- Henry Berney Esq. is a descendant of Magna Carta Surety Barons Saher de Quincy, John de Lacy, Gilbert de Clare and Richard de Clare in trails that were project approved/badged in May 2015 by the Magna Carta Project to Gateway Ancestors Marmaduke Beckwith and Edmund Jennings. Badged trails from Beckwith/Jennings to sureties William d'Aubigny and Robert de Ros were connected later. This profile also appears in a badged trail from Beckwith and Jennings to surety barons Hugh le Bigod and Roger le Bigod that was developed in Autumn 2022. Trails to the aforementioned surety barons are outlined in the Magna Carta Trails section of both Gateway's profiles: Beckwith and Jennings.
