Talk:Edward Tenison

Nephew?
Tenison is often called "nephew" to Thomas Tenison, but that would refer to nephew-by-marriage, and would mislead modern readers. Charles Matthews (talk) 12:29, 9 January 2012 (UTC)


 * It appears the the word cousin (cozen) was often used to describe a near relative. For example this is a line from John Tenison's will (father of Thomas Tenison): To my cozen Edward Tenison, son of my brother Doctor [Philip] Tenison.  Obviously today the relationship would be uncle to nephew. In his will John Tenison is probably referring to Edward Tenison of Lambeth who died unmarried in 1714 (he was uncle of Edward Tenison of Ossory). Sidpickle (talk) 09:42, 22 January 2021 (UTC)
