Thurstan Tyldesley ?-1553

Thurstan Tyldesley was married twice - first to Parnell Shakerley, daughter of Geoffrey Shakerley and second to Jane Longton, daughter of Ralph Longton. By the first marriage he had two children, Thomas and Alice, and by the second he had four, Edward, Mary, Ann and Dorothy.

Thurstan was the Master Forester of Amounderness and lived at Wardley Hall and Myerscough Lodge. As well as being mediller to Lord Derby he held a number of other posts. He was one of 12 feoffees vested with the estates of Manchester Free School in 1524, and in 1547 he was summoned to parliament as a knight of the shire.
