Unsourced Information

The following unsourced information is from Lewis's database:[6]

Born circa 1410, "at of" Wenham Parva, Suffolk, England.[7]
  • 1410 is a reasonable guess based on her husband's age - John Shelton was baptized in 1406.[1][3]
  • "Wenham Parva" is not mentioned in Richardson's entries for her or her parents. Based on locations that Richardson does list, Norfolk is a more likely birth location (her father is of Suffolk and Norfolk; her mother's father is of Yorkshire and Norfolk; her husband is of Norfolk and Suffolk, but his father is just of Norfolk. Richardson citations for her and her parents include the Visitations of Norfolk.[2]
Died 1479, England. England is a reasonable guess, but 1479 appears to have no basis in facts.

An unsourced online tree has Margaret's baptism in 1412, Salle Parish, Norfolk; marriage in 1429 in Shelton, Norfolk; and death in 1479, England.[8]

Magna Carta Project

Margaret (Brewes) Shelton is listed in Magna Carta Ancestry in a Richardson-documented trail from Gateway Ancestor Christopher Calthorpe to Magna Carta Surety Baron Richard de Clare (vol. I, pages 387-392 CALTHORPE). This profile and its trail to Richard de Clare was developed for the Magna Carta Project by Misty Rish Musco in June 2018. This profile was reviewed/approved for the project on 28 Dec 2019 and the trail was badged 17 March 2020 by Noland-165. The full trail can be seen in the Magna Carta Trails section of the Gateway's profile.
See Base Camp for more information about Magna Carta trails. See the project's glossary for project-specific terms, such as a "badged trail".
