Charles Tylor
Charles Tylor (2 November 1816 – 14 March 1902) was an English Quaker author. He was the founding editor of Quaker weekly publication, The Friend.[1] He was a Recorded Minister of the Religious Society of Friends.
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]
Tylor died in Brighton, Sussex, England, aged 85.
