There is something wrong here, Margaret starts life in Norfolk then has children in Lincolnshire, Herefordshire, Kent then Herefordshire and finally dies in Lincolnshire! (Kent is obviously wrong and Stephen must have born after Alice to second husband with a possible birthdate c1288 unless he was a Colville or she was having a premarital affair with Walter!).

Thanks Malcolm. Many Magna Carta project profiles were recently adopted and need a lot of work. If you look at the project section at the bottom of the page, you'll see that the profile has not yet been developed/reviewed by the project and it's on our very long to-do list. We will get to it eventually, but if you have a source with precise places/dates, please feel free to add the information to the profile. If you are not pre-1500 certified, you can add the info in the comments section and we'll add it to the profile.

This profile is in a Richardson-documented trail between Gateway Ancestors William Randolph and Henry Randolph and Magna Carta surety baron Richard de Clare that needs development by the Magna Carta Project. I will soon be adding the project as co-manager of this profile and will add a project box and project section to the biography. This profile still needs to be developed against the project's checklist. Thanks!
