Margaret Dymoke was the daughter of Sir Robert Dymoke of Scrivelsby, Lincolnshire and Jane (or Anne) Sparrow. She married Sir Richard Vernon of Haddon c1507 and was the mother of George (1508-1567) and Elizabeth. When she was left a wealthy widow, Cardinal Wolsey advocated a match with Sir William Tyrwhitt, but Margaret accepted Sir William Coffyn of Porthledge, Alwington, Devon (1538).
Margaret attended Catherine of Aragon at the Field of Cloth of Gold in 1520 and was at court with her second husband, who was master of horse to both Anne Boleyn and Jane Seymour. Margaret was one of the gentlewomen sent to wait (and spy) upon Anne Boleyn in the Tower. Some accounts give the name as "Mistress Cosyns" but this is a mistake for Coffyn. In Jane Seymour's household, Margaret was a lady of the bedchamber.
In 1539, she married Sir Richard Manners (1551) of Garendon, Leicestershire, by whom she may have had a son, John. During this marriage she lived primarily at Haddon Hall..
