Magna Carta Project

Joan (Bigod) Calverly appears in Magna Carta Ancestry in a Richardson-documented trail from Gateway Ancestor Elizabeth Bosvile to Magna Carta Surety Barons Hugh le Bigod and Roger le Bigod (vol. I, pages 261-265 BOSVILE). Portions of this trail need further development by the Project. The trails are set out in the Magna Carta Trails section of Godfrey Bosvile's profile.

Joan (Bigod) Calverly may also be in a trail from Gateway Ancestor William Wentworth to Magna Carta Surety Barons Hugh le Bigod and Roger le Bigod (MCA I:261-262 BOSVILE). The Gateway is said to be a descendant of Thomas Wentworth, who appears in the Richardson-documented trail for Bosvile. This possible trail needs further research and development and is detailed in the Magna Carta Trails section of the profile of William Wentworth, the Gateway's father.

• Needs Development: This profile was just put under management of the Magna Carta Project and needs development against the project's checklist to bring it up to current project standards. ~ Thiessen-117 00:39, 16 July 2020 (UTC)
