Margaret Kerdeston (Brown) - Her parents

Anne Hastings origins seem controversial. She’s not listed as daughter of Margaret Hastings & Sir Hugh Hastings, II, Kt. by Douglas Richardson, although there seems a caveat she was definitely a granddaughter of Adam II, 2nd Baron Everingham

So we should check a bit more on her parents, but that Anne Hastings married William Brown and was the mother of Margaret Brown who married Sir Leonard Kerdeston seems solidly sourced.

Did you want to add the parent profiles?

Sir Anthony Browne, Knight of the Bath Does not seem to have record of a son William.

OK, but do not add the parents to parents. It’s too speculative.

My favorite site for nobility is genealogics.org, and Leo van de Pas has:

REMARKS:
may be g.dau of Sir Hugh Hastings & Margaret de Everingham

I’m guessing Douglas Richardson has worked on this line and there’s uncertainty. I’ll look at soc.Gen.,medieval

Basic members can edit, it could be because you are not yet connected to the world tree. I just sent you a collaboration request; I manage a fair amount of medieval profiles. Give it a try after you accept collaborator and see if that helps. If not, I’ll enter and add you as a manager.

I’m reading a de Kerdeston article.

No. Which Anthony Brown? The one (KB) did not have a son William according to Visitations. The one (son of Viscount Montagu) is much later. So, we do not have a good reference for the existence of William Brown, much less his parentage.

Richardson, Douglas. Magna Carta Ancestry: A Study in Colonial and Medieval Families, 2nd Edition (2011) Page 370. < GoogleBooks > "Margaret, grand daughter of Hugh de Hastings, Knt."

Perhaps her surname wasn't Hastings?

The line for that is described in Paget, Gerald, The Lineage and Ancestry of H.R.H. Prince Charles, Prince of Wales, Edinburgh, 1977. Q 4478

Needs more research to connect more precisely than we have now. I added the Douglas Richardson page as a source document:

He does not even give Margaret a surname, which implies he did not rule out she was a daughter of a daughter of Hugh Hastings.

And as I said, the William Brown (2nd son of Anthony Brown) citation is cracked, or I don't understand it correctly. So will try to chase those citations.

Mortimer doesn't give her parentage but Cawley does:

8. [JEANNE de Lezay . Watson names "Jane de Lezay" as wife of Geoffrey without citing the corresponding primary source on which the information is based, although suggesting that she was the daughter of Simon [IV] Seigneur de Lezay by his second wife, highlighting that her son Jean de Mortemer was recorded in 1379 as guardian of Simon de Lezay, great-grandson of Simon [IV][271]. This last piece of information is found in Père Anselme, who cites no source either (see above)[272]. m GEOFFREY Mortimer, son of ROGER [V] de Mortimer Earl of March & his wife Joan de Geneville (-[1372/5 May 1376]).]

Added her to her parents, Simon V, seigneur de Lezay & Jeanne de Cherchemont

Watson (1902) is the source at FMG. Hard to read, he names her Jeanne Lezay.
