Biography

Margaret (Tyrell) Huntingdon was born in Essex, England.

Note: Birth Year is still questionable, her grandfather died in 1474, her mother's sister was recorded as being only 22, which throws all the dates off. Margaret could have been born closer to 1458.

Margaret Tyrell/Tyrrell was born in Essex, England, and died 5 November 1492. She was the daughter of Sir William Tyrrell (died abt 1471) and his first wife, Anne FitzSimon. Margaret was married to Thomas Huntingdon.^[1][2]

Margaret was mentioned in the will of Nicholas Wentworth, Knight, written 7 February 1551, he left her heirs an interest in 'Mucking Hall.'

"And for default of such issue to the heirs of the body lawfully begotten of Margaret Huntington, [f. 145r] whose daughters and heirs were married, one to my cousin, William Mordaunt of Essex, and the other to my cousin Pares (Paris) of Cambridgeshire;"^[3]

Margaret and Thomas Huntingdon, have only their two daughters mentioned in the will of their cousin, Nicholas Wentworth and in the book "The History and Topography of Essex. ^[4]
