Do you know if Letitia was related to the Wokingham Twycrosses?

Hi Joyce,

I see now how you made that connection, I am not that experienced at this.
David,  I do now remember that "Images of England" photo. In the Warr clinic photo you can see that the brick is painted on one side of the house and seems to meet the original red brick, is that correct?
Shillen, I was interested in your comments how would I pm you?

Hi, "behind the frogs"
Thanks again for this very specific information, which has been so helpful all along.. I have been trying to find an opportunity to visit England, Wokingham and Brook House. I wanted to also personally thank Jim for the booklet he wrote about the history of  All Saints Church that included family details about the stained glass windows etc.
So I gather that part of the house is in its original condition. Do you know who lives there at present? Is it also behind a high fence?
thanks.
PS who are the over 5,000 people looking at these pages? I would have thought that bloggers were only interested in their own relatives.

Hi,
This is Emmarine. you can find me on earlier pages and I am descended from the Twycross family who lived at Brook House with their 12 children until the 1860's.  I believe it is now the Warr clinic.
You have some interesting memories of Wokingham.
What did you find at Brook house , or praps I could send you an email.
These people on this posting have helped me a lot with my family history.
I am also interested to see how much of the original house remained after the renovation.
Thanks

Thanks for going to the trouble of answering with this valuable informtion.  I also looked at the Mermaid pub website that has some very good photgraphs. Is the entrance at the left double arch.?
What directories did you use to discover this?

Since you know Dublin history, if you have time  could you find out any other facts about this family? I am located in New York and am most grateful to you and the other gentleman,
thanks.

Thanks, I saw that also. The shamrock on the tongs seemed to confirm the Irish connection. I know a lot of records were destroyed in Ireland.
The only personal info about Edward was that he had a subscription to a topography magazine, with his address.
Twycross, Edward, Esq., Upper Ormond-Quay, Dublin
Is this a dock. Do you know where this is, and what is there now?
thanks,
Chris

I know of a Ross family that went to Australia in the 1950's and were related to clergy I think. One member born in about the 1920's was a bricklayer.

Thanks, Christopher for your research. How did you come across this topic?
I have seen a set of his books in the New York City Public Library, and they were part of the original Astor collection. They are large volumes and quite impressive with many engravings.

Do you have any information about Edward Twycross, the silversmith?

Thanks

I am also trying to find out more information about Edward Twycross, the silversmith who worked in Dublin in the 1820's, signing his hallmark as  TWY+,
Edward Power & Edward Twycross of Dublin in 1825.
 and the Edward Twycross who  wrote " Mansions of England and Wales" London 1846

they could be the same person.
