"Ermengarde" made many contibutions to the Notes & Queries journal.
I've read a variety of her posts.  For her time, she was quite good.
If she said Harleian MS. 807 confirmed that Margaret Neville, the wife
of Sir William Lucy, was the daughter of Sir John Neville and his
wife, Elizabeth Holand, I think you can accept the fact that it
does.   And, as I've stated already, I have independently established
that Sir John Neville and his wife, Elizabeth, had a daughter,
Margaret, who was living in 1423.  Ermengarde was evidently not aware
of this evidence.  Next thing taf will say is that I haven't found
Margaret Neville's  birth certificate.  Right.

In any event, taf hasn't asked the pertinent question yet.  What is
Harleian MS. 807?  Anyone have a clue?
