81-82 Robert CURSON v. Humphrey, son and heir of William TYRRELL, esquire, and Miles PERKYNS, his brother-in-law.
Hindrance to distress for arrears of rent payable jointly to the said Curson and Perkyns out of the said Tyrrell's manor of South Ockendon ‘Rokelle,’ and elsewhere.     ESSEX.

The Chancery Proceeding above is from the date range 1538-1544, so Anne and Miles were already married at some point in that range. Miles is likely the Miles Parkyns, an executor of the will of Edward Watson of Lyddington, county Rutland in 1530, stating him to be a cousin "of London".

... And for defaulte of such yssue the Remainder of all my lands in Buckland to my cosen Miles Parkins in London and his heires in fee 

This Chancery Proceeding document states that the profession of Miles Parkyns, executor of Edward Watson's will, was a skinner; so this would be the Miles Parkyns listed amongst "The Names of the Freemen Householders of the “Crafte of Skynners,” from the Record in the Chapterhouse, 1537." in the History of the Worshipful Company of Skinners of London p302 (William Herbert, 1837) and who lived in the parish of St Anthony, London (The Correspondence of Reginald Pole vol 4 p582 (Thomas F. Mayer, 2002)). Miles bought a tenement called Hobbys of Forde in Styfforthe (Stifford), Essex on 20 January 1536(7). Interestingly, Hobbys at Forde was just a mile or two from South Ockendon, home of Anne Tyrrell's father, William Tyrrell and presumably of Anne herself.

Education:
A Humphrey Tyrrell from East Horndon, Essex was educated at Eton College, leaving in 1497 to enter King's College, Cambridge, leaving there in 1499. In The Eton College Register, 1441-1698 p341, Wasey Sterry says he was "probably s. and h. of William T. of South Ockendon co. Essex and Elizabeth dau. of Thomas Bodley" but since we know that Humphrey's mother, Elizabeth Bodley was still a minor at death of her father in 1492 (see her father's will at Wynch, Lyon, Coghill and others - A random walk through family history (1492 Sir Thomas Bodley)), I do not think that the Eton and Cambridge educated Humphrey was the son of William Tyrrell of South Ockendon.

Married: Jane Ingleton on 29 August 1518

Jane was the daughter of Robert Ingleton and Ann Empson. She was nine months old on the death of her father Robert in 1503 (when Robert himself was still a minor), leaving her an infant heiress of substantial property. Her mother, Ann, was the daughter of Sir Richard Empson, a tax collector for Henry VII, who was also Robert's guardian and Jane became a ward of Richard Empson. Upon Henry VIII's ascension to the throne, Richard Empson was convicted of treason, attainted by Parliament and beheaded on 17 August 1510. Jane was entrusted to George Talbot, Earl of Shrewsbury who, in 1514, assigned her wardship John Bradbury and James Bodley, the son and stepson of Thomas Bradbury, former Lord Mayor of London. Jane married a nephew of James Bodley, Humphrey Tyrrell, in 1518. The couple had a son, George, around 1530. After Humphrey's death in 1549, Jane married Alexander St John. Jane died on 24 April 1557, and was buried in the church of St Michael and All Angels, Thornton, Buckinghamshire. A monumental brass of her was originally on a chest tomb in chancel, and is now on the floor of new chancel. The inscription under her figure reads "Et predicta Jana habuit exit(um) Georgiu(m) Terrell filiu(m) / suu(m) apparunt(um) et predict(us) Georgius fuit viginti et / septem annor(um) natus die quo predict(a) Jana obiit" (and the said Jane had issue George Tyrrell, her manifest son, and the said George was twenty seven years old on the day when the said Jane died.), while the marginal inscription is "Hic iacet Jana Yngleton filia et sola heres Roberti / Yngleton Armigeri defuncti d(omi)na de Thornton ac Patronat(a) eiusd(e)m eccl(es)ie quondam uxor Humfridi Tyrrill Armiger(i) etiam defunct(i) ac nuper uxor Alexander SeynctJohns / Armigeri que Jana obiit vicesimo quarto die mensis Aprilis / Anno d(omi)ni Melesimo Quingentesimo Quinquagesimi Septimo, Et predict(a) Jana fuit Quinquagint(a) qui(n)q(ue)a Annos natus die obit(us) sui Cuius Anime propicietur deus."

