Earl Tylney

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Earl Tylney was a title in the Peerage of Ireland created on 11 June 1731 for Richard Tylney, 1st Viscount Castlemaine, the MP for Essex, who later changed his surname to Tylney. He had been created Viscount Castlemaine and Baron Newtown, in the Peerage of Ireland, on 24 April 1718. He had succeeded as 3rd Baronet in 1704, his ancestor Josias Child having been created a baronet of Wanstead, Essex on 16 July 1678 in the Baronetage of England. On the death of the 2nd Earl in 1784, all three titles and the baronetcy became extinct.
