My Tizzard Family Page
This page will describe our research into the Tizzard branch of the family. For more information on the Tizzard family, check out Brian Olivey's web site. He has been very helpful in tracing back the family.
This page is in the early stages of construction. For now, we include a .pdf copy of our Tizzard tree.
Raymond Frank Tizzard
My grandfather, Raymond Frank Tizzard was born on June 12, 1888 at Colyton in Devon. At the time of the 1891 census, he was living with his mother (his father having died in 1890) at the Bakery, Northleigh, near Honiton, in Devon. Also living there was William Swain, a baker's assistant and a servant Samuel Lettern. His mother later married William Swain.
Prior to the first world war, Frank Tizzard was a jockey and travelled to South Africa in that capacity. During the war he was assigned to loading horses for the war in North Devon, where he was injured. Right after the war he married Dorothy Killick who, despite the marriage certificate, was in fact only 18, having been born in 1900. After the war, Frank (as he was known), took a job as chauffeur and trainer at Finkley House, near Smannell in Hampshire.

Dorothy and Frank separated in the mid 1930's and she went to live in London. He remained at South Lodge, Finkley until his death of Pancreatic Cancer on January 24th, 1942.
