The Tyldesleys on the Isle of Man


The History of the Tyldesleys of Lancashire published by John Lunn in 1966 provided little coverage of the family outside the county—such as the branches which settled in Fornham St Genevieve and the Isle of Man.

A good introduction to the latter branch is be found on the excellent Manx Note Book site and is copied below by kind permission of Frances Coakley. This is a transcript of manuscript notes made by A W Moore in 1889 with footnotes by Joyce Oates and Frances Coakley:
From Manx Families, A.W.Moore, MS 1889
Tyldesleys of 'The Friary'
Arms: 'Three Rush Hills Vert.'
The Tildesley's of Tildesley in Lancashire were an ancient family. The first of them to have any connection with the Isle of Mann was Thurstan de Tyldesley, who was one of two commissioners sent there by Sir John Stanley in 1417. He married Margaret, daughter and coheir of Jordan de Worsley. From his time to that of Thomas, the fifth in descent from him, none of the family seem to have lived in the Island. Thomas was Water Bailiff in 1532, and in 1540 Deputy Governor. He died in 1554. He married a daughter of Sir Alex Radclyffe of Ordshall, Kent, and had issue. His eldest son Thurstan succeeded to the Lancashire property, but it would appear that there was a younger son who had the Manx property, the Friary, called Bemeccan, in Arbory, which had been presented to Thomas in 1536, as there is a William Tyldesley, probably Thomas's grandson, entered for it in 1595. William was a Member of the House of Keys from 1609 to 1637. He died in 1643, and was succeeded by his son Richard, who was made Comptroller in that year. He was the last member of this family, except Stanley, who held a post in the Council. He married Isabella Norris and had issue Thurstan. Richard's son Thurstan, an M.H.K, followed him in 1679, Thurstan's son William [1] in 1704, and William's son Richard [2] in 1726. Richard married Ann Stanley, [3] eldest daughter of Edward Stanley of Preston, a branch of the Derby family, and had issue Richard, who was entered in 1750. Richard married Catherine Moore [4] and had issue Thomas [5] (born 1733); Stanley (born 1735) [6]; Elizabeth (born 1730); Ann (born 1737); Richard (born 1740, [7] died 1774 without progeny); Edwin and Esther [8] twins (born 1743). Thomas married Catherine Quayle and had issue (1) Margaret, born 1774; (2) Thomas, [9] born 1776, died 1798 without progeny; (3) Richard, an officer in the 39th Regiment (died unmarried at Guadaloupe in 1805) [10]. We find it recorded that Richard and his wife settled 'for certain considerations upon their son and heir Thomas and Catherine his wife, the Friary, Ballabilbert, Balladuke, and Billown. Richard was the last of the family who was a Member of the House of Keys, all his predecessors having been either members of that body or of the Council. His second son, Stanley, married Jane daughter of John Allen, heiress of the Hague Estate. There are no representatives of this branch. As none of the sons of Thomas had issue, the estates went to his daughter Margaret, [11] who married Benjamin Greetham [12] in 1795, whose issue's descendants are still in possession. Richard, who as mentioned died at Guadaloupe in 1805, was the last of the name of Tyldesley in the Isle of Man.

If Richard (~1701-1781, & who married Ann Stanley) is the son of Richard (d 1750), then Richard (d 1750) must be the brother of William (d 1726 (? 1722) & married Mary Harrison 1701), with Wm (d 1726) dying without progeny

Tildesley of Garret 1664


(click for larger version)

At Preston on 19 September 1664, Thomas Stanley provided details of the Tyldesleys of Garrett Hall for Sir William Dugdale's Visitation of Lancashire. 

This pedigree contains individuals who were not mentioned by John Lunn [FN1] (see earlier post). However, elements are open to question. For example the pedigree starts with a Laurence Tyldesley who married Margaret Standish, whereas all other sources—including Flower's Visitation of 1567—suggest this was Lambert Tyldesley.

Thomas Stanley had two links to the Tyldesleys: first, his mother was Mary Tyldesley, daughter of Lambert Tyldesley of Garrett Hall; second, he married Frances Tyldesley, daughter of Sir Thomas Tyldesley 1612-1651.

The current owners of Garrett Hall Farm, Peel Holdings, have been trying for some years to develop the site—most recently putting forward a plan for 600 homes. These plans have met local opposition with an article in the Leigh Journal, an e-petition and a Facebook group.

