Hi Alex

Sorry for the late reply but I have only just returned from holiday.

My descent from Sir Edmund HUNGERFORD and Margaret BURNELL is through their
son Sir Thomas HUNGERFORD who married Christian HALL(E). Thomas would have
been the sibling of your ancestor Margaret. I have found out some
information about the various families by searching on the internet but this
is mainly limited to possible birth dates and marriages. This link mentions
your ancestors but I know that some of these sites cannot be relied upon:
http://www.tudorplace.com.ar/HUNGERFORD.htm#Margaret%20HUNGERFORD2 Only the
son John FERRERs is mentioned here.

It's also worth looking at:
http://www.stirnet.com/HTML/genie/british/hh4bz/hungerford01.htm. Note that
many sites like this mention a Philippa de la POLE as being married to Sir
Hugh BURNELL but no such Philippa has been proved to exist and to have
married Sir Hugh BURNELL. See
http://www.medievalgenealogy.org.uk/cp/burnell.shtml

If you go back through the archives on this list you will find more
information on the HUNGERFORDs and BURNELLs. I hope this helps a bit.

Best wishes from Carol
