Ernest's elder brother JT named the Tyldesley family home in Worsley, Lancashire "Aigburth" to commemorate his younger brother's Lancashire debut at the Liverpool ground where Lancashire County Cricket Club occasionally play their matches.
His younger brother Ernest Tyldesley (1889 – 1962) was also a top-class batsman for Lancashire and played in 14 Tests for England.
The brothers J.T. and Ernest Tyldesley played cricket for Lancashire and England in the early years of the 20th century.

He proved a great success, heading the averages and working amazingly hard to back up probably the strongest batting side any country has ever fielded - so strong that men of such class as Phil Mead and Ernest Tyldesley could not keep their Test places.
He also hit up 105 against Nottinghamshire at Old Trafford and remarkably was Lancashire's fourth-highest run-scorer - though with less than half the aggregates of Ernest Tyldesley, Hallows and Makepeace.
