    DISCREPANCY

    I have a discrepancy in a line that I am requesting assistance on
    resolving. I am trying to determine whether or not Margery / Margaret
    Harington the wife of Richard Braddyll is the daughter of Margaret de
    Neville and William Harington, K.G.

    MY GUT FEELING

    I believe that Margaret / Margery Harington Wife of Richard Braddyll or Bradhull is the daughter of Margaret Neville and Sir William Harington as asserted in the 2022 Edition of Descents of 900 Immigrants, the Visitation
    of 1567 and Canon Raines's Lane. MSS. Vol. XIII. pp. 117-124.

    IrCOm hoping that Douglas Richardson weighs in as the only thing that gave me pause was that she wasnrCOt listed as a daughter in Royal Ancestry Volume
    III, 2011 Edition, P.319-321, #15 Margaret Neville and William Harrington,
    K.G.

    I think PeterrCOs reply further strengthened the argument. His postrCa.

    There is a stained-glass window in the Braddyll chapel at Ulverston showing "Sable a fret Argent a label of three points Gules (Harington); on an inescutcheon of pretence, Argent a saltire Gules (Nevile, of Hornby); all within a garter of the Order of the Knights of the Garter", see R.S.

    Peter Stewart



    The footnotes in the Braddyll Heraldry he linked above stated:



    118. Richard Braddyll married Margery, daughter of Sir William Harington,
    KG LM (iii 210). That really only leaves a question about whether or not
    this is the same William that married Margaret Neville.



    115.Sir William Harington, K.G., of Farleton (died 1440), married Margaret, daughter and eventually heir of Sir Robert Neville, of Hornby (died 1413) (Grimble 29).



    The same document also names Margaret NevillerCOs spouse as of Farleton.
    Hornby wasnrCOt inherited by Margaret until later. The William Harington 5th Baron of Aldingham married Margaret Hill.

    Dear Kevan ~

    Terry is correct that Sir William Harington, of Hornby, Lancashire did not
    die in 1415 as you suppose, but died in 1440. He is thought to be the Sir William Harington who was a standard bearer at the Battle of Agincourt in
    1415.

    However, his cousin, Sir William Harington (died 1458), of Aldingham, Lancashire, is known to have crossed to France in 1415 in the train of the
    Duke of Gloucester, and it is thought that he probably took part in the
    Battle of Agincourt.

    As such, it is possible that both men were at the Battle of Agincourt. If
    there was only one Sir William Harington at Agincourt, my guess would be
    that it was the Aldingham man, as he was quite active in military service
    in France after 1415.

    I've copied below my current file accounts of both men. The accounts below
    are slightly amended from the accounts of these men found in my book, Royal Ancestry, published in 2013.

    Best always, Douglas Richardson, Salt Lake City, Utah

    15. MARGARET NEVILLE, married before 17 April 1401 (date of fine) WILLIAM HARINGTON, K.G., of Farleton (in Melling), Aighton (in Mitton), Bolton-le-Moors, Chorley, Ellel, and Over Kellet, Lancashire, and Farleton
    in Kendale, Westmorland, Sheriff of Yorkshire, 1408-9, 1413-14, 1422-3, 1428-30, and, in right of his wife, of Hornby, Lancashire, son and heir of Nicholas Harington (or Haverington), Knt., of Farleton (in Melling), Bolton-le-Moors, Heath Charnock, Aighton, Lancashire, Farleton in Kendale, Westmorland, Knight of the Shire for Lancashire, Sheriff of Lancashire,

