Many newspapers reported his marriage this is one extract from The Queen - Saturday 6 July 1907, page 49:

TENNANT-NORTON.

Holy Trinity Church, Brompton, is an ideal place for the solemnisation of marriage, its centre aisle being exceptionally wide. On the occasion of the Hon. Winifred Norton's marriage on June 26 with Mr William Galbraith Tennant, the altar and chancel were magnificently decorated with palms and white flowers. The bridegroom, who is a son of Mr John Tennant, awaited his bride's coming at the altar rails, Capt. Geoffry White, R.H.A., standing beside him as best man. The fully choral service was opened by the processional hymn "Lead us, Heaventy Father, lead us," being sung, and after the nuptial knot had been tied the grand old hymn "O God, our help in ages past," was sung very impressively. Lord Grantley gave his daughter away, and lovely did she look in her sweeping robe of rich but soft cream satin veiled with chiffon, which terminated in a full flounce of exquisite Alençon lace, and above this fell the overdress of mousseline de soie. The corsage was draped from the shoulders à la Tanagra, and had a high belt of silver, and on it were motifs of silver and true lovers' knob. A coronet of orange blossom was covered by a tulle veil. Six bridesmaids followed, wearing dresses of ivory striped silk muslin made in Romney fashion, with little full bodices and dainty fichus, and high belts of pervenche blue. Upon their heads they wore quaint mob caps in place of hats. Instead of standing behind the bride in couples, they ranged themselves in a straight line across the aisle before the chancel, thus striking a note of novelty which was not by any means ineffective. Each wore the brooch which had been given to them by the bridegroom. Mrs Graeme Harrison lent her house at 12, Wilton-crescent, for the crowded reception, to which the bridal party and guests went on at the conclusion of the ceremony, and later in the afternoon the bride changed her white robe for one of blue-grey silk voile trimmed with braid and Chiffon to match, her hat of cream crinoline being daintily decked with pink roses. The honeymoon is being spent in Ayrshire, Scotland, and at Invergordon Castle, Rosshire.

Carlyon Tweedy, R.A.M.C., of Abbey House, Kenilworth, and was educated at Charterhouse. He became a “special apprentice” at Messrs. Armstrong's Elswick Works, Newcastle-on-Tyne, where he bad completed 2½ years of his 3 years' course.

Extract from Bond of Sacrifice: Officers Died in the Great War 1914-1916, volume 1, page 412:

LIEUTENANT ALBERT TYLER, ROYAL ENGINEERS, was the only child of Colonel H. E. Tyler, R.E., and Mrs. Tyler, grandson of Captain Sir H. W. Tyler, R.E., and great-grandson of General Sir C. W. Pasley, K.C.B., R.E. He was born on the 1st February, 1893, and educated at Mr. Parry's School, Stoke House; and at Charterhouse, where he took Junior and Senior Scholarships, and passed fourth for the R.M.A., Woolwich. He passed out third into the Royal Engineers in July, 1912, and was promoted Lieutenant in July, 1914.

Being posted to the 11th Field Company R.E., at Aldershot on leaving Chatham, he went to France in August, 1914, and fought at Mons, through the retirement at the Aisne, and again at Ypres. The 5th and 11th Field Companies R.E. were improving defences by night, and supporting infantry by day throughout the attack by the German Guards, and on the 12th November, 1914, Lieutenant Tyler with two sections of his company, by his prompt action, saved the situation when the flank of the Staffordshires had become exposed, before he was killed by a bullet through his heart. His uncle—Major A. H. Tyler, R.E.—had been killed on similar duty in command of the 5th Field Company R.E. the day before.

The Brigadier-General in command reported that had Lieutenant Tyler lived he would have been recommended for the D.S.O. He was mentioned in Field-Marshal Sir John French's Despatch of the 14th January, 1915, for gallant and distinguished service in the field.
