Did @Margaret Sackville (WAKEHURST) really die at around 126 years of age?

I doubt that very much. I am doing a google search and I find many references for Margaret, but none have a death date so far. Her husband, Edward Sackville, died in 1459. If she died the same year, she would have been 76, which was not uncommon in her generation, for a woman of wealth. If I find more info, I'll let you know.

Faith,
I think I see how the improper death date was entered for Margaret. There is also an incorrect husband. "The Weald," my source for this area and this time in England, does not list a second husband for Margaret. This husband, Richard Colepepper, also married a Margaret Wakehurst, but of a different generation.

As a curator, I will see what I can do to clean up the profile. I am also putting a link to her pedigree on her profile for reference.

Thank you for alerting us to this issue. We'll get ole Margaret buried in the proper century.

Happy ancestor hunting,
Maria

:D Thanks so much, Maria! I was thinking that would be incredibly unlikely. How nice of you to bury her in the right century and get her married to the right person. :D

Happy to help!
