Margery Markham

Also seen as daughter of John Langford

Margery Langford, daughter of Ralph Longford and Isabel Ferrers, died 1532 in Hawton, near Cotham, Nottinghamshire.

Margery appears to have been the youngest daughter, as she was not yet married in 1511. Sir Ralph made provision for her in his will to have 10 marks a year while she remained unmarried and 400 marks (£266 13s 4d) towards her marriage. She was to marry William Trafford, younger son of Sir Edmund Trafford, and brother of Edmund and Margery (her brother-in law and sister-in-law), becoming the progenitors of the Traffords of Swithamley and Oughtrington. She survived her husband, William (who was still living in 1540 when he acted as overseer of the will of his sister Margery), and married secondly Sir John Markham of Cotham (d.1559) as his second wife (Bindoff, 1982, p.568).
