Whilst at Swansea he fell from maintop resulting in his death, April 1899.

Being a unusual name would there be any family relatives out there

It certainly is an unusual name! I can't find a single one in the online German telephone books. OK, so not everybody is listed these days, but...

There is one Tyszyk, but that's it.

There is a good chance that the name has been "softened" over time, to make it easier to understand, i.e. there may well be descendants, but they might spell it differently.

Best regards,

I think it looks more Polish.

There was a Walter Tyczyk in the US in the 40s and possibly the same person with spelling variant of Tyczka too.

I think it looks more Polish.

Definitely. Or at least E. European.
But Charles stated that Johann was German, and if he (Charles) is looking for living relatives, they might well be outside of Germany (and Poland) and may well have altered the spelling of the name.

I'm not good at social media stuff  but I had a quick look on Facebook and I can only find one person in Poland with this exact spelling. Maybe I'm doing it wrong! 

Best regards,

If it is Polish or East Europen it is most likely a shortened version 
Is it possible that he was Prussian ?
