Earl Tylney

Earl Tylney, of Castlemaine in the County of Kerry, was a title in the Peerage of Ireland.

[1] In 1703, the future third Baronet, had married Dorothy, daughter of John Glynne, younger son of Sir John Glynne, Lord Chief Justice, by Dorothy, daughter of Francis Tylney, of Tylney Hall, Hampshire.

His eldest son Richard Tylney, therefore known as Richard Child until 1733, styled Viscount Castlemaine from 1731 until his death in 1734 predeceased his father without issue, and the Earl was thus succeeded by his second son, John, 2nd Earl Tylney.

Lady Emma, daughter of the first Earl, married Sir Robert Long, 6th Baronet.

Their son James succeeded to the estates of his uncle the second Earl on his death, upon which he assumed the additional surname of Tylney.
