Margaret (d. 1 Sept. 1489), da. and h. of John Coker of West Bower, Although a bill of complaint in the Luttrell archive (H.C. Maxwell-Lyte, Hist. Dunster and Fams. Mohun and Luttrell, 120) describes Thomas Bratton as Alexander Hody’s father-in-law, Margaret’s parentage is confirmed by CIPM Hen. VII, i. 652. There is no other evidence of an earlier marriage to a Bratton. s.p. Kntd. Wakefield 30 Dec. 1460. W.A. Shaw, Knights of Eng. ii. 13.
