2(iii). Edward Shurley, esq - Named in the 1525 will of his father John Shurley of Isfield. After a list of bequests, his father ordered certain assets of his estate to be sold and the money given to son Edward. There is considerable discussion of Edward becoming a priest in his father's 1525 Will, which apparently did not occur. Edward was named residual heir of his father upon the failure of heirs by his two older brothers, John Shurley and William Shurley, and only if Edward did not become a priest. He clearly inherited the Manors of his father John Shurley, apparently upon the deaths of his two elder brothers John Shurley and William Shurley as well as the failure of either to produce a male heir. Edward died 16 March 1558.
married Joan Fenner, daughter of John Fenner, Esq. Joan married Anthony Morley next.
