up to Cheshire with his brother, so I have no clues as to Mrs Whiffin.

Hi Antonia

How interesting! Do you have the sources for these references so I could get "hard" copies?

The Thomas Tyser volumes that I refer to are still owned by my Tyser family, and they are manuscript - I'll append a jpeg of a page.  However we only have 3, and he mentions completing his 9th; who knows where the others are?

Thank you very much, Antonia, for sharing this with me.  I hadn't realised they (the vols) were still in the family's possession!

It's wonderful to be able to read Arabella's words here.  Her brother was Peter Bayley (1778-1823).  He was a poet, and seems to have spent most of his life in London where he died on on his way to the theatre on the 23 Jan 1823.  I'm hoping to find his burial! But where does one begin to Start!

Robert Bayley Tyser died 19 Oct 1854 at Pakowhia, Ahuriri from Consumption. His death was recorded at NZ Records Office in 1855. My source of information was  "Shipping Records" in a newspaper.  He married Emily Isabella FitzGerald on 20 September 1849 at Woodlands - the home of her younger brother Thomas Henry FitzGerald of Khandallah (now a suburb of Wellington).
I have located three children
- Peter Tyser (birth date not known). Known to be alive and well when his mother passed away in 1861.  Father Reigner at the Meeanee Mission became his guardian.
- Elizabeth (Bessie) Ann Tyser was born in Wellington, NZ in 1851 and educated in Wellington with her cousin Mary FitzGerald. Her uncle Thomas FitzGerald seems to have taken on the responsibility for her. In 1872 she married William MacCartney.
- Robert Henry Tyser was baptised at Pakowhai on the 15 Aug 1854.

Emily Tyser passed away "after a short but severe illness" on 21 August 1861, in Napier, New Zealand. I cannot find a grave for Emily Tyser at the Napier cemetery and presume her brother Thomas Henry FitzGerald took her to Pakowhai to be buried with her husband Robert Bayley Tyser.

Pakowhai located on the Ngaruroro River has flooded numerous times and changed course several times. Locating the graves will be difficult and may not be possible.

I made a bit of a breakthrough this week:  I discovered that Robert's third wife Arabella Bayley was a married woman (to William Prockter Thomas in 1811). This marriage was dissolved in 1819 via the Exeter Episcopal Court, Somerset Assizes, before landing before the Lords and Commons as a Bill presented by the Earl of Shaftesbury, which finally passed the Commons on 12 May 1819.
If you are interested type in "Prockter Thomas divorce" and then you get Journals of the House of Lords in Google Books which you can follow through (luckily Prockter is v unusual spelling: he was a landowner in the Tiverton/Wellington area and a man of the church: whilst he took afternoon services they got to know each other, as you can read in the evidence.
Arabella and Robert married on (?) 24th May 1819 in Chatham, probably en route for Jersey/Guernsey, where their son Robert Bayley Tyser was born either that year or the following one. I am still piecing it together.
What happened to the children of Arabella and Prockter Thomas?
And what happened to the five children of Robert and Maria Walter? In Thomas Tyser's journal he mentions that Robert visited his children in 1820.
My gt gt gt grandmother, the youngest, Maria Sarah Tyser, sewed a sampler in 1819 giving the address of Harcourt House, Pembury, Kent. In Robert's biography the address 2 Paradise Row in Stoke Newington also crops up early and late - was that the home of the Walter family? Did they look after the young children when Robert left for exile in France? He died at Paradise Row in 1840, after Arabella had died in 1838 in Dijon, France.
Antonia's journals would be useful here !
