Revision as of 15:27, 30 November 2021

Agnus Dei

Thomas Thursby (died 1510), was a merchant, three times Mayor of King's Lynn and the founder and benefactor of Thoresby College.

He was the son of Henry Thursby, four times Mayor of Lynn and Burgess for Lynn,[1] in turn son of John Thursby, Mayor of Lynn Regis 1425[2] and Deputy-Mayor 1435.[1] Thomas' brother, Robert Thursby, was Burgess for Lynn 1462–3, 1482–3 and 1487, holding the manors of Ashwicken and Burg's Hall in Hillington before his death, 29 October 1500.

In his will he leaves 'my special good lord of Oxenford' a tabernacle of our Lady of gold.[1][3]

At the time of his death, he was married to Elizabeth (d.1518), the widow of Robert Aylmer (d.1493[4]) Mayor of Norwich.[5]

Francis Blomefield saw a north isle window in St. Laurence's Church, Norwich, commemorating Elizabeth’s three husbands, bearing the inscription:[5]

Orate pro bono statu Thome Thirsby, et Eliz. Ur. et pro aiab: Johis: et Rob. Aylmer quondam maiorum Civitatis Norwici

There were four Thomas Thursbys in the same geographical area in the same time period, which has through the centuries made unambiguous identification challenging. These were in addition to this Thomas Thursby (d.1510), his son by the same name (d.1543), a grand-nephew Thomas Thursby (1498[6]–1532[7]) and his son a great-grand-nephew Thomas Thursby of Bocking (d.1541[8]).

Both Bruce Bannerman[1] and E.M. Yates[9] identify the notorious land-encloser by the same name as the son of Thomas Thursby (d.1510), Mayor of King's Lynn.

Children

In his will, he mentions the following children:

According to Miscellanea genealogica Thomas Thursby was married several times, so there is some uncertainty as to who the mother of his children was.[1] If the birth date given for his son of the same name, 1487,[1] is correct, he cannot possibly be the son of Elizabeth, as she was still the wife of Robert Aylmer (d.1493) then.

Other family

Agnus Dei

Thomas Thursby (d.1510) had a brother, Robert Thursby, whose son, Henry Thursby (1476–1506) married Ellen (b.1477), daughter and coheir of Thomas Fotheringhay and niece and coheiress of John Doreward.[16] They had two sons, Thomas Thursby (1498[17]–1532[18]) and Henry.[17] This Thomas Thursby married Elizabeth or Isabel, daughter of John Burgoyne, and had a son also named Thomas Thursby of Bocking (d.1541[19]), who at his death left behind a small son called Edward.[20][21][22][19] This other branch migrated to Essex, as a result of an inheritance from Ellen Fotheringhay's Doreward relatives.[23][24][25][26][27][28][29][20][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38]

The Thomas Thursby his widow Elizabeth leaves a silver and gilt Agnus Dei with holy wax therein, and to his wife a silver and gilt image of our lady in 1518,[39] was probably his great-grandnephew Thomas Thursby (1498–1532) and his wife Elizabeth Burgoyne.

Rather, he himself appear to have been the great-grandson of William Doreward. His maternal grandmother was Elizabeth Doreward, and Elizabeth Doreward was the heiress of her father William Doreward, and Thomas Thursby's (d.1532) mother, Elizabeth's daughter Helen/Ellen Fotheringhay was the coheiress of her uncle, John Doreward. The death date appears completely correct, however, as it is known that this Thomas Thursby died after 1529, but before 1538.
