Biography

Father Christopher Wentworth b. 1556, d. 8 Dec 1628

Mother Katharine Marbury b. abt 1560, d. aft May 1633

They moved to Rigsby in Lincolnshire, about two miles away, but very few records of Rigsby still exist. It is not known if they had more children or what became of William and Susanna.^[2]

He was living on 16 Mar 1641/2 when listed in the Protestation returns. Norburial or estate record yet found.^[3]

Magna Carta Project

William Wentworth is possiby a descendant of Magna Carta Surety Barons Hugh le Bigod and Roger le Bigod in a trail to Gateway Ancestor William Wentworth. This possible trail needs further research and development and is detailed in the Magna Carta Trails section below.

• 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".
