Hi folks, I recently resurrected this from my notes. You may have seen some or all of it before, but this is probably the first time that I've posted it in this form. Cheers Rich Examples of early mentions of Tetlows, Tetleys etc are as follows. · Adam de Tottelawe (of Salford, Lancashire), paid part of the knights fees to Edward I, when the King’s eldest daughter married. (Cheshire Court Rolls) · John Tylly was mentioned in 'Kirkby’s inquest' in 1272 as being a landholder in Gomersal. · Hugh de Tetlowe was recorded as having been murdered in 1316 (Vol 1, New Series of the Chetham society.) · Sir Thomas de Titteleye, of Lincolnshire, is mentioned in ‘Knights of Edward I.’, published by the Harleian Society. · Sir William de Titteleye, featured in trespass cases in Wales in the 1290s (‘Knights of Edward I.’, published by the Harleian Society.) · Richard Tetlow was granted Chamber Hall in 1320 (Lancs & Cheshire Antiquarian Socy 1890) · Jordan de Tetlowe was around in the 1300s, in Lancashire. He married into the Prestwich and de Trafford families. He, or a namesake, cut off the thumb of Robert del Bothe in Manchester in 1322, and was described as "a common evildoer". In 1333 he, (or a namesake) was accused along with Richard Tetlow and 40 others, with the murder of Sir William Bradshaw. (Vol 1, new Series, Chetham Society records). Several offspring of Jordan, are known to have existed. · Richard de Tettelowe was acknowledged as the rightful owner of land in Mancestre and Wythington in 1384 ('The Wapentake of Salford, prerequisites'.) · John de Tetteley was around in the Isle of Axholme in the 1300s (George Redmonds:-‘Yorkshire surnames’) · Robert de Tetlawe was associated with the Duchy Of Lancaster in the 1400s (Feudal Aids, Public Record Office, vol 6 p 606) · Reignolde Tetlawe was aged 60 in 1536 (Pleadings and Depositions in the Duchy Court of Lancaster) · John Tytlott, drapour, died in Hull in 1484. · Jennett Tetlawe and Seth Tetlawe were baptised in 1547 at Warley, near Halifax. · The Tetlows of Chamber Hall, and others in the Oldham and Manchester areas are fairly well documented for the 1500s and 1600s. · Tetlows occur in parish records around Ashbourne and Wirksworth in Derbyshire in the 1500s. · Several Tetlow/Tetley/Tetlay/Tetlawe children were baptised in Birstall from 1564 onwards. The spelling of the name seems to have been variable! · Peter Titley was Rector of Ufford, Northants in 1575. · William Tetlay of Holbeck, Leeds, buried his daughter Elizabeth in 1597. · Richard & Peter Titley (sons of Peter Rector of Ufford) recorded as being vicars of Bourne and Grantham in Lincolnshire in the early 1600s. · John Tetlawe, who was a vicar at Garton in Holderness, died in 1614. (YAS records vol 73) The resulting spread of Tetlows, Tetleys, Titleys etc. seems to be such that in the early 19th century, the Tetlows are concentrated in Lancashire, (with one offshoot in London and another in Derbyshire); The Titleys are mostly in the midlands e.g. Salop (Shropshire); and the Tetleys are mostly in the West Riding of Yorkshire, but with a couple of concentrations in Nottingham and Ashby de la Zouch. By the end of the 20th century members of the Tetley, Tetlow, Titley etc., families can be found around the world, notably in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, South Africa, theUSA, and of course England. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