Hugh Tyldesley 1435


Hugh Tyldesley was the brother of Thomas Tyldesley, serjeant at law, who died in 1410. A brief biography is given by John Lunn in The History of the Tyldesleys of Lancashire, published in 1966:
Hugh son of Thurstan and Margaret was born about 1370; he succeeded brother Thomas in the tenure of the Wardley and Tyldesley estates. Like Thomas he was much absent from Lancashire. He entered the service of Thomas le Despenser, Earl of Gloucester, became his retainer and followed his political star, as far as was safe. For Despenser had supported Richard II and after the usurpation of the crown, he was active in conspiracy against the Lancastrian, Henry IV. To reward Tyldesley, for his armed support, Gloucester gave him yearly pensions issuing out of his many manors, which made up his honour. One such annuity was a pension of 10 marks out of the profits of the manor of Kimber-worth in Yorkshire, which on October 2, 1399, the day after he had first received it, Tyldesley assigned to trustees, one of whom was his brother, Thomas. After the execution of Gloucester, Tyldesley is found trying to protect his vested interests in several other manors, located in many counties, for the earl's possessions had been annexed by the Crown, because of high treason. During the life of Hugh, in 1422, Roger Gregory, gave up his specific claim to New Hall in the Park of Tyldesley. This quitclaim must be regarded as an act in the great conflict of the local families of the Tyldesleys and the Hultons. The deed is still preserved among the Hulton evidences. Another incident in the life of Hugh occurred in 1429, when he complained that his land in Tyldesley had been damaged by coal mining. The culprits were his neighbours, the Shakerleys. Robert Shakerley, Geoffrey his son, Geoffrey Shakerley, Margaret, widow of Peter Shakerley, Henry Bradshaw from Hindley and James Bradshaw. Hugh's fields had been disfigured by this opencast operation and he claimed damages of 20 marks. The Shakerleys retorted by violence. At Leigh, they with their servants lay in wait for Hugh, to waylay him and kill him. There was a fight and in the affray some of Hugh's servants were wounded. Another deed in the Hulton collection tells that Hugh's wife was named Aleson; she held a field called Tyldesley park. Hugh died in 1435, when his heir was declared to be Thurstan, aged about 12.

Lambert Tyldesley of Garrett Hall 1596

(click for larger version)

John Lunn [1] dates the Tyldesleys' ownership of Garrett Hall to the 13th century and gives a firm descent for this branch of the family from Lambert Tyldesley who died in 1596.

Garrett Hall, also known as Garratt Hall or simply the Garratt, was to pass into the hands of the Stanley family in the 17th century. The last direct connection with the Tyldesleys was when Thomas Stanley of Garrett Hall married Frances Tyldesley.  Frances Tyldesley was the daughter of the Sir Thomas Tyldesley 1612-1651 and Frances Tyldesley née Standish.

As indicated in a later post, a more complete pedigree was taken from Thomas Stanley at Preston on 19 September 1664 during the Visitation of Lancashire by Sir William Dugdale.

The current owners of Garrett Hall Farm, Peel Holdings, have been trying for some years to develop the site—most recently putting forward a plan for 600 homes. These plans have met local opposition with an article in the Leigh Journal, an e-petition and a Facebook group.

Edward Tyldesley's marriage at Cartmel 15 September 1605


In 1872 James Stockdale published Annals of Cartmel, which included a transcription of the registers. The registers include a record of the marriage of Edward Tyldesley 1582-1622 to Elizabeth Preston on 15 September 1605:
1606. July 12. Rowland Thornburgh sone of Rowland of Hamesfell gener. was Buried.
„ Sept. 15. Edward Tildsley gener. and Eliza: Preston maried 
Edward Tildesley, of Morley, father of Sir Thomas Tildesley, who was killed just before the battle of Worcester, fighting under the Earl of Derby in Wigan Lane, in the civil wars. Elizabeth Preston, daughter of Christopher Preston, of Holker.
There is a monumental pillar erected in 1677 by Alexander Rigby, High Sheriff, on the spot where Sir Thomas Tildesley fell.

A List of officers claiming the sixty thousand pounds granted by His Sacred Majesty—Edward Tyldesley


As noted in a previous post, in 1663 Henry Brome published a list of the officers entitled to share the £60,000 made available under a statute to those officers who had served Charles I and Charles II.

The list was entitled: A List of officers claiming the sixty thousand pounds &c. granted by His Sacred Majesty for the relief of his truly-loyal and indigent party which list is made publique by the consent and at the desire of the honourable the commissioners appointed by act of Parliament for distribution of said moneys. It included the names of 8 men who had served under Sir William Bradshaigh, including Edward Tyldesley:

Cap Tho Brockhills
Lieut John Neale (Lieut to Cap Dunhill)
Corn John Foster (Corn to Maj Tho Vavasor)
Qu John Valmsly (Qu to Maj Tho Vavasor)
Q Will Michell
Q Will Tomlinson
Edward Tildsly is presumably Edward Tyldesley 1635—1685, though he would have been a minor at the time of the English Civil War. In addition to being eligible for a payment under the statute, he was also one of those listed to become a Knight of the Royal Oak before the creation of this new order was abandoned.