  To him succeeded George Ingelton, who Anno, 1487, 2 Hen. VII, styles himself Lord of Thornton, and dying Anno 1494, 9 Hen. VII, left Issue by Sibill his Wife, Robert his Son and Heir, who dying Anno 1503, 18 Hen. VII, left an only Daughter, named Jane or Joan, the Wardship of whom was by King Hen. VII, Anno 1505, committed to his great Favourite Sir Richard Empson, on whose Attainder, Anno 1509, 1 Hen. VIII, she was committed to George Talbot, Earl of Shrewsbury, who Anno 1514, assigned the Wardship of her to John Bradbury of London, and James Bodley of Walden in Essex, which Bodley, Anno 1519, 10 Hen. VIII, married her to his Kinsman Humphrey Tyrrill, Son of William Tyrrill of the antient Family of the Tyrrills, of South Ockingdon, in Essex; of which Marriage the said Humphrey making Proof, had Livery of the Lands of her Inheritance, and dying Anno 1550, 3 Edw. VI, his Wife surviving him, she re-married Alexander St. John, Esq; and dying 1557, 4 and 5 Philip and Mary, in the 55th Year of her Age, was buried in the Chancel here, under a raised Tomb, with her Portrait engraven on a Brass Plate thereon, near her Grandfather, Robert Ingelton's Monument: On her Death George Tyrrill, her only Son and Heir succeeded, who is reported to have impaired the Estate of the Family very much, and squandered away several Manors, though as it appears by the Inquisition taken at his Death, he nevertheless left behind him great Possessions to his Heirs

A Guide to the Architectural Antiquities in the Neighbourhood of Oxford vol 4 pp260-1 (John Henry Parker, 1846)
  The issue of this marriage was an only son Robert, who upon his father's decease in 1494 succeeded to the Ingleton estates, his mother retaining in dower those of her own inheritance. In 1503 Robert Ingleton deceased, leaving an only daughter Jane, of the age of nine months. The wardship of the infant heiress was by King Henry the Seventh committed to his favourite Sir Richard Empson, on whose attainder at the accession of Hen. VIII. she was entrusted to George Talbot, Earl of Shrewsbury, who in the year 1514 assigned the wardship of her to John Bradbury, of London, and James Bodley, of Walden, Essex, which Bodley in the year 1519, married her to his kinsman Humphrey Tyrrell, son of William Tyrrell, of South Ockingdon, Essex. This Humphrey, the fifteenth in descent from the well-known Walter Tyrrell, on making proof of the marriage, had livery of the lands of his wife's inheritance, and died 1550, leaving an only son George, twenty years of age. After three years of widowhood, Jane Tyrrell, contemplating a second marriage, with Alexander St. John Esq., by a deed bearing date May 17th, in the fourth year of Edward VI secures to her son George, upon payment of certain sums, all her manors and estates, reserving to herself the issues and profits during her life. The union which followed upon the execution of this deed was of short continuance; for it appears that Jane St. John died A.D. 1557, leaving Sir George Tyrrell, her son, her sole heir. He is reported to have “impaired the family estate very much, and squandered away several manors,” among which were Waterpery and Ledall, which, by a deed bearing date May 20th, 1562, he conveyed to Thomas Typping, Esq., of Shabbingdon, on consideration of receiving four hundred pounds “at the sealing of these presents,” and a residue of fourteen hundred at the Feast of Pentecost or Whitsuntide next ensuing, to be paid in or near the porch of the parish church of Thornton. On the seal appended to this document, are the initials G.T., with the arms of Ingleton, viz., 3 tuns, with flames issuing from their bung-holes.
  In the parish church of Thornton are still preserved two very fine brasses, one of Jane Ingleton, and the other of her ancestor, Robert, the first of his family at Thornton, who was Chancellor of the Exchequer in the reign of Edward IV. These are accurately described by Browne Willis in his Hundred of Buckingham

Children: In his will, Humphrey leaves bequests to two children "Wellemote and Jane Tyrrell, the daughters of Annys Trygge" and "to such child as the said Annys now goeth great with, if God give it life in this world" and leaves much of his estate to Annys Trygge. He makes no mention of Jane Ingleton or George Tyrrell.

