Edward Twycross (1803 - 1852) was a Dublin silversmith, solicitor, and writer who in 1847 published a book, "The Mansions of England and Wales," that is used as a historical reference for the stately homes of England and in tracing genealogies of members of the British aristocracy.
Earlier in his life, Edward worked as a silversmith in Dublin, his silver hallmark being " TWY+ ". Edward crafted fine Irish Sterling silver in his father's retail shop in Dublin. John Twycross and Son, Goldsmiths, are listed at 69 Dame Street in Dublin City directories from 1815,1819, 1822, 1824 and 1829. An earlier additional address of the retail business was 14 Fownes Street, Dublin (1806–1818). John Twycross was at one time a Master of the Dublin Goldsmiths Company and became Silversmith to Her Majesty and The Lord Lieutenant. Edward also worked with silversmith Edward Power and they sometimes used the same hallmark. The original building still exists and is the present day location of the Mermaid Cafe close by to Trinity College.
