Family and Business
Tyldesley was a family man with wife Rachel Jane, son Arnold Clifford and daughter Edith Eleanor. Like some other cricket professionals including Jack Hobbs and Herbert Sutcliffe, Tyldesley went into the sports goods business and opened a shop on Deansgate in central Manchester which he ran through the 1920s. He had been granted a benefit match by Lancashire, against Yorkshire at Old Trafford in 1906, which realised a profit of £3,105.
Wisden recorded in Tyldesley's obituary that he had been in weak health for some years. He died at his home in Monton on the morning of 27 November 1930 after he collapsed whilst putting on his boots before going to work at his shop on Deansgate. He was buried at Worsley Parish Church, his wife and children eventually being laid to rest in the same grave.
His younger brother Ernest Tyldesley (1889 – 1962) was also a high-class batsman for Lancashire.
