Matilda Thwaites

Mathilda (Maud) Thwaites was perhaps the eldest daughter of John Thwaites (d 1469) by his second wife, Isabel Ryther.

From page 82 of Ilkley: Ancient & Modern By Robert Collyer, Joseph Horsfall Turner

Sir John Middleton, the eldest son and heir, married Matilda, daughter of Sir John Thwaits, of Lofthouse, a judge, the pedigrees say; but beyond this, all we know about him is that three children were born of this marriage,

• Peter,
• John, and
• Elizabeth,

and that he was present with his brother Richard at the Coronation of Richard III., in July, 1483.

Mathilda Thwaites, oldest daughter of Isabel Ryther and John Thwaites, married to John Middleton of Stockeld, son of William Middleton and Margaret Hamerton; both were the grandparents of Sir William Middleton, High Sheriff of York in 1529.

From Dugdale's Visitation of Yorkshire, with additions, Parts 5-7, Sir William Dugdale.

XI. SIR JOHN MIDDLETON, KNT., of Stockeld, etc., mar. Matilda, dau. of Sir John Thwaites, of Lofthouse.

They had issue-

• 1. (XII). SIR PETER MIDDLETON, of Stockeld, etc. Adm. at York 21 Apr. 1499; mar. Anne, dau. of Sir Henry Vavasour, of Hazlewood. They had issue?
• 2. John (Flower).
• 1. Elizabeth, mar. Robert Roos, of Laxton, co. Notts.

In 10 Hen VI (1431/32) John Thwaites enfeoffed (?) Sir William Gascoigne with 'my manor of Denton', but John Thwaites and his wife Isabel [Ryther] were regranted Denton with a new entail, first to their [future] male heirs, then to John's son Thomas and his male heirs, then the male heirs of John's daughter Matilda married to John Middleton of Stockeld, and then the right heirs of John. This was likely associated with John's marriage to Isabel Ryther. John Thwaites again granted Denton then to his son Thomas, and Thomas' wife Alicia dau of Thomas del Hay in 37 Hen VI (1468/69). By this it is clear that Thwaites had no male issue by his second wife, and Thomas m. Alicia de la Haye was the heir of Denton. Mathilda (Maud) Thwaites was perhaps the eldest daughter by his second wife, Isabel Ryther.
