Please note

Because of the lack of published trowel and masonry tool histories, the information here is based on other sources that may be less reliable and certainly are incomplete. These include eBay and tools that I purchase myself that are the starting points for my research. I will write what I know as I learn it. If what you read here interests you, please check back often and look for revisions and corrections. Scanned catalogs are on Archive.org as pdf files. A few are links to other websites.

The Descendants of John Tyzack (1747-1796), With Their Sheffield Companies

Two of the sons of John Tyzack (1747-1796) were tool and cutlery makers, and they and their descendants founded 5 tool and cutlery companies in and around Sheffield and one in London. With my wife's assistance and information from Tyzack.net and other internet sources, we have created this family tree to show Sheffield's most prominent tool making family. The companies are:

Joseph Tyzack & Son, Ltd.
Needham, Veall & Tyzack, Ltd. (cutlery only)
S. Tyzack & Son (Shoreditch, London)
Tyzack & Holmes Ltd. (measuring tools)
W.A. Tyzack & Co., Ltd.
W. Tyzack, Sons & Turner, Ltd.

    You could find considerably more about the Tyzack family and their tools by entering Tyzack into Google. It normally comes up third.
