      Biography from wikitree:
      Margaret was born in 1507. Margaret Capel ... [1]

      She is noted as a daughter of Sir Giles Capell of London

      The following authorities are given for the Ward Chart, which goes back to Osbert de Varde, 1130: Burton's "Monasticon," pp. 139-166; Whittaker's "Leeds" ; Dugdale's "Monasticon," Vol. V, P 139 ; Tanner's "Notitia."

      In 1130 there were three brothers de Varde: Simon, Godewin and Osbert of Givendale, Yorkshire. Osbert had two sons, Richard and William de Varde of Givendale Living, 1150. William de Varde had son, Simon de Varde, who married Maude _____. Simon de Varde founded Escholst Priory the end of the Twelfth Century; he had two sons, John de Varde of Scotton and William de Varde of Givendale. William de Varde had sons: William of Capes and Simon (made Sir Simon 1260, by Henry III). Sir Simon had son, Sir Simon, knight and baronet, "A great Baron against the Scots;" and Sir Simon the second had two sons, Sir John, 1350, and Simon, "the Simon de Varde who married Margaret, a daughter of the House of Mortimer, Lords of Attilbury, County Norfolk, and ancestors of the Lords of Norfolk." Simon and Margaret de Varde's son John married Elena de Boost or de Bois; their son, John, 2d, married Katherine Applegard. Robert de Varde, son of John and Katherine Applegard de Varde, married Alice Kemp, had a son, Robert Warde, 2d, who married a Copperdick ; and their son, Robert Warde, 3d, married a daughter of Sir Giles Capel of London, ancestor of the Earls of Essex, and had three sons, Henry Warde of Kirby-Bedon, Jeffrey of Broke, and Thomas Warde of Homersfield, who married _____Hare, daughter of John Hare, D.C.L., of Homersfield, Norfolk.

      From Archaeologia Cambrensis [1]: "There was in the county of Norfolk an ancient family named Ward, of which Simon Ward Warde-102 had leave with others 20th June 1391 to perform certain exploits in arms in Scotland. He married Margaret Mortimer Mortimer-809 , whose arms are given as or, semee de lis sa., but she is said to be of the distinguished family of that name. Their son John married the daughter and heir of John de Bosco (or De Bois) of Kirbybedon. Ermine a cross sa., in whose right he became possessed of that estate. Their son John (whose will was proved 27th October 1445) married Katherine, daughter of William Appleyard of Brason Ash and Dunston, az. a chevron between three owls argt. Their son Robert married Alice Kemp of Gissing, and had a son Robert, who, marrying a daughter of John Coppledeck, argt. a chevron between three crosslets fitche gules, had issue Robert Ward Warde-148 of Kirby, who married Margaret Capell-36, daughter of Sir Giles Capel Capell-153 of Essex, son of William Capel Capell-155 by Margaret, daughter of Sir Thomas Arundell of Lanherne, co. Cornwall. Morant, in his History of Essex, says Sir Giles of Rayne Hall married, firstly, Margaret, daughter of Sir Richard Roos Ros-181, younger son of William Ros-9, Lord Roos of Belvoir, by whom he had issue Henry Capel, and secondly, Isabel (*), daughter of Sir John Newton of Wake..

      We have a more detailed statement of the descent of Isabel, wife of Sir Giles Capel, iu Harleian MS. 1041, where she is recorded as the second daughter and coheir of Thomas Cradoc or Newton Newton-252 by his second wife, Elianor Arundel-12, daughter of Lord Daubeney (d'Aubeney/Aubigny). The father of Thomas was Sir John ; and his mother, Isabel, daughter and heir of Sir John Cliddari, Knight; Sir John being son of Sir Richard by Emma, daughter of Thomas Perrott of Haroldstone, son of John by Margaret, daughter of Howel Moythe, son of John Cradoc of co. Somerset, by whom he had Margaret, wife of William Ward of Brooks, Esq. Bloomfield, in his History of Norfolk, etc., calls him Robert Ward, as above.
      The arms of Capel are gules a lion rampant argt. between three crosslets fitche- or. The Visitation of Essex of 1612, under the head of Capel, says Sir Giles Capell of Hadham, co. Hertford, Knt., son and heir lyeth buried by his father (i.e., in St. Bartholomew's Church, by the Exchange). He married daughter and co-heir of Sir John Newton alias Craddock, Knt., and had issue Sir Edward, ancestor of Lord Essex, and Margaret, married to Robert Warde of Brooke, alias Kirkby, in co. Norfolk, gent. (argent, on a chevron azure three garbs or). Robert Ward and Margaret Capell his wife had issue, Henry Ward of Postwick, M.P. for Norwich in 1553, who by his wife Margaret, daughter of William Ugges of Pokelthorpe, near Norwich, had issue, Edward Ward, who built Bixley Hall, the future seat of the family, and died in 1583, having married Anne, daughter of John Havers of Winfarthing. On their tomb at Bixley, co. Norfolk, is the following inscription in black letter,-

      "In fatall Tombe a Squire here lyes, enshryned by Death, One Edwarde Warde, who lefte of twelve, ten children deare, With Anne his lovinge wife, on Maye day past his Breathe And Soule to God by Christ, though senceless corpes lye heare. "Obiit 1583, Stat. 41."

      The arms of Ward are cheeky or and azure, a bend ermine. Blomfield tells us that Bixley Hall, long the seat of the Wards, was built in 1565 by Sir (?) Edward, the first of the family who settled there. Of his numerous issue, William, the sixth son, was put apprentice, and became a wealthy goldsmith in London. Mr. Ward Newton, by Nest, daughter of Sir Peter Russell, Knight, son of Robert by Margery, daughter of Sir Nicholas Sherbowell, Knight, of Mangle (erm., three lozenges sa.), son of John by Joane, daughter of Elidr Ddy, son of William, son of Sir Wilcock of Newton, son of Cradog, son of Howel, by Gwenllian Gethin, daughter of Lord Rhys-grych, son of Gronwy ab Rytherch ab Criadog ab Iestyn ab Owen ab Howel Ddha...."
