It is really something to sing and dance about.
Dig up those old bones and get them dancing!

Change the two party system
so people against something like abortion
but for something like environmental protection never again get bigger and badder storms
and two bankrupting wars instead.

Tilney 1: Tilney/Tylney of Boston, Tilney of Shelley, Tilney Tylney of Tilney, Tilney of Wexford
We have been advised by a site visitor JECR, 30.05.06 that "The Tilney pedigree is bogus." We understand that this refers to the early generations reported by the book that is our main source for this family. Pending further investigation, we have 'italicised' the early generations to show that they should be viewed with caution.
Brother of Baldwin, an abbot who died in 1097, was ...
Ty27. Frodo a temp Edward the Confessor, a 1066
Ty26. Alan de Tilney a temp King Stephen who r. 1135-1154

Unfortunately, the page that provided the information for this family had been torn. We were not able to read the name of the next generation and have probably missed out on some of the branches of the family. Given the doubt about the reliability of the earlier generations reported by Pishey Thompson's book, we start 'properly' with the following Frederick a 1327.
