This profile was updated by Pendleton-1947 in September 2020, and approved for the Magna Carta Project by Michael Cayley on 9 September 2020.

Margaret (Lovaine) Sinclair appears in project-approved/badged trails (reviewed in 2014/2015 and re-reviewed/updated in Sep 2020 by a Magna Carta Project member) from the Marbury Gateway Ancestors (Anne and Katherine) and their cousin, Kenelm Cheseldine, through Magna Carta Surety Barons Saher de Quincy, Robert de Vere, Richard de Clare, Gilbert de Clare, and John de Lacy. Each of these trails is set out in the Magna Carta Trails sections on the profiles of Bridget Dryden and Kenelm Cheseldine.

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".