      THE MANOR,
   This Manor was conveyed by deed, 1 Jan 1464, to Robert Ingleton, Esq. who, subsequently, settled, by bond and other securities, the said property upon his daughters, Jane and Margaret; and, dying seised of Thornton, in 1472, was buried here. It ultimately passed, by the marriage of Jane, only daughter of George Ingleton, Esq. to Humphrey Tyrrell, Esq. of an ancient family in Essex, who, in her right, became Lord of Thornton, and from whom this estate has descended:

Elizabeth, had been married for some years to William Tyrell of South Ockendon, Essex, a member of a large and influential family, and she already had several children including a son and heir, Humphrey. Bradbury seems to have paid a lot for this marriage and to have helped William Tyrell financially. He and Joan had hopes that Humphrey Tyrell and Joan Josselyn, the daughter of Thomas's sister, Philippa, would one day marry and unite the Bradbury and Bodley families: he promised them he manor of Bawdes after the life estates of his brother-in-law and Joan, as an inducement.

Notes:
Medieval London Widows, 1300-1500 p211 (Caroline Barron, Anne F. Sutton, 1994) notes that John died without issue. He is not mentioned in the will of his grandmother, Joan (Leche, Bodley) Bradbury, dated 2 March 1529(30) in which his brother and three sisters are all specifically mentioned, so John likely died before that date.

George died between 12 April 1530 and 30 September 1539, in Brentwood, Essex.

Children: Notes: George and Mary  and their son, Humphrey, were involved in a complicated legal dispute over land inherited from Mary's grandmother, Joan Bradbury. The suit, brought in 1540, was technically against the guardian of Humphrey, then an orphaned minor, but in practice against eight men who were feoffees, or in actual use of the land, including Mary's brother, Humphrey Tyrrell and Guy Crayford, the husband of Mary's cousin, Joane (Bodley) Crayford. The text of the suit established a timeframe for the death of both George and Mary, as well as the birth of Humphrey.
A transcription of this suit, along with images of the original document, can be found at the website of the Anglo-American Legal Tradition:
Henry Gooderyk v. Christofer Hall of Edgeware, Middlesex : Trinity term, 1540
The defendant in this action of trespass vi et armis was the guardian of a minor heir to a fee tail; the critical point was whether the minor’s parents, themselves the grantees of a beneficial fee tail in a use, had alienated the fee tail through a common recovery to the predecessors in title of the plaintiff. The jury found against the minor. Those who had recovered under the common recovery were themselves feoffees to uses to one Robert Townsend, and the feoffees had thereafter alienated to another group group of feoffees to the use of John Rawson, who was tenant when the Statute of Uses took effect, so that Rawson became tenant of the fee simple at common law. His two daughters inherited; they and their husbands partitioned the inheritance in 1538; the present plaintiff was the husband of one of them. The case is a good exemplar of the workings of the use before the statute, particularly as it related to common recoveries.

