A plea to those who perpetuate bad limbs on their family trees
There are many in the genealogy world who copy erroneous information to their family trees, picking the rotten limbs off other trees and passing them on and on. This blog is created in a hope of helping to end some of this. It does no one any good to pass on misinformation and blatantly fraudulent branches on your tree. Put some effort into your work and produce a tree your family can be proud of, accurate and reliable.

Magna Charta line of Manning, Oops! Not!
In the supposed Magna Charta line of Manning we fine a Margaret Brandon marrying Hugh Manning, she the daughter of William Brandon and Elizabeth Wingfield. Only thing is, she married Gregory Lovell. No Manning anywhere.
The name of Hugh Manning's wife remains uncertain, but William Brandon and Elizabeth Wingfield apparently had two daughters named Margaret. His first will dated 10 June 1475 calls them "Margaret the elder" and "Margaret the younger." (source: G Andrews Moriarty, "The Brandons," NEHGR 103:104)
