Talk:Lady Margaret Hoby

Linton
I have my doubts about the dab that has been applied to "Linton, East Yorkshire" of Linton, West Yorkshire as that appears to be far too west for it to have been in the East Riding. May be Linton-on-Ouse is more appropriate. Has anyone got any references that give better indication of the actual place meant here? Keith D (talk) 19:46, 24 September 2011 (UTC)

Yes, sorry, clearly a mistake. I have my suspicions of Kilpin near Goole, which has two farmhouses called Linton, but that's not evidence, of course, and may be the name of a family that owned them. Linton-on-Swale is in North Yorkshire. Unless the modern district boundaries don't follow those of the old Ridings... Bmcln1 (talk) 19:44, 27 September 2011 (UTC)
 * The new county boundaries do not follow the old ridings - for the East Riding change see map here that illustrates changes. Keith D (talk) 22:24, 27 September 2011 (UTC)

Oldest diary written by a woman
According to William Matthews in his book ' British Diaries: an annotated bibliography of British diaries written between 1442 and 1942', he lists diaries written by Lady Grace Mildmay as starting in 1570, which would mean Lady Hoby's diaries, whilst certainly extremely old, would not be the oldest. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 158.143.193.43 (talk) 13:11, 21 May 2013 (UTC)

wrong article name
This article should be moved to "Margaret, Lady Hoby." "Lady Firstname" is a style for daughters of earls, marquesses, and dukes. Her father was not a nobeleman. Her style was "Lady Hoby" as the wife of a knight. Laura1822 (talk) 21:51, 13 May 2016 (UTC)
