2nd. s of Philip Tilney (d.1453) of Boston by Isabel (d.1436), F. Blomefield, Norf. v. 150. da. and coh. of Sir Edmund Thorpe† (d.1418) of Ashwellthorpe, Norf. m. (1) by Hil. 1463, Mary, ?da. of Sir Richard Waldegrave of Bures St. Mary, Suff., by Joan. da. of John Doreward† of Bocking, Essex, s.p.; Her identification as a Waldegrave depends on the Tilney ped. in P. Thompson, Boston, but it is probably correct. Her Christian name is confirmed by a fine of 1463, and our MP appeared alongside Thomas Waldegrave in a gift of goods in 1453: CCR, 1454-61, p. 345.
