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]

1st Marriage and Children

John married his first wife before 1404[2] Alice de Coggeshale. Issue:[4][5]

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]

Hi Chas,

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. It’s really kind of you to offer to help, but Pam is working on the England Profile Improvments Team and Managed Profiles Team so I’m sure she has it all in hand :-) Did you get my email yesterday?

Lizzie

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:

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

This reference also speaks to Sir John having two sons named William.

In the P A T E N T R O L L S of EDWARD IV.HENRY WI.A.D. 1467–1477. 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,"

Did John Have two sons names William? Evidence below.

A. “William Tyrell the younger thereof in tail male, with remainder to Thomas Tyrell, knt., his brother, son and heir of John Tyrell, knt., William Tyrell the elder, esq., brother of the said Thomas, and Edward, son of Edward Tyrell brother of the said John Tyrell, knt.” Great Britain. (1898). Calendar of inquisitions post mortem and other analogous documents preserved in the Public Record Office ; [Second series]. London: H.M. Stationery Office. See page 510-511 This seems to support John as father to Thomas, William the elder (of Gipping i believe) and William the younger (perhaps of Beche or Beches or Beeches)
