It seems likely Margaret Goldwell (d.1499) and her husband, John Goldwell in this brass, parents of Geoffrey Goldwell, were the grandparents of Margaret Goldwell, wife of Sir John Fogge (d.1533) of Repton, Marshall of Calais, and mother of Sir John Fogge (d.1564). See the will, PROB 11/47/303, of Sir John Fogge (d.1564), and the citations therein, on the Documents page on my website at:
