Source for Margaret Whitmore's marriage to John de Mowbrey-54?

Question

John de Mowbray-54, who married shortly after 29 Nov 1297 to Aline de Brewes (or Breuse, Braose-39) and was hanged 23 Mar 1321/2 at York, currently shows a wife Margaret Whitmore-904.

Whitmore-904 does not appear in the sources referenced on Mowbray-54's profile. Her own profile only shows ancestry.com family trees.

If anyone has a source for this couple, please share it. Otherwise I'll be removing her as we improve Mowbray-54 for the Magna Carta Project.

Thanks

Answer 1

The De Mowbray family were Barons,and Dukes and were early in time 1200 and

later.Being Nobility they were proven.The marriage your talking about ,she could have

been a concubine or wife,having elligitimate children.Often so called experts on

these things argue amongst themselves.And you have to remember this is 700 years

ago.

You're right, she could have been a concubine or wife. John de Mowbray may have even promised her the "known world"! 

As her profile stands, she has no biography, no parents, no issue (legitimate or otherwise), and no sources. So right now, we just don't know.

My interest in her profile is that she is currently connected to two projects (EuroAristo and Magna Carta), where we do base what we're contributing on research and sources. 

Someone loaded her profile. More than once based, as there was at least one merge. Perhaps someone knows something about her. Hence the question, have you seen anyone argue about her, mention her, suggest she existed and/or was connected to John de Mowbray?

It's not a real merge, it's just Darlene conforming the LNAB.

Margaret arrived married to Day-861 who got merged in 2013.

My guess would be, somebody's cat sat on their mouse and pasted "2nd Lord Mowbray" into the middle of "John Day".  Then the gedcom escaped into the wild, and thus does history get rewritten nowadays.  Is she on Wikipedia yet?

This internet genealogy (which couldn't be considered reliable) http://fabpedigree.com/s073/f344094.htm does show that the parents of Margaret Day, were John Day and Margaret de Whitmore.

RJ is right that John Day, got changed into John Mowbray.

I think that you could safely unlink Margaret Whitmore from John Mowbray, and maybe put on her profile that she is possibly the wife of John Day, and mother of Margaret Day, which is still to be confirmed.

Thanks - will make the change and leave a note.
