Research Notes

Estimated birth year: 1396 is an estimate. Ralph and Margaret (Stafford) Neville married in 1382 and had eight children; her mother died in 1396. Of the six daughters, Margaret was listed last. Her brother John was born in or before 1387. Her first husband was born in 1394 and her second in 1392.^[1]

Death date: Richardson has 1463/4.^[1] Datafield had 4 March 1463, but no source for that date in the text. Dual dating is common for January-March dates prior to 1752.

Magna Carta Project

Margaret (Neville) Cressener was identified by the Magna Carta Project in a trail from Gateway Ancestors Richard Bernard and William Bernard to Magna Carta Surety Baron John FitzRobert that was project approved/badged in March 2015. Over time, the project identified this profile in other badged trails from the Bernard cousins to surety barons Roger le Bigod, Hugh le Bigod, Richard de Clare, Gilbert de Clare, John de Lacy and Saher de Quincy. These trails are outlined in the Magna Carta Trails sections of the profiles of Richard Bernard and William Bernard.

• Needs Re-Review: This profile was developed and approved in 2015 and needs re-review against the project's checklist to bring it up to current project standards. ~ Thiessen-117 7 July 2020.

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".
