Hi,
I am trying to trace the death of Reverend Isaac Twycross. This record is held by Hackney Archives: Ref: M307 ADMON and WILL Description: Of Rev. Isaac TWYCROSS Hoxton. Hoxton Square, Nos. 7, 34 and 35. Strand. Helmet Court: 2 messuages let to Messrs. Morgan and Saunders. Date: 29 Apr 1820. I can't get to Hackney but wondered if anyone knows if this confirms that he died in 1820?.
He was probably born on 23/08/1731 in the City of London, England. He married Sarah Cartwright on 16/11/1782 in the Parish Church of Christchurch, Newgate Street, City of London, England. The couple had at least three children, all daughters.
Thank you and kind regards,
Coreen

Died 26 June 1819 "in his 75th year", so born circa 1745.

"Twycross was one of the masters at Kingswood in 1770-2. He was ordained deacon on June 24, 1781, and priest by the Bishop of Chichester at his palace in December. He was licensed as Lecturer of St. Edmund the King on October II, 1786, and as Curate of St. Leonard's, Shoreditch, on March 21, 1792, at 60 a year."

Thanks. Haven't got access to FindMyPast but have found it via Ancestry.

From his Will it appears that he had three illegitimate children, Sarah, Susannah and Isaac, (born between 1799 and 1803), with a lady named Susannah Pelton. He also had three legitimate daughters, Sarah, Mary, and Elizabeth, (born between 1784 and 1789), with wife, Sarah Cartwright. I can't trace a DOD for wife, Sarah. I wonder if she died before he started his affair or if she left because of it??

... he had three illegitimate children, Sarah, Susannah and Isaac, (born between 1799 and 1803), with a lady named Susannah Pelton.
Those 3 illegitimate children were all baptised on the same day
- 28 Dec 1813 in Wanstead Essex.
Whereas the children of Isaac and Sarah were baptised at the time of their births in Shoreditch Middlesex.
-
Yes, I saw that. I think wife, Sarah, probably died between the birth of her last child in 1789 and the birth of Isaac's first illegitimate child in 1799 but then why didn't he ever marry her? Perhaps Susannah Pelton was also married. I can't find out a great deal about her via Ancestry.

Hi, yes, thanks for that. Seems that he never married their mother.
