Family notes:

·         Isolda is sometimes given as d/o her brother Edmund. If she is, she would not be the d/o Margaret de Fiennes, who was born in 1260. While Edmund is old enough to be her father [if she were born a few years later], being educated as a clerk he would likely not have married that young, and likely did not get out of college until after 1270. While possible, it is not a good timeline fit.
