5th s. Ric. III, Crown and People ed. Petre, 203, probably following Vis. Essex (Harl. Soc. xiii), 111, refers to him as Sir John’s ‘third’ son. of (Sir) John Tyrell*; yr. bro. of Thomas* and William I*. m. (1) Anne, da. of – Fitzsymond, According to Vis. Essex, 111, Anne was a da. and coh. of Sir Robert Fitzsymond, but P. Morant, Essex, i. 286, and Trans. Essex Arch. Soc. iii. 87 call her the da. of ‘William Fitz-Simon’ and J.H. Tyrrell, Gen. Hist. of Tyrrells, 116, 118, says her fa. was ‘Sir John Simon’. Whatever the case, she was probably from a branch of the Essex Fitzsymonds. Presumably the MP counted Sir John Fitzsymond and Robert Fitzsymond, with whom he was associated as a commr., witness and feoffee in the mid 15th century, among his in-laws: CCR, 1435-41, p. 490; 1454-61, pp. 338, 347; CPR, 1446-52, p. 431; Essex RO, deeds, 1460, 1465, D/DHf T41/102, D/DU 568/10, 11. 1s. 1da.; Vis.