    Appleby, Little Strickland, and Hasket, Westmorland. They had three sons, Robert, Knt., Thomas, Knt., and John, Esq., and three daughters, Ellen,
    Isabel, and Agnes. In 1401 her parents settled the reversion of the manor
    of Brearley (in Halifax), Yorkshire on Margaret and her male heirs. He was
    a standard bearer at the Battle of Agincourt in 1415. He was one of the executors in 1417 will of his brother, James Harington, Knt. In 1420 he presented to the church of Badsworth, Yorkshire. In 1423 he was granted an annuity of -u100 by Queen Katherine of France, widow of King Henry V of
    France. His wife, Margaret, was co-heiress in 1424 to her niece, Margaret Neville, wife of Thomas Beaufort, Duke of Exeter, by which she inherited
    Hornby Castle, Lancashire, and the manors of Aintree, Lancashire and
    Brearley (in Halifax), Yorkshire. In 1426 he and Henry Marchall, clerk,
    were summoned to reply to Robert Willoughby, Knt., of Rerisby, and two
    others in a plea that they should permit them to present a suitable rector
    to the church of Badsworth, Yorkshire, then in their gift and vacant. He
    was appointed one of the executors of the 1434/5 will of his nephew, Thomas Tunstall, Knt. In 1436 the Abbot of Whalley bound himself to pay 40 marks
    to Margaret, wife of William Harington, Knt., and her sons, Robert, Knt., Thomas, Esq., and John, Esq. SIR WILLIAM HARINGTON died testate 15 Feb. 1439/40. His widow, Margaret, served as one of the executors of her
    husband's will. She presented to the church of Badsworth, Yorkshire in
    1448. She died in 1450.

    the Duke of Gloucester, and probably took part in the Battle of Agincourt.
    In the next campaign in France in 1417, he attended his brother, John Harington, Knt. He was heir in 1418 to his older brother, John Harington,
    Knt., 4th Lord Harington. He fought at the Sieges of Rouen, 1418-19, Melun, 1420, and Meaux, 1421-2. He was summoned to Parliament from 26 Feb. 1420/1

    Pleas regarding a debt of -u22. In 1430, as "William Haryngton knight", he
    sued Alexander Perys, of Truccokkeshull, Somerset, husbandman in the Court
    of Common Pleas regarding a debt. In 1431 he made an agreement with the
    Abbot of Furness concerning the bounds between Leese and Dalton. In 1433 he obtained leave for a passageway from his castle of Gleaston to Barray
    across the abbey's land. In 1438 he and his wife, Margaret, obtained a
    papal dispensation to choose a confessor. In 1440 he sued Henry Percy, Earl
    of Northumberland, and two others for the next presentation of the church
    of Waddingham, Lincolnshire. In 1441 he and his unnamed wife were granted a plenary indulgence in mortis articulo. SIR WILLIAM HARINGTON, 5th Lord Harington, died 3 (or 10) March 1457/8. He left a will dated 21 May 1457.
    His wife, Margaret, predeceased him, and was buried at Conishead Priory, Lancashire.

    Terry is correct that Sir William Harington, of Hornby, Lancashire did not >>> die in 1415 as you suppose, but died in 1440. He is thought to be the Sir >>> William Harington who was a standard bearer at the Battle of Agincourt in >>> 1415.

    However, his cousin, Sir William Harington (died 1458), of Aldingham,
    Lancashire, is known to have crossed to France in 1415 in the train of the >>> Duke of Gloucester, and it is thought that he probably took part in the
    Battle of Agincourt.

    As such, it is possible that both men were at the Battle of Agincourt. If >>> there was only one Sir William Harington at Agincourt, my guess would be >>> that it was the Aldingham man, as he was quite active in military service >>> in France after 1415.

    Thank you Peter. I believe this source muddied the waters a little.
    Although the line was valid, the descent was severed since John was the son
    and heir by Joan not Margaret according to this source. Interestingly
    enough, the 1567 visitation places John as the only son of Margaret
    Harrington. Nearly all other sources have as well.

    I wonder now who John HaringtonrCOs mother really was. Is this a trustworthy source or should I pay more attention to the record created by the Flowers Visitation. Your suggestion?

    History of Blackburn p438 also attributed Margaret Harington as the mother
    of John the heir. In the visitation mentioned above, there were two sons attributed to Margaret Harington and Richard Bradhull aka Braddyll. They
    were John (heir) and William, a clerk

    There were a few additions I had to make to my database, based on
    reviewing all of this content.

    However one interesting point, is that all of these Harrington/Neville children actually have a closest royal descent from Foulques (Fulk) V,
    Count of Anjou 1109-1129, King of /Jerusalem/ 1131-1144; GHMPW*

    They are 11 generations down from him

    I also have a question as to which Richard Molyneux of Sefton, this
    youngest daughter Ellen is supposed have married

    Was she a second wife to Richard II /Molyneux/ , Knt born 3 Oct 1396,
    living in 1450 ?

