He m. secondly, Elizabeth, daughter of Sir Edward Watson, of Rockingham Castle, and widow of Sir John Needham, of Lichborough, both in Northamptonshire, but had no other issue. Sir Edward Tyrrell attempted to remove his eldest son from succession to the baronetcy, by surrendering the patent to the crown, in 1638, and obtaining a new one dated 19th February, in that year, with precedency of the former, altering the succession to his second and third sons, passing entirely over the eldest; but in the Viscount Purbeck's case, it was laid down, that a dignity cannot be surrendered to the crown, to the prejudice of the next heir, for it is annexed to the blood, and nothing but a deficiency or corruption of the blood can hinder the descent. And the House of Lords in that case resolved and adjudged, "That no fine now levied, nor at any time hereafter to be levied to the king, can bar such title of honour, or the right of any person claiming such title under him that levied, or shall levy such fine." On the death, therefore, of Sir Edward Tyrrell, in June, 1656, there were actually two baronetcies of the same precedency, the first patent inherited by the eldest son, the last by the second: the eldest son,

COLLIER, in his historical dictionary, says, "The Tyrwhitts are considerably ancient, as appears by their being high sheriff's of Lincolnshire 22 EDWARD IV. and of Yorkshire, 14 HENRY VI." And Philips describes them as "a family of great honour and antiquity in the county of Lincoln, descended from Robert Tirwhitt, an eminent lawyer in the reigns of Kings HENRY IV. and V. He was first called to the degree of a serjeant, and then constituted one of the justices of the court of Common Pleas, out of which court he was removed to the King's Bench." Camden speaking of Kettleby, calls it, The seat of the famous family of the Tirwhitts, knights, who now reside at Stanfield."
