No baptismal record has been found for Ann Tyle at this time, nor a burial record for Ann (Tyle) Man, though from Hurst Manorial records it is known she died about 1767. John and Ann belong to Generation One; their children belong to Generation Two and are:

NOTE ONE: In searching for John Man the Elder's baptismal record very few ‘Johns' were found in the right time period. The one clue to his parentage was that it was believed that John's mother's name was Frances. This was based on the fact that in his will John Man the Elder admonishes his son John to be sure that his sister Frances receives the capital goods that her grandmother gave her. Since there was an elder sister, Ann, the most reasonable explanation for this was if the grandmother's name was also Frances. The record found in Wargrave (which is adjacent to Hurst) is the only one where the mother's name is Frances.
"Great Marlow, including the Borough and waste belonging to it, is bounded,
on the North, by High and West Wycombe; on the East, by Little Marlow; on the
South, by the Thames; and on the West, by the parishes of Medmenham, Hambleden,
and Fingest; the whole parish being about four miles and an half long, and three
in breadth: and containing, by computation, about 6000 acres; of which, 800 are
woodland, 200 meadow, and 4500 arable, divided into about 35 farms; the waste,
or common, not exceeding one hundred acres." [The History and Antiquities of the County of Buckingham, by George Lipscomb,
1847].
Note on the church pictured above: This is of a more modern church than the one
existing at the time of John and Ann. That church was demolished in 1832.
ADDITIONAL DATA ON JOHN MAN:
From court records of the Manor of Hurst [1600-1828] (Family History Library Film 0088300 of originals at the County Records Office,
Berkshire).
Surrender of half of Robinhoods by John Goode to John Man[n] and his heirs with Man[n]'s admission, 19 October 1715. [In Latin]
Surrender of the remaining part of Robinhoods by John Goode to John Man of Hurst, joiner.
Surrender took place on the 30 January 1738/9 and the admission on 13 April 1739.
Presentment, at a court held 31 January 1757, of the death of John Man[n] seized of
Robinhoods, since the last court. Admission of Anne, widow of John, for life.
Presentment, at a court held 19 October 1767, that Anne, widow of John Man[n], who held Robinhoods for life, lately died, and proclamation for
the heir John, son of John Man. [The son John Man does not come forward and there is no further reference to the tenement in the rest of the book, which contains courts down to 1779. The reason for John Man the younger not coming forward to claim the property that he had inherited from his mother etc., may have been due to the financial troubles that had begun to plague him and which caused him to flee to Wales, (see Thomas Roberts page)]
John Man is listed as a member of the Homage for the Court Baron of John Dalby,
Esq., Lord of the Manor of Hurst. The first entry is in January 1724 and
the last is on 2 August 1750. The codicil to John's will states that he died on
24 November 1750.
