Lawrence Holme Twentyman

Cape Colony 

Active c. 1818-1837

Born on 5 May 1793 in Liverpool, he was the son of John Middleton Twentyman and Phoebe Holme. After an apprenticeship as a clock and watchmaker he arrived at the Cape on 12 June 1818. In 1821 he married Betsy Burrell. He left the Cape in 1832 returning for short periods in 1835, 1837, 1844 and in 1846. The firm was described as Twentyman & Co (1832) and Twentyman and Warner (1842-1844) continuing the trade under various styles until 1887 but no mention of watchmaking or silversmithing activity is known after 1837.
