Life and career

Tylor was born in Cripplegate, London, England, the son of Henry Tylor (1780-1836) and Mary, his wife, born Savory.[2] He trained as a Barrister but did not practice, opting instead to be an educator in Yorkshire and the south of England.[2] 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 two children. Their elder daughter, Mary, married George Cadbury (1839 – 1922), the chocolatier.[2] Their daughter, Catherine married Alfred Bastin on 21 March 1872 [3]
