PURSLOW, Nicholas (by 1533-63), of the Inner Temple, London.

Purslow may have owed his return at Morpeth to his fellow Inner Templar John Eltoftes, with whom he had represented Appleby in 1558. Purslow made his will 5 July 1563, and died on 8 Aug. His widow resided at Billingsley after his death, near Sidbury, but it is not known whether Purslow himself had a Shropshire seat. His father outlived him by some eight years.Trans. Salop Arch. Soc.