Essex. Christofer Hall lately of Edgeware in the county of Middlesex, gentleman was attached to answer Henry Gooderyk concerning a plea why with force and arms he broke the close of the same Henry at Newportpond and inflicted other enormities on him to the grave damage of the same Henry and against the now lord king’s peace etc. And wherefore the same Henry by Godfrey Swayne his attorney complains that the abovesaid Christofer on September 20 in the 31st year of the reign of the now lord king [September 20, 1539] with force and arms broke the close of the same Henry at Newportpond and other enormities etc., to the grave damage etc., and against the peace etc., wherefore he says that he is worse off and has damages to the value of £40, and thereof he produces suit etc.
  And the abovesaid Christofer in his proper person comes and denies force and injury when etc., and as to coming with force and arms he says he is guilty in nothing thereof, and of this he puts himself on the countryside. And the abovesaid Henry similarly. And as to the rest of the abovesaid trespass above supposed to have been done, the same Christofer says that the abovesaid Henry ought not have his abovesaid action against him, because he says that the abovesaid close as well as the places in which it is supposed the abovesaid trespass was done are and at the time at which it is supposed the abovesaid trespass was done were 2 messuages, 1 toft, an apple orchard, and a dovecote with appurtenances in Newportpond abovesaid, whereof before the abovesaid time at which etc., a certain Joan Bradbury widow was seised in her demesne as of fee and thus seised thereof before the same time at which etc., scilt., on March 12 in the 19th year of the reign of the now lord king [March 12, 1528] the same Joan in her pure widowhood enfeoffed of the abovesaid tenements with appurtenances the certain Robert Norwyche the lord king’s serjeant at law, John Cheyney, Humfrey Tyrrell, Robert Dormer, James Hadley, Nicholas Lusson, John Lamburn, Guy Crafford, Edward Lamburn, John Lusson, and John Bassett gentlemen to have to themselves and their heirs in perpetuity to the work and use of the certain George Hall and Mary his wife and the heirs of the body of the same George and Mary legitimately procreated from the bodies of the same George and Mary, and for default of such issue to the work and use of the said Mary and the heirs of the body of the same Mary legitimately procreated, and for default of such issue to the work and use of the said Joan and her heirs in perpetuity; by virtue of which feoffment the abovesaid Robert, John, Humfrey, Robert, James, Nicholas, John, Guy, Edward, John, and John were seised of the tenements abovesaid with appurtenances in their demesne as of fee to the same uses; and the same Robert, John, Humfrey, Robert, James, Nicholas, John, Guy, Edward, John, and John being seised of the abovesaid tenements with appurtenances to the abovesaid uses in the abovesaid form, afterwards and before the abovesaid time at which etc., the abovesaid Robert Norwyche, James Hadley, and John Cheyney died and the abovesaid Humfrey, Robert Dormer, Nicholas, John Lamburn, Guy, Edward, John Lusson and John Bassett survived them and held themselves in on the abovesaid tenements with appurtenances and were thereof alone seised in their demesne as of fee to the abovesaid uses by the right of increase etc.; and the same Humfrey, Robert Dormer, Nicholas, John Lamburn, Guy, Edward, John Lusson, and John Bassett being seised of the abovesaid tenements with appurtenances to the abovesaid uses in the abovesaid form, the abovesaid George and Mary before the abovesaid time at which etc., had issue between them, a certain Humfrey Halle; and afterwards and before the abovesaid time at which etc., the abovesaid George and Mary at Brentwood in the abovesaid county died; after whose death the abovesaid Humfrey Tyrrell, Robert Dormer, Nicholas, John Lamburn, Guy, Edward, John Lusson, and John Bassett were seised of the abovesaid tenements with appurtenances in their demesne as of fee to the use of the abovesaid Humfrey Halle and the heirs of his body [IMG 1025] legitimately procreated up to and on February 4 in the 27th year of the reign of the now lord king, on which day the abovesaid Humfrey Halle according to the form of the statute promulgated thereof was seised of the abovesaid tenements with appurtenances in his demesne as of fee tail; and the abovesaid Henry, claiming the abovesaid tenements with appurtenances by color of a certain charter of demise made to him thereof for term of his life by the abovesaid Joan long before the abovesaid feoffment by the same Joan concerning the same tenements with appurtenances to the aforementioned Robert Norwyche, John Cheyney, Humfrey Tyrrell, Robert Dormer, James Hadley, Nicholas Lusson, John Lamburn, Guy Crafford, Edward Lamburn, John Lusson, and John Bassett made in the abovesaid form when nothing of the same tenements ever transferred into the possession of the same Henry by that charter, entered into the abovesaid tenements with appurtenances before the abovesaid time at which etc.; on the possession of which certain Henry thereof the same Christofer afterwards, scilt., at the same time at which etc., in the abovesaid tenements with appurtenances as next friend of the abovesaid Humfrey Halle being then within the age of 14 years, viz., an age of 9 years and more, to whom the inheritance abovesaid cannot descend re-entered as well he might, and this he is ready to verify, wherefore he seeks judgment if the abovesaid Henry ought to have his abovesaid action against him etc.
