Biography

Very little information is available about this person, and the two available sources are conflicting.

The pedigree from The visitation of Yorkshire in the years 1563 and 1564:^[1]

Dolphyn de Tankersley
.....|
Henry Tankersley m. daughter of Robert Poynttye
.....|
Sir Henry Tankersley m. daughter of Poyntvyn
.....|
Sir Richard Tankersley m. Sara Thornyll
.....|.........................................................|
Johanna (Joan) m. Hugh Eland.....Ales (Alice) m. Richard Tyas

This pedigree is from Notes & Queries citing a Harleian manuscript:^[2]

Sir Henry Tankersley m. Agnes, daughter of Roger Pictaveus, Lord of Burghwallis
.....|
Sir Richard Tankersley m. daughter of John Wortley
.....|
Sir Richard Tankersley
.....|.........................................................|
Johanna (Joan) m. Hugh Eland.....Ales (Alice) m. Richard Tyas

It is unclear the significance of Poyntte vs. Poyntvyn or if the daughter of Poyntvyn is the same as the daughter of Pictaveus. There is also an additional Richard in the second pedigree. Harleian Manuscript 4630 folio 615 is needed, but is currently not available online from the British Library.^[3]
