My computer records have a record drawn from the Official Baronage by Doyle1886 and has her birth data as 2 May 1304 born in Ludlow, Herefordshire, I also have references to the data held in wikipedia "Margaret Mortimer, Baroness Berkeley - From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Margaret_Mortimer,_Baroness_Berkeley
According to Lewis, as linked from our bio already:
Robin, can you edit the marriage date in the database to be "after 28 Aug 1329" rather than the current "after 10 May 1319"?
