ii. Thomas Tunstall of Thurland Castle
  Visitation mentions only "Ales doughter to Boshop Nevell" as Thomas's wife (various web sites show her as daughter of Archbishop Nevill). However, apparently also a wife of this Thomas (she'd have been too young for the previous generation, noting that Eleanor FitzHugh's marriage to his father was her 2nd of 3 marriages) was the following Eleanor who we presume to have been Thomas's 1st wife.

  I. daughter

  Visitation does not name this daughter but identifies her as "wyff to Sir William Pudsey Knight". Noting that this is indeed presumptuous, we presume that this is the Margaret (daughter of Sir Thomas Tunstall of Scargill) who married ...
