The research in this file is 'loose'
as yet with much speculation but too many co-incidences for
it to all be incorrect.
1852
Mathew was born around 1852 in Liverpool based
on census data. The birth is not traced unless it is John Matthew
Tyson, Liverpool 8b, 22 June 1852. (searched all 'Tyson' births on
FreeBMD 1850-1854 for Liverpool and all Tyson births for whole
country 1851-1852, 8 quarters).
1861
Mathew is not found with his parents but there is
a Mathew Tyson aged
10 (b. 1852), scholar, b. Liverpool, living with
Catherine's sister, Sarah McGrevy (married as Sarah Jared)
at the Boy's Orphan
House (Catholic) on Everton Brow. This Mathew is presumed to be correct and
living with his aunt, near to his parents. n.b. his mother Catherine
gave birth in March of 1861 and this may be a factor in Mathew
not being at home on census day, 7th April.
1871
for the census Mathew is with his parents Robert Tyson
and Catherine McGrevy (shown as Catrina here) at 13 Kew Street
in Liverpool, aged 19. He is a unmarried, shipsmith, b.
Liverpool.
1871 in
Liverpool
a family
of Tysons with Harrington connections are in Edgeware Street (2nd
page here)) however the census
(RG 10/5255) shows a likely family, of 5 people, at
5 College Street, St. Bees, Whitehaven -
Peter Tyson, head, married, 43, Shipsmith,
b. Wasdale Cumberland
Margaret, wife, m. 46,
b. St Bees, Cumberland
Joseph, son, 16, plumber
& gasfitter, Maryport, Cumberland
Isabella
Cubin, sister in law, widow,40, dressmaker, St Bees,
Cumberland
William H Cubin, nephew,4, scholar,
Liverpool, Lancs

It looks as
if
Isabella Cubin is Margaret's sister who has lived in Liverpool, given
birth to (at least) William H Cubin, become
widowed and moved to St Bees to live with her sister's family. This is of
interest as she seems to have married Mathew Tyson at Whitehaven
later in 1871, if not Isabella herself then it may have been a daughter
of the same name.
1871
a marriage of a Matthew Tyson (with 2 tt's) to Isabella
Cubin at Whitehaven June 1871, 10b 947, may be my relatives. No other
Isabella marriages or Mathew Tyson marriages are found between 1861
and 1881 (whole country freeBMD).
1881
A Mathew Tyson
with Isabella is in Blackburn, is in
Friday Street (without a house number). This Mathew is
aged 29 (b.
1852),
shunter on railway, born Liverpool. Isabella is 36, cotton
winder, b. Greenock, Scotland, (n.b. this place of birth differs from
1871 census).

(nb, in 1881
there is a family
of Tysons in Church Road, Harrington, led by John Tyson but significantly
he has a
son named Mathew with this same, slightly unusual, spelling variant. There are also a family
of McGrevys living in Church Road, Harrington led by a
James McGrevy. This James was born in Ireland but note that his
daughter is noted as a British Subject, born in Melbourne,
Australia. She is a dressmaker as were many of the Liverpool
McGrevy's.

1891
The 1881 census data for Blackburn might not be of interest except that in
the 1891 census the
presumed same Mathew is at 10 Friday Street. He is a
railway shunter, aged 42, (b. 1849) b. Liverpool, married to Isabella
born Scotland, a cotton winder. With him is a nephew, John T
Tyson, 12, cotton creeler born Bury and a Thomas Tyson brother, 34,
a bone warehouse* labourer, born Liverpool. This Thomas
fits the known brother of 'my'. Mathew, from the 1871 census in Liverpool.
(* There is a bone warehouse at No4 Friday Street, which also appears to be the Royal Albert
Warehouse (or bonehouse), thus bone china is suspected for Thomas's employ, rather than something more sinister). There do not
appear to be any children with Mathew and Isabella.
James
Coupe is a boarder with them and may fit into the loose family group, since at
number 2 Friday Street, next door to the bone warehouse, is another Coupe and with him is another Tyson,
Mary born Ireland. There is also an unmarried Sarah Tyson 35, (b. 1856)
b. Liverpool,
charwoman, in Back Friday Street. This Sarah is living as a boarder with her son, another Mathew Tyson, aged 5 b. Blackburn. The
subject of this file, Mathew
(1852) does have a sister called Sarah of about this age who was also born in
Liverpool. This is presumed to be her.
In 1901
census there is a Mathew Tyson, now 46 (b. 1855) in Blackburn.
Mathew is a railway
shunt horse driver (c.f. 1891 above), born Liverpool, he is married to Bridget, 36,
a cotton ????, born Blackburn, they are living at 5 Chadwick Street,
Blackburn (RG13/ 3916). There is also a marriage Jun 1900, Blackburn, 8e, 855 Mathew
Tyson, to one Bridget Duggan. This would seem to be mine
as only one other
Mathew Tyson marriage is found between Mar 1891 and Dec 1901 but the
bride there is not Bridget and the place is not Blackburn. There is only
one case where there is a bride called Bridget and only one case
where the marriage is in Blackburn, they are both this one.
The addresses,
Chadwick and Back Friday Street, in Blackburn are both close
to each other and to the railway line. Back Friday Street no longer
exists ( web
data gives dates of 1852-1947 for this and suggests that it
is now in, or called, Grimshaw Park).
This
is the last that is known of Mathew Tyson.
