>From O F Brown's "The Tyrells of England" it would seem that the following
is the Sir William Tyrell you are after, but his daughters don't fit in
with your information. This is the only Sir William of Heron. (Note O F
Brown's book is quite good, but I have found errors in it.)

WILLIAM Tyrell (d 14 Apr 1471 bat of
Barnet, bur Augustine Friars,
London); Sir; Lancastrian; In
1468 knighted at bat of
Northampton; m1 Eleanor/Alianor d of
Sir ROBERT DARCY* of Maldon, m2 unknown.

His daughters (by which wife is unknown) are shown as

1)Alice m JOHN ROCHESTER

2)Maud m RICHARD WHITE
(and is said to have left Susan,
who d afrter 1564, a wealthy;
confidant of Queen Mary. Susan m
THOMAS TONGE, Charenceux
king of arms (who died -1534/6)

He also left sons

The marriage of Maud and Richard White is stated to have been found in V.
Hants 1530-1634 (Note Farnham is in Surrey, but right on the boarder with
Hampshire = Hants)

No second wife of Maud is shown, nor can I see any refs to Hungerford.

Susan Tonge -said- to be the daughter of Maud and Richard White of Hutton,
Essex.
