I
am a smith, William Tilbury my name,
Here’s
where I live, they call it Crown Lane,
I
have a young son, who’s a smith just like me
And an
older one too, a chairmaker he,
There’s
plenty of Tilburys both here and around
Cousins
have married, I’m sure you’ll have found,
But
with all of us doing a much needed trade
We
are playing our part in how Wycombe was made.
William
Tilbury's son, Frederick, was the father
of Georgiana Tilbury who married Charles Edwin Skull. They
are no
doubt related to the John Tilbury who sold his factory to Charles Edwin
Skull.
