2. John Wentworth was born in of North Elmsall, Yorkshire, England (son of John Wentworth and Joan Le Tyes); died after 1388. Notes:
The Wentworth Genealogy (1878) omits this generation, and has Alice Bissett, heir of John Bissett of North Elmsall, marrying the John Wentworth who was brother to this John Wentworth's grandfather William Wentworth (d. 1308), and North Elmshall passing to that John's nephew John (this John's father) after the older John died without surviving issue. We have placed Alice Bissett here instead based on the notes of John P. Ravilious and Brice Clagett. Note that neither of them (to our knowledge) give a name for her father.

- Alternate birth: of Elmsall, Yorkshire, England

Notes:
"The elder Richard Tyas was dead before 2 Jan 1329, when his widow Alice granted her rents in Meltham to Richard her son." [The Cartulary of St. Leonard's Hospital, York, citation details below]
The aforementioned Cartulary makes this Richard a son of Francis/Franco/Frank le Tyes, who actually appears to have been Richard's grandfather. Our guess is that the error arises from a well-meaning misreading of a confusing aspect of of Dodsworth's "Yorkshire Notes: The Wapentake of Agbrigg" (citation details below). The father of the Richard of this page, who was a son of Francis/Franco/Frank, is generally called in various pedigrees Henry, but evidence exists that he was actually named Richard. On his pedigree chart Dodsworth says of this Richard's father "Henry le Tyes was living 1279 (more probably named Richard le Tyes)", and in the long footnote on pages 132-33 he refers to a Richard being "the son of Franco" -- we think meaning, by "Richard", the member of the le Tyes family who has often been called, probably incorrectly, Henry.Richard married Alice le Tankersley. Alice (daughter of Richard de Tankersley and Sarah de Thornhill) died after 2 Jan 1329. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
