I have some information on Bishop Thomas Thurlby.
He was born to John and Joan Thirlby and studied at Cambridge University.His entry in Alumni Cantabrigienses is long but ends with"...in other ways he showed himself to be hostile to the proposed religious changes, and in 1559 he was deprived of his bishopric.For preaching against the innovations he was arrested in 1560, and he was in honourable confinement at Lambeth Palace when he died on the 26th of August 1570."
