REMEMBER: In North America, the month of September 1752 was exceptionally short, skipping 11 days, when the Gregorian Calendar was adapted from the old Julian one, which didn't have leap year days.

More Weston Rugeley ancestors

Lady Margaret Mitford Weston (1425-1475) was the child of John De Mitford (April 8, 1402- May 6, 1457.) He was born in Mitford, Northumberland, England, and died in Chillingham, Northumberland, England.

 Her mother was Constance Ogle of Northumberland (Apri 18, 1402-Oct 4, 1460)  She was born in Ogle Castle, Northumberland, England, and died in Kirkby, Northumberland (or perhaps in Chillingham, Northumberland.)

Ogle Coat of Arms

Their marriage is cited in a lot of histories of the period, though it has different dates ascribed to it; 1421, 1424, and 1427 are all listed in various publications.  Her children did not include a John Weston...honestly I'm rolling my eyes...she was a Mitford.  So John Mitford was definitely her son.  I've had to remove John Weston from her family, and delete the duplicate Bernard Mitford.  But Margaret was definitely there (to marry into the Weston family.)

Her parents were (my15th great grandparents):

Sir Robert Ogle

BIRTH 21 MAY 1379  Ogle Castle, Northumberland, England (or 1370 or 1372)

DEATH 12 AUG 1435  Bothal, Northumberland


and

Maude de Grey Ogle

BIRTH 1382  Wark, Northumberland, England

DEATH 21 AUG 1451  Bothal Redesdale, Northumberland


These15th grandparents married in 1399. They are buried in Hexham, Northumberland, England.


And Sir Robert's father was  

Robert Ogle I


BIRTH 1351  Whalton, Northumberland Unitary Authority, Northumberland, England

DEATH 31 OCTOBER 1410  Hexham, Northumberland Unitary Authority, Northumberland,


He is my 16th great grandfather.  His wife is unknown.

Maude's mother was 

Jane De Mowbray Grey

BIRTH 1360  England

DEATH England


Her father was

Sir Thomas Grey of Hetton


BIRTH Heton (Northumberland) England

DEATH 26 NOVEMBER 1400


And thus I have 3 of the 16th great grandparents names, some of their dates, and some of their places.  No more on this line until I go back to more modern times and start tracing backwards again!
