The Wentworth Genealogy is derivative but convenient and mostly accurate:
Needs Development: This profile needs development against the project's checklist to bring it up to current project standards. NOTE: new research needs to be checked before developing this trail (see note at the top of the Gateway's profile). Also see to SGM discussions (links on Gateway profile). ~ Thiessen-117 19:56, 7 October 2020 (UTC)
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".

This profile is in a possible trail between Gateway Ancestor Elder William Wentworth and Magna Carta surety barons Hugh le Bigod and Roger le Bigod that needs reserch and development by the Magna Carta Project. If there are no objections, I will soon be adding the project as co-manager of this profile and will add a project box and project section to the biography. NOTE: This trail has not yet been verified and needs research. This profile still needs to be developed against the project's checklist. Thanks!
My 16th great grandfather so I'm up for it once I finish OT2 Traci ! Also a Plantagenet descendant if I did my genealogy correctly a year ago when I was a super-newbie