  And the abovesaid Henry Gooderyk says that he by anything alleged before ought not to be precluded from having his abovesaid action, because he says that after the abovesaid feoffment by the abovesaid Joan Bradbury to the aforementioned Robert Norwyche, John Cheyney, Humfrey Tyrrell, Robert Dormer, James Hadley, Nicholas Lusson, John Lamburn, Guy Crafford, Edward Lamburn, John Lusson, and John Bassett made of the abovesaid tenements in the abovesaid form; and, the same Robert, John, Humfrey, Robert, James, Nicholas, John, Guy, Edward, John, and John [IMG 2181] then being seised of the abovesaid tenements to the use of the abovesaid George Halle and Mary and the heirs of their bodies legitimately procreated, a certain Robert Townesend, Robert Drury, and Clement Higham before the abovesaid time at which etc., scilt., on April 12 in the 21st year of the reign of the now lord king [April 12, 1530] prosecuted the lord king’s certain writ of entry sur disseisin in the post out of the court of chancery of the same lord king being then at Westminster in the county of Middlesex against the abovesaid George Halle and Mary his wife concerning the abovesaid tenements among other things with appurtenances directed to the then sheriff of the abovesaid county,
[terms of the writ of entry sur disseisin in the post]
by which certain writ the lord king ordered the same then sheriff that he order the abovesaid George Halle and Mary that justly and without delay they render to the abovesaid Robert Townesend, Robert Drury, and Clement Higham the abovesaid tenements with appurtenances by names of 3 messuages, 1 dovecote, 1 apple orchard, 200 acres of land, 50 acres of meadow, 60 acres of pasture, and 10 acres of woods with appurtenances in Newport and Weddington that the same Robert Townesend, Robert Drury, and Clement Higham then claimed to be their right and inheritance and in which the abovesaid George Halle and Mary did not have entry if not after the disseisin that Roger Hunt unjustly and without judgment made thereof to Robert Townesend, Robert Drury, and Clement Higham after the first crossing of the lord King Henry son of King John into Gascony as they said, and whereof they complained that the abovesaid George Hall and Mary deforced them, and if they did not and the abovesaid Robert Townesend, Robert Drury, and Clement made him the then sheriff secure to prosecute his claim, then let the same sheriff summon by good summoners the abovesaid George and Mary that they be before the then justices of the same lord king here, scilt., at Westminster on the morrow of the Ascension of the Lord then next following to show why they did not, and that the same then sheriff then should have there the summoners and that writ;
[process of the common recovery on that writ]
at which certain morrow of the Ascension of the Lord before Robert Brudenell knight and his companions then the said lord king’s justices of the Bench here, scilt., at Westminster abovesaid, came both the abovesaid Robert Townesend, Robert Drury, and Clement Higham by William Maunsell his attorney and the abovesaid George and Mary by William Whithalgh his attorney; and John Bolles armiger then sheriff of the abovesaid county of Essex then returned the abovesaid writ directed to him in the abovesaid form in everything served and executed, viz., that the abovesaid Robert Townesend, Robert Drury, and Clement Higham found for the same then sheriff pledges to prosecute that writ, viz., John Doo, Richard Roo, and that the abovesaid George Hall and Mary were summoned by Henry Hunt, Richard Dent, whereon the abovesaid Robert Townesend, Robert Drury, and Clement Higham by narrating on that writ in the same court of the abovesaid lord king before the aforementioned then justices by the abovesaid William Maunsell his attorney sought against the abovesaid George Halle and Mary the abovesaid 3 messuages, 1 dovecote, 1 apple orchard, 200 acres of land, 50 acres of meadow, 60 acres of pasture, and 10 acres of woods with appurtenances in Newport and Weddington abovesaid as their right and inheritance and in which the same George and Mary did not have entry except after the disseisin that Roger Hunt made thereof unjustly and without judgment to the aforementioned