Life and career

Tylor was born in Cripplegate, London, England,[2] the son of Joseph Tylor (1780-1836) and Sarah Maria (Savory) (1789–Deceased), his wife.[3] He trained as a Barrister but did not practice, opting instead to be an educator in Yorkshire and the south of England.[3] While living in Brighton and Lewes in the 1850s, he became a minister.

Tylor compiled and edited memoirs of deceased Friends. He edited and enlarged and published Edward Backhouse's Early Church History and its sequel Witnesses for Christ, after Backhouse's death: both books went through several editions.

Tylor and his wife Gulielma Maria had seven children. Their eldest daughter, Mary (1849–1887), married George Cadbury (1839–1922), the chocolatier,[3] on 14 March 1872[4]. Catherine(1850–1930), their second child, married Alfred Bastin (1847–1917) on 21 March 1872 [5] Their other children, in birth order, are Joseph Sparks Tylor (1851–1922), Elizabeth Tylor (1852–Deceased), Rachel Savory Tylor (1855–1937), Gulielma Tylor (1857–1935), and Theodore Tylor (1866–1887.)

Tylor died in Brighton, Sussex, England, aged 85.
