James Tymon was the son of John Tymon from Ireland and was, perhaps, the first member of the Tymon family to be born in England. James was born in Kingston upon Hull in 1826.
The Move to Scarborough
James (and his brother John) Tymon moved to Scarborough in the 1840s where he met and married Sarah Peart. Their marriage took place on 19 March 1855. Sarah Tymon was the daughter of John and Patience Peart and she was baptised at St. Marys Church in Scarborough on 6 November 1836. The parish register shows John Pearts occupation as a waiter.
The first record of James Tymons life in Scarborough in the trade directories, produced extensively in the 19th Century, was in the 1867 directory for Hull, Grimsby and Scarborough and James is described as an Old Clothes Dealer trading from 30 Dumple Street. It is not clear whether he had taken a step backwards from his and his father Johns trade of Tailor or whether this new description more accuratley reflects their true occupation!
James died on 4 August 1879 aged 53 years and is buried in Dean Road Cemetery in Scarborough (G.20 6&7). Sarah took on the role of providing for the family of seven children from this point.
James brother John Tymon married Martha Lightfoot at St. Marys on 22 June 1845, though there are very few other records of him.