Robert, Robert, and Clement after the first etc., and whereof they say that they themselves were seised of the abovesaid tenements with appurtenances in their demesne as of fee and right in time of peace in the time of the now lord king by taking thereof esplees to the value etc., and in which etc., and thereof they produced suit etc. And the abovesaid George and Mary by the abovesaid William Whythalgh their attorney came and defended their right when etc., and vouched thereof to warranty Thomas Chapman who then was present in that court in his proper person and freely warranted to them those tenements with appurtenances etc., and thereon the abovesaid Robert, Robert, and Clement sought against the same Thomas tenant by his warranty the abovesaid tenements with appurtenances in the abovesaid form etc., and whereof they said that they themselves were seised of the tenements abovesaid with appurtenances in their demesne as of fee and right in time of peace in the time of the now lord king by taking thereof esplees to the value etc., and in which etc., and thereof they produced suit etc. And the abovesaid Thomas tenant by his warranty defends their right when etc., and says that the abovesaid Roger did not disseise the aforementioned Robert, Robert, and Clement of the abovesaid tenements with appurtenances [IMG 2182] as the same Robert, Robert, and Clement by their writ and narration abovesaid supposed, and of this he puts himself on the countryside. And the abovesaid Robert, Robert, and Clement sought license thereof to emparl and had it. And afterwards the same Robert, Robert, and Clement came back here into court in the same term by their abovesaid attorney, and the abovesaid Thomas although solemnly exacted did not come back but withdrew in contempt of court and defaulted, whereby it was considered by the abovesaid justices that the abovesaid Robert, Robert, and Clement recover their seisin against the aforementioned George and Mary of the abovesaid tenements with appurtenances and that the same George and Mary have from the land of the abovesaid Thomas to the value etc., and that the same Thomas be in mercy etc., as by that record more fully appears;
by virtue of which recovery the abovesaid Robert Townesend, Robert Drury, and Clement afterwards and before the abovesaid February 4 in the 27th year abovesaid [February 4, 1536] entered into the abovesaid tenements with appurtenances and thereof were seised in their demesne as of fee; and the same [IMG 1026] Henry Gooderyk further says that the abovesaid 2 messuages, 1 toft, apple orchard, and dovecote with appurtenances are and at the time at which etc., were parcel of the abovesaid 3 messuages, 1 dovecote, 1 apple orchard, 200 acres of land, 50 acres of meadow, 60 acres of pasture and 10 acres of woods with appurtenances recovered in the form abovesaid and that the abovesaid recovery was had to the use of the abovesaid Robert Townesend, his heirs and assigns, as well as that the abovesaid Robert Norwyche, John Cheyney, Humfrey Tyrrell, Robert Dormer, James Hadley, Nicholas Lusson, John Lamburn, Guy, Edward, John Lusson, and John Bassett on the day of the purchase of the original writ of entry sur disseisin in the post and at the time of the abovesaid judgment against the abovesaid George and Mary rendered were seised of all the abovesaid tenements with appurtenances to the use of the abovesaid George and Mary and the heirs of their bodies legitimately procreated; and further the same Henry says that, the abovesaid Robert Townesend, Robert Drury, and Clement being seised of all the abovesaid tenements with appurtenances in the abovesaid form, enfeoffed the certain John Rawson citizen and mercer of London, John Crayford, sr., William Robyns, and William Kyrton to have to themselves and their heirs in perpetuity to the use of the abovesaid John Rawson, his heirs and assigns; by virtue of which feoffment the same John Rawson, John Crayford, William Robyns, and William Kyrton were seised of all the abovesaid tenements with appurtenances in their demesne as of fee to the use of the abovesaid John Rawson, his heirs and assigns until and at the abovesaid February 4 in the 27th year abovesaid, on which day the same John by virtue and pretext of the statute promulgated and provided in this manner case was alone seised of all the abovesaid tenements with appurtenances in his demesne as of fee, and of such estate he died thereof protesting being seised; after whose death and before the abovesaid time at which etc., the abovesaid tenements with appurtenances descended to the certain Margaret then and still the wife of the same Henry and to Katherine the wife of Oliver Rychardson as to sisters and heirs of the abovesaid John Rawson; whereby the same Henry and Margaret and Oliver and Katherine entered into the abovesaid tenements specified in the abovesaid recovery with appurtenances before the abovesaid time at which etc., and were thereof