The Margaret attached here as his wife appears to be an illegitimate daughter of the 1st earl of Douglas, not the Margaret Douglas who is described in the bio above. Mark, could you check and determine whether it is just a case of the wrong wife being attached, or whether two Margarets have been conflated? Thanks.

Daughter's DOB (1435) conflicts with mother's DOD (1425) ?

Herries-38 and Herries-8 appear to represent the same person because: There were several sons of John, including Herbert and Robert. They were not the same people. As eldest son, Herbert succeeded his father. (Robert was probably the 3rd son.) The dates you have attached to "Robert Herbert" are for Herbert, as is the wife, Margaret Douglas. We can separate out Herbert and Robert, including children, or merge them. I favor merging.
