John Tyrrell was born in 1382, Heron, East Horndon, Essex.on his mother's inquisition in 1422, his 40 years old or more.[1]
Sir John died 2 April 1437 Heron Hall, East Horndon, Essex, buried with his second wife at the Church of the Austin Friars in London. [2]

Early Life
Note: Parliament [2]and Wikipedia [3]dispute Burke's statement that John's parents were Thomas Tyrrell and Eleanor, daughter of John Flamberd.[4]
The Visitation of Essex incorrectly lists his father as Sir Thomas Tyrrell of Heron married to Alenor daughter of Flambert of Essex. [5]
Sir John parents are: Walter Tyrrell of Avon, Hampshire and Eleanor Flambard (d. 29 Mar 1422) daughter of Edmund Flambard of Shepreth, Cambridgeshire and Elizabeth FitzRalph, daughter of Richard FitzRalph.[3][6][1]
His mother's inquisition shows that his father was Walter Tyrrell, and that his uncle was Thomas Tyrrell:
Eleanor widow of Nicholas Haute, Knight, #935, Writ April 1422. She died on 29 March 1422. "John Tyrell is the son and next heir of Walter and Eleanor, the son and heir of Walter and kinsman and heir of Thomas Tyrell, i.e. son of Thomas's brother Walter Tyrell, and is aged 40 years or more." The inquisition shows that her husband Walter was the brother of Thomas, and that Thomas had turned the Avon manor over to them.[1]
Sir Thomas Tyrrell born about 1405, will written 16 May 1475, he was Sir John's eldest living son and heir.[8] of Heron, married 1st Emma Marney, married 2nd Anne Marney[4][5]
William Tyrrell of Gipping, Suffolk, born about 1415, 2nd surviving son, he was beheaded 23 February 1462[4]married Margaret Darcey[5]
William Tyrell, Jr. of Beeches, Essex, 3rd surviving son, born before 1419, died after 16 March 1471[4], married 1st Anne FitzSimond, married 2nd, Phillipe Thornbury[5][9][10]
Elizabeth Tyrrell married 1st Rookewoode, married 2nd Thomas Skargill[5]
Elianor "Alianor" Tyrrell [5][Note: on the Visitation of Essex, Elianor Tyrrell who married Edmond Knyvet (Knevett) was listed twice, one was Elianor the daughter of William Tyrrell, Sr. of Gipping, and the other was the daughter of Lady Alice and John Tyrrell, it appears that it was William's daughter who married Edmond Knyvet.]
On Lady Alice's Sepulchral Slab there's a canopy that "has on each side of the figure five niches, which are occupied by statuettes of Lady Tyrell's children, six boys and four girls, each bearing their name on a scroll, namely, Walter, Thomas, William sen., John, William jun., and John Clerk, Alice, Elizabeth, Alianor, and a daughter unnamed."[7]

2nd Marriage
John married his second wife Katherine Burgate, the daughter of William Burgate, (died 1409) Suffolk and Eleana Visdelou, before the summer of 1423.[2][11] She was widowed twice before she married John Tyrell. Katherine's first husband was Robert Stonham (died 1397) and second husband was John Spencer (died 1417).[12][3]
Sir John became one of the richest knights through his marriages and service to the king.[2][12]
In 1412 he was taxed for the manor of Heron in East Horndon, Essex, and the manor of Broomfield.[14] In 1408 "The remainder of the manor of Bromfield, which John Tyrell and Alesia his wife hold for HER life."[15]
In 1422, when his mother died, the estates were divided between Sir John and his brother Edward. Sir John received most of the estates in Essex and Hampshire, the Cambridge lands went to his brother Edward.[1]
When his father-in-law, William Coggeshall died, the Coggeshall manors of North Benfleet and Great Sampford went to Sir John.[12]
When he married his second wife, land in Suffolk and Norfolk were added to his holdings.[12]
1423, added portion of the manor of Hunsdon in Hertfordshire and Manor of Mark Hall, Latton.[16]
1425, Sir John added property in parishes of Chelmsford, Writtle, Little Waltham, Springfield and Broomfield.[17][16]
In 1436, Sir John was assessed on an income of 3 hundred and 96 pounds per annum.[12]
Sir John placed his properties in Hampshire, Essex and Hertfordshire, in the hands of feoffees before his death.[18]

Thanks for the message on this page, you would maybe received an email about the merger Pam proposed because you are now an England badge holder. Its really kind of you to offer to help, but Pam is working on the England Profile Improvments Team and Managed Profiles Team so Im sure she has it all in hand :-)
Did you get my email yesterday?
On proposed merger, they are the same bloke but isn't a deal of editing needed? Not being cleared for even pre-1700 work, all I can do is suggest some points:
removal of alleged places of birth and death?
removal of unacceptable sources (internet trees) and potentially dodgy sources (Burke 1838)?
Tyrell-172 and Tyrrell-6 appear to represent the same person because: Tyrell-172 and Tyrrell-6 have the same dates. Tyrell-172 would merge the second son William into the tree. This son William died 1471, and was married to Anne FitzSimon and Philippe Thornbury. The surname Tyrell is missing an r. The National Archives Prob 11/10/311 and Prob 11/6/417
In the P A T E N T R O L L S of EDWARD IV.HENRY WI.A.D. 14671477. When the brothers both named Sir William Tyrrell were serving on the same detail, to appears they are referred to as William Tyrrell the elder and William Tyrrell the younger.
For Example on pg. 1470, "George, duke of Clarence, Richard, earl of Warwick and Salisbury, John, earl of Oxford, Henry, earl of Essex, Thomas Tirell, knight, Henry Lewys, knight, William Tyrell the elder, knight, William Tyrell the younger,"

"FAMILY BACKGROUND
The testator was a younger son of Sir John Tyrrell (d. 2 April 1437), Speaker of the
House of Commons, and his wife Alice Coggeshall (d.1422)."
"The testator said to have had four brothers, only two of whom can be documented:
1. Sir Thomas Tyrrell (d. 28 March 1477) of Heron in East Horndon, eldest son and heir, who married Anne Marney, the daughter of Sir William Marney .....
2. William Tyrrell of Gipping Suffolk, beheaded on Tower Hill 23 February 1462, whomarried Margaret Darcy, the daughter
of Robert Darcy (d. 3 September 1448), "