seised in their demesne as of fee in right of the abovesaid Margaret and Katherine; and the same Henry, Margaret, Oliver, and Katherine being thus seised of all the abovesaid tenements with appurtenances in the abovesaid form before the time at which etc., scilt., on September 25 in the 30th year of the reign of the now lord king [September 25, 1538] partition between them concerning all the abovesaid tenements with appurtenances at London in the Parish of St. Peter in the Ward of Cheep was made and had; by which certain partition thus made thereof between them the abovesaid 2 messuages, toft, apple orchard, and dovecote with appurtenances in the bar of the abovesaid Christofer above specified were allocated and assigned to the aforementioned Henry and Margaret in allocation of the whole purpart of the same Margaret touching her from the tenements abovesaid with appurtenances, and the residue of the abovesaid tenements with appurtenances were allocated and assigned to the aforementioned Oliver and Katherine in allocation of the whole purpart of the same Katherine touching her from all the abovesaid tenements with appurtenances; by pretext of which certain partition the same Henry and Margaret in the abovesaid tenements specified in the bar of the abovesaid Christofer with appurtenances before the same time at which etc., entered and were thereof seised in their demesne as of fee in the right of the same Margaret until the abovesaid Christofer Hall on the abovesaid September 20 in the 31st year abovesaid [September 20, 1539] with force and arms broke the close of the same Henry at Newportpond abovesaid against the peace of the now lord king as the same Henry above complains against him, without this [IMG 1027] that the abovesaid Humfrey Tyrrell, Robert Dormer, Nicholas Lusson, John Lamburn, Guy, Edward, John Lusson, and John Bassett on the abovesaid February 4 in the abovesaid 27th year were seised of the abovesaid tenements with appurtenances to the use of the abovesaid Humfrey Halle and the heirs of his body legitimately procreated as the abovesaid Christofer above alleged, and this he is ready to verify, wherefore since the abovesaid Christofer above acknowledges the abovesaid trespass made in the abovesaid tenements with appurtenances, the same Henry seeks judgment and his damages by occasion of that trespass to be adjudicated to him etc.
  And the abovesaid Christofer as before says that the abovesaid Humfrey Tyrrell, Robert Dormer, Nicholas Lusson, John Lamburn, Guy, Edward, John Lusson, and John Bassett on the abovesaid February 4 in the abovesaid 27th year [February 4, 1536] were seised of the abovesaid tenements with appurtenances in their demesne as of fee to the use of the abovesaid Humfrey Halle and the heirs of his body legitimately procreated as the same Christofer Halle above alleged, and of this he puts himself on the countryside. And the abovesaid Henry similarly. Therefore it is ordered to the sheriff that he should make to come here on 15 days from the day of St John the Baptist 12 etc., by whom etc., and who neither etc., to recognize etc., because both etc. At which day here came the parties etc., and the sheriff did not send the writ. Therefore as before it is ordered to the sheriff that he should make to come here on the morrow of St. Martin 12 etc., to recognize in the abovesaid form etc. At which day here came both the abovesaid Henry Goodryk by his attorney abovesaid and the abovesaid Christofer in his proper person and the jurors empaneled exacted similarly came, who chosen, tried, and sworn to tell the truth concerning the premisses say on their oath that the abovesaid Humfrey Tyrrell, Robert Dormer, Nicholas Lusson, John Lamborn, Guy Crafford, Edward Lamburn, John Lusson, and John Bassett on February 4 in the abovesaid 27th year [February 4, 1536] were not seised of the abovesaid 2 messuages, toft, apple orchard, and dovecote with appurtenances in his demesne as of fee to the use of the abovesaid Humfrey Halle and the heirs of his body legitimately procreated just as the abovesaid Henry above alleged; and they assess the damages of the same Henry by occasion of the abovesaid trespass beyond his outlays and costs by him put out on his suit in this part at 6s8d, and for those outlays and costs at 20s. Therefore it is considered that the abovesaid Henry recover against the aforementioned Christofer his abovesaid damages at 26s8d assessed by the abovesaid jurors in the abovesaid form as well as 40s adjudicated by the court here of increment to the same Henry at his request for his outlays and costs abovesaid, which certain damages attain in all to 5 marks, and let the abovesaid Christofer be taken etc. Afterwards, scilt., on February 12 then next following here came the abovesaid Henry by his abovesaid attorney and acknowledged that he was satisfied of the damages abovesaid; therefore let the abovesaid Christofer be quit of those damages etc.
 

