Family notes:
·
The records favor Margaret not being the d/o
William Ludlowe of Salisbury (d.1478). The various pedigrees appear to mix the
records of at least 2 other persons of the name “William Ludlowe” contemporay
with this William, 1 in Shropshire, and another in the King’s service. [They
cannot be in Shropshire, Wiltshire, and France all at the same time.]
Child of William
and ?:
i. Margaret Ludlow (475269), born ~1425 in England.
Margaret 1st
married ‘John Erley’ of Ludgershall, Wiltshire.
