Hello Nancy,
Thanks for your reply.The Wyck landscape painters were much admired by the British eighteenth-century watercolour and bodycolour landscape painter, Paul Sandby, who had examples of their work in his collection.My reason for visiting this forum is to find out about my father's Dewhirst relations on his mother's side. They appear to be from Bradford, Yorkshire.
Your research in the derivation of the name sounds fascinating.What marvellous names they seem to have in Flanders and Holland.