Death: between 12 April 1530 and 30 September 1539, in Brentwood, Essex, England

William Tyrrell

Father: Thomas Tyrrell

Mother: Elizabeth (Bruyn) Tyrrell

Married: Elizabeth Bodley
Medieval London Widows, 1300-1500 pp219-20 (Caroline Barron, Anne F. Sutton, 1994)
The eldest daughter, Elizabeth, had been married for some years to William Tyrell of South Ockendon, Essex, a member of a large and influential family, and she already had several children including a son and heir, Humphrey. Bradbury seems to have paid a lot for this marriage and to have helped William Tyrell financially. He and Joan had hopes that Humphrey Tyrell and Joan Josselyn, the daughter of Thomas's sister, Philippa, would one day marry and unite the Bradbury and Bodley families: he promised them he manor of Bawdes after the life estates of his brother-in-law and Joan, as an inducement.

Children: Notes:
William inherited an estate named Ockendon, also called Wokingdon or South Kendon, with Bruyn manor, in Essex.
More about Stifford and Its Neighbourhood, Past and Present pp97-100 (William Palin, 1872)
    South Ockendon.
Okingdon, as it was sometimes written, seems to have been the general name originally of one district or lordship, broken, as its forest land was gradually cleared and increased in value and population, into two lordships, now constituting and known as parishes, distinguished as North and South. It is of Anglo-Saxon origin, supposed to mean Oak-pasture-hill (called a hill, from being bounded on the south-east and east by the valley of the Mardyke, and on the north by the valley of Great Warley and Cranham). The same process of disintegration going on as at Thurrock and Tilbury, and commonly elsewhere in the ancient manors of our neighbourhood (from the same cause, and with a view to marriage settlements, etc.), it was further divided, in 1471, into the two manors of Bruyns and Groves, going to the coheiresses of Sir Thos. Bruyn, viz., Bruyns, or what we now know as South Ockendon Hall, to Elizabeth, wife of Thos. Tyrell, son of Sir Thomas Tyrell, of Heron; and Groves to Alice, widow of Robert Harlestone, Esq.
  BRUYNS.—The manor-house, now known as South Ockendon Hall, is the residence of Mr. Charles Sturgeon. Morant describes the original mansion as partly surviving when he wrote, a little over a century ago:—“The capital seat was a stately one, not far from the church. Little of it remains now but the front, which is of stone, in the Gothick style. It was encompassed by a moat, very wide, and full of fine clear water.” ... Of the original mansion the only part now remaining is a part of the ancient gateway and draw-bridge. ...
We have said this manor, or estate, of Bruyns fell to Elizabeth, daughter of Sir Thos. Bruyn, by the death of her mother in 1471. According to Morant this Elizabeth Bruyn had three husbands,—1. William Malony, Esq., by whom she had no issue; 2. As before mentioned, Thos. Tyrell, Esq.; 3. Sir Wm. Brandon, Standard Bearer to King Henry VII. [then Earl of Richmond, 1485] at Bosworth Field, where he was killed by King Richard III. himself. ...
  This Elizabeth Tyrell or Brandon had, it seems, a son, Hugh Tyrell, by her second husband, Thos. Tyrell, who inherited the manor on his mother’s death; after him the property came to her second son, William, who married Elizabeth, daughter of Thos. Bodley, Esq.

On 1 July 1507, William and Elizabeth sold 4 manors (South Carlton, Worlaby, Killingholme and Irby upon Humber) and 4500 acres in Lomcolnshire to six people for a total of £400
CP 25/1/145/165, number 78. (image of document)

Parties: Robert Dymmok', knight, Richard Thymbulby, esquire, Robert Sutton', esquire, John Seyntpoule, esquire, John Hennege and Thomas Wryght', clerk, querents, and William Tyrell' of Southwokyngton', esquire, and Elizabeth, his wife, deforciants.
Property: The manors of Carleton' Paynell', Worleby, Kyllyngholme and Erby and 30 messuages, 3 tofts, 1 mill, 2000 acres of land, 500 acres of meadow, 1500 acres of pasture, 500 acres of wood and 20 shillings of rent in Carleton' Paynell', Carleton' Wyldecarre, Worleby, Kyllyngholme, Braughton', Erby, Laseby and Magna Cotes, and also the advowson of the church of Erby.
Action: Plea of covenant.
Agreement: William and Elizabeth have acknowledged the manors, tenements and advowson to be the right of John Seyntpoule, and have remised and quitclaimed them from themselves and the heirs of Elizabeth to Robert, Richard, Robert, John, John and Thomas and the heirs of John Seyntpoule for ever.
Warranty: Warranty.
For this: Robert, Richard, Robert, John, John and Thomas have given them 400 pounds sterling.

Charles Brandon: Henry VIII's Closest Friend (Steven Gunn, 2015)
For £40 in cash, and the transfer of £140 of Tyrrell’s debts, Suffolk bought in 1528 from William Tyrrell the reversion to their mother's moiety of South Ockendon, Essex. As William’s son had been married ten years and had a son, Suffolk may have been doing his relations a favour; this seems likely in the light of their links with his supporters and the fact that he had helped them in the past. The reversion never fell in.

Medieval London Widows, 1300-1500 pp219-20n (Caroline Barron, Anne F. Sutton, 1994)
Bradbury probably assisted Tyrell to retrieve some of his inheritance: Tyrell's mother, Elizabeth Bruyn had been a coheiress with her sister, Alice, and both of them married several times leaving a disputed inheritance. The Harlestons were the heirs of Alice, represented by Sir Charles Harleston in 1531 when the manor of South Ockendon was finally divided. The manor of Beckenham, Kent, was divided much earlier between the Tyrells and Harlestons, the Tyrell moiety being further complicated by Elizabeth Bruyn's second marriage into the powerful Brandon family represented by Charles Brandon, Duke of Suffolk, in 1531. The precise transactions have not been discovered but the marriage arrangements for William and Elizabeth Bodley may have involved the purchase of the Tyrell moiety by Bradbury and a bailing out of Tyrell during his conflict with the Brandons. Bradbury owned the moiety at his death and bequeathed it to Humphrey, son of William Tyrell after Joan's life interest.

Death: circa 1534
A History of the County of Essex vol 7 pp117-126 transcribed at British History Online
  In 1531 William Tyrell received the manor of GROVES or COLCARTERS in the division of the Bruyn inheritance. He died c. 1534 and was succeeded by his son Humphrey.
