Margaret was the daughter of Thomas Fiennes[1][2] and Ann Urswick.[3][4] Her birth date is not known, but her parents married before 22 February 1482:[5][6] and her son John (who was his parents' main heir) was born in about 1520.[3][4] the approximate birth year of 1490 is based on this. She may have been born in Sussex where her father had his main property.[5][6]
Before 1520 (the approximate birth date of their son) Margaret married William Lunsford,[1][2] probably in Sussex where both their fathers had property.[3][4] They had seven children:
Jane, who married someone with the last name Jennyns[1][2][3][4]
Mary, who married Robert Dallinger[3][4] (her husband's name is given as Callinder in the Harleian Society edition of Sussex Visitations[1] and Dallinder in their edition of the 1619 Warwickshire Visitation[2])
