Biography

Margaret was the daughter of Sir William Hopton and Margaret Wentworth.^[1][2][3] Her birth date is not known but her parents married in about April 1451: it has been guesstimated as about 1455. Her father had property in Suffolk and Yorkshire, so she was likely to have been born in one of those counties.^[4][5]

Margaret married Philip Booth.^[1][2][3] They had one known child:

• Audrey, who married William Lytton^[1][2]

Margaret's husband married again before 20 May 1635, so she died before then, possibly in Suffolk or Essex, where her husband had property.^[1][2]

This profile was re-reviewed for the Magna Carta Project by Michael Cayley on 26 June 2023.

Margaret (Hopton) Booth is listed in Magna Carta Ancestry in a Richardson-documented trail between Gateway Ancestor Henry Isham and Magna Carta Surety Baron Robert de Ros (vol. II, pages 461-462 ISHAM) that was project-approved/badged in March 2016 by a Magna Carta project member. This profile also appears in trails that were badged in 2015/2016 from Gateway Henry Isham to other surety barons, including: William d'Aubigny, Gilbert de Clare, Richard de Clare, John de Lacy and Saher de Quincy. This profile also appears in trails between Henry Isham and Hugh le Bigod, Roger le Bigod and William Malet: these trails were badged in November 2022. All of these trails are set out 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".
