George Ernest Tyldesley. Lancashire & England 1909-1936. Two page folded letter handwritten in ink from Ernest Tyldesley to a Mr. Hunter. Dated 3rd November 1930, Tyldesley is writing to thank the correspondent ‘for your kind letter of sympathy received’ following the death of his brother, J.T. ‘Johnny’ Tyldesley (Lancashire & England 1895-1923). ‘The sudden death of my brother was a great shock, especially as he had recently been on the better side’. Very nicely signed, ‘Ernest Tyldesely’. Light fold, otherwise in very good condition.
At the age of 57, Johnny Tyldesley collapsed and died at his home while putting on his boots to go work. The Tyldesley brothers played over six hundred games each for Lancashire and represented England at Test level, Johnny in 31 matches (1898-1909), Ernest in 14 (1921-1929).
