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]

There were four Thomas Thursbys in the same geographical area in the same time period, making unambiguous identification challenging. These were in addition to this Thomas Thursby (d.1510), his son by the same name (d.1543), and a grand-nephew and a great-grand-nephew. His brother Robert Thursby had a son, Henry Thursby (1476–1506) who married Ellen (b.1477), daughter and coheir of Thomas Fotheringhay, niece and coheiress of John Doreward.[6] They had two sons, Thomas Thursby (1498[7]–1532[8]) and Henry.[7] This Thomas Thursby (d.1541[9]) married Elizabeth or Isabel, daughter of John Burgoyne, and had a son Edward.[10][11][12][9] This other branch migrated to Essex, as a result of an inheritance from Ellen Fotheringhay's Doreward relatives.[13][14][15][16][17][18][19][10][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28]

Both Bruce Bannerman[1] and E.M. Yates[29] identify the notorious land-encloser as the son of Thomas Thursby (d.1510), Mayor of King's Lynn.

Children

In his will, he mentions the following children:

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.

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.
