Margaret Watson Plantagenet 1479 - 1528

Question

I am researching a family tree and it has led to Margaret but it then says that she is the daughter of Edward IV and Elizabeth Woodville but it can't be because their daughter Margaret died in infancy.  Does anyone know who her parents actually were?  I am stumped at this point.  She is supposed to have been married first to Thomas Stoughton  and then John Watson but even those dates seem to conflict.

Comments

My line also came to same people. I saw that Edward IV daughter died too. was hoping you found out the truth.

Hi, I found this while trying to sort out the history.  If it helps in any way please let me know.  There are so many questions and not enough answers. It even conflicts on this info.   Good luck.

I found she's the daughter if Edward and Elizabeth as well and I also only want to .are my tree accurate for future generations, so of you have did this for 40 years can you tell us who her parents are if not them? Thank you!!

Answer 1

My area of study for forty plus years has been the descendents of British nobility and medieval history.  There is NO Plantagenet female, including acknowledged bastards who have married men named Watson or Stoughton. These surnames are not linked to the Plantagenet dynasty in Debrett's or Burke's Peerage,nor in the studies of historian J. Rounds.Official biographical entries for the Reverend Thomas Stoughton list Margaret with no known surname.I will continue searching through my various references but have little hope of identifying Margaret's true lineage.   C Evans

This Margaret Woodville Watson Plantagent has come up on my tree.  I am hoping someone may tell me where it has come from or started.  I am trying to find out exactly who she is and as you have said she does not come up on any official writing.  On saying that google the name and so many people have recorded her on their tree as the daughter of Edward VII.  I now also have my doubts.  For myself If I could get back to the being of this woman's recording there maybe something else that can link me to the correct family. I hope someone can help me.

Note:  I am not worried about finding nobility as I already have connect to them via my Balfour, Montgomerie, Byron and West family.  I just like to add her whoever she is
