Biography

Margaret was the daughter of Thomas Fiennes^[1][2] and Ann Urswick.^[3][4] Her birth date is not known, but her parents married before 22 February 1482:^[5][6] and her son John (who was his parents' main heir) was born in about 1520.^[3][4] the approximate birth year of 1490 is based on this. She may have been born in Sussex where her father had his main property.^[5][6]

Before 1520 (the approximate birth date of their son) Margaret married William Lunsford,^[1][2] probably in Sussex where both their fathers had property.^[3][4] They had seven children:

• John^[1][2][3][4]
• Isabel, who married William Roberts^[1][2][3][4]
• Bridget, who married Thomas Coxe^[1][3][4]
• Jane, who married someone with the last name Jennyns^[1][2][3][4]
• Mary, who married Robert Dallinger^[3][4] (her husband's name is given as Callinder in the Harleian Society edition of Sussex Visitations^[1] and Dallinder in their edition of the 1619 Warwickshire Visitation^[2])
• Anne^[1][2][3][4]
• Margaret^[3][4]

William Lunsford died on 3 May 1531. Margaret survived him, and is recorded as living on 26 September 1533.^[3][4]

Margaret appears in Magna Carta Ancestry in a Richardson-documented trail from Gateway Ancestor Thomas Lunsford to Magna Carta Surety Baron Geoffrey de Say (vol. III, pages 84-85 LUNSFORD). The trail to Say was badged by the Magna Carta Project in Feb 2015. This profile also appears in a badged trail from Gateway Thomas Lunsford to surety baron Richard de Clare that branches off the Say trail. See both trails in the Magna Carta Trails section of the Gateway's profile.

See Base Camp for more information about identified Magna Carta trails and their status. See the project's glossary for project-specific terms, such as a "badged trail".