    Or was she a first wife to Richard III Molyneux, Lord /Molyneux/ of
    Sefton born in 1423, died 1459 ?

    215 gives DugdalerCOs Visitation of Lancashire 1664-5 the credit for stating the wife as Jone instead of Margaret, the mother of John and William.

    AT THIS POINT, I AM EVEN MORE CONFUSED. PLEASE HELP!


    Actually what is says is "his wife was Margaret, Dugdale has Jane"

    Same as what we had before.
    The simplest solution is that this man had two wives.
    It was known that he married a Margaret, but when he died he left a
    widow Jane.

    She was Isabel. The family would not have named two daughters Margaret. The author lists the daughters as Margaret, Ellen, Agnes and Margaret.

    I have never studied this family, but just in terms of common practice I
    am aware of several families from this period that used the same name
    for two siblings. As such, a conclusion that they "would not have named
    two daughters Margaret" is not as strong as it might seem.

    TAF,

    Thank you for replying. That assumption was made after looking at other research such as Royal Ancestry where the daughters were explicitly named
    sans Margaret. They were Agnes, Ellen, Isabel. Douglas Richardson states
    the husbands of each as well, in the Royal Ancestry citation above. You certainly make a very fair point about jumping to conclusions prematurely though.

    IrCOm on pretty solid ground on my original question about MargaretrCOs parentage. Several different sources seem to point to the fourth daughter Margaret being the daughter of William Harington, KG of Farleton and later Hornby and Margaret Neville.

    The only other question still lingering is concerning whether Margaret Harington Braddyll was the mother of Richard BraddyllrCOs two sons, John the heir and William a clerk.

    So far, I am leaning towards discounting DugdalerCOs much later visitation of 1664-5 where he asserts Johanna 2nd dau of rCa.. was the mother of both.
    There were a couple of derivative works that came from that pedigree as
    well. FlowerrCOs Visitation of 1567 points to Margaret Harington Braddyll. Please correct me if I am wrong, but generally if two sources conflict, shouldnrCOt more weight be given to the source made closer to the lifetime of the event?

    I am searching for property, wills, marriage records, etc to support or
    refute this hypothesis. If anyone can point me to some sources, I would appreciate it. I am still learning about good sources for this era of genealogy.

    I have been relying on Douglas Richardson, Gary Boyd Roberts, Histories,
    Google searches and the various resources found on this site https://sites.google.com/site/cochoit/medieval-genealogy-resources/

    IrCOm sure there are others out there that others in this group can direct me to.

    There is no substitute for checking primary sources when possible -
    relying on secondary literature, some of which in turn relies only on secondary sources, can lead to compounded misunderstanding and misinterpretation.

    For the specific point about Joan or Margaret as mother of Richard
    Braddyll's sons, Farrer in VCH Lancaster (as linked upthread) provided
    several references from the Towneley manuscripts, C 8, 13, B 128-30;
    Add. MS. 32104, no. 918. These may be contemporary sources, probably enlightening and likely to be more useful than printed material listed
    in unspecific "welter" citations by Douglas Richardson and others -
    often just the unsourced opinions of 18th and 19th century antiquarians,
    whose methodology can be opaque and accuracy erratic.

    The Towneley manuscripts are mostly in the British Library, some in the Bodleian at Oxford, and many of them in copies (made by Farrer himself)
    in Manchester. I doubt that anyone has discussed these particular
    references in print before. Tracing any interest (or lack thereof) that Braddyll descendants may have had in Harington/Nevill estates could also
    shed light on the question.

    Peter,

    The information you have shared has been very helpful. Now that you are
    letting me know that the VCH source is pretty solid helps me further
    evaluate the data. IrCOm still searching for the estate data on Hornby (Neville/Harington) and Farleton (Braddyll). Short of that I am going to
    accept the mother as Joan/Johanna and continue searching for other
    ancestors on the line. I find the challenge oddly satisfying and I very
    much appreciate the help that you and Will have given me. IrCOm a KY LEO and
    a licensed private investigator (agency owner) so if I can ever assist you
    on a more modern matter, please feel free to contact me.