The list also included Sir Thomas Tyldesley 1612-1651.

An Act for Distribution of Threescore thousand pounds amongst the truly Loyal & Indigent Commission Officers 1662

In 1662 an Act was passed to provide for the distribution of £60,00 to those officers who had supported the Royalist cause:
An Act for Distribution of Threescore thousand pounds amongst the truly Loyal & Indigent Commission Officers and for assessing of Offices and distributing Moneys thereby raised for theire further supply.

In the following year, Henry Brome published a list of the officers entitled to share the £60,000, under the title: A List of officers claiming the sixty thousand pounds &c. granted by His Sacred Majesty for the relief of his truly-loyal and indigent party which list is made publique by the consent and at the desire of the honourable the commissioners appointed by act of Parliament for distribution of said moneys.

Two Tyldesleys were named in the list—Sir Thomas Tyldesley 1612-1651 and Edward Tyldesley.

Edward Tyldesley's burial at Cartmel 1622


As noted in an earlier post, Edward Tyldesley 1582-1622 left instructions in his will that he wished to be buried in the Tyldesley Chapel in the church at Leigh.

Instead it appears that he was buried in the Priory Church at Cartmel. It is likely that this is because the Preston family had acquired Cartmel at some point around 1620. Edward Tyldesley 1582-1622 had married Elizabeth Preston in 1605, though it is clear from his will that the marriage was not a happy one.

In 1872 James Stockdale published Annals of Cartmel in which he recorded a document from 1674 which gave the location of the burial as Lord Harrington's Quire. The charge made by the church for the burial was 6s 8d:
BURIALS IN THE CHURCH.
A.D. 1674.—Mem. "In pursueance of an order in the olde booke belonginge to the parish churche of Cartmell, wee find that those persons here undernamed and others did pay to the use of the churche for every one of their buerials, who were bueried in Lord Harrington's Queare and the Organ Queare, as followeth: First, Mr. Samuel Knipe, sonne of Isaac Knipe, bueried in the Organ Queare, Anno 1613—6s. 8d.; Mr. Timothy Knipe bueried in the same place in 1622—6s. 8d.; Mr. William Knipe bueried in the same place in anno domi 1671—6s. 8d.

Lambert Tyldesley 1563


In 1684, Sir Thomas Robinson published A book of special entries of declarations, pleadings, issues, verdicts, judgments and judicial process in such actions as are now in use and have not hitherto been published in any printed book of precedents together with such notes and observations as do either illustrate or explain the same : as also such parts of pleadings and judicial process which do naturally fall under the division of each distinct title as necessary and incident thereunto.

Mostly written in Latin, on page 335 the book included an English version of part of an indenture made between Sir Robert Worsley and Lambert Tyldesley of Garrett Hall in 1563:
This Indenture made the 16th day of April in the fifth year of the Reign of Elizabeth by the Grace of God Queen of England France and Ireland defender of the Faith &c.

And it is further agreed between the said parties, that it shall be lawfull to the said Sir Robert Worsley Knight at his will and pleasure by his last Will and Testament, or otherwise any Act, Deed, or thing executed in his life, to Assign, Limit, and appoint to any Wife or Wives, that it shall fortune the said Robert Worsley to marry for term of life only for any such Wife or Wives, the issues and profits of any part of the said Mannors, Lands, Tenements, and Hereditaments, or one annual or yearly Rent to be paid out of the said Lands and Tenements, so that the same so to be Assigned or limited, shall not amount above the yearly value or Rent of Forty pounds, and also severally to every such Bastard son as the said Sir Robert hath, or shall have for term of their several lives only, the issues and profits of any part of the said Mannors, Lands and Tenements or certain yearly Rents to be given out of the same, so that the same, or any of them so to be limited and appointed severally to any one of the said Bastard Sons shall not amount above the yearly value of Four marks, and severally to every such mulier son, as he the said Sir Robert now hath, or hereafter shall have, the issues and profits of any part of the said Lands and Tenements or yearly Rent, going out of the same for terrme of life only of every such Son of the said Sir Robert lawfully begotten, or to be begotten, so that there shall not be appointed to any son of the said Sir Robert lawfully begotten in issues, profits...
