Sir Robert de Haverington, Knight

As this profile suggested that Robert's mother was also the mother of his wife I have changed the profile to reflect that in Burke's Peerage 2003 volume 2, page 1789. Which is also summarised at http://www.thepeerage.com/p43184.htm#c431831.1 which, though incomplete, seems a safer starting point from where we can consider the obviously extensive research that has gone into http://www.tudorplace.com.ar/HARRINGTON.htm#Thomas De HAVERINGTON1 and investigate other leads from there.

A good start is to try and resolve the confusion that is created by the reference that Robert was born in Flemingby, England as there is no such place. There was, however, a Manor Flemingby, Cumberland which was named Flemingby because it was associated withe the le Fleming (or le Flanderensis) family The fascinating history of this area is covered extensively at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muchland#The_Lost_Villages_of_Muchland, a link that appears to be a rich source of further information about the Harrington/de Haverington family line.
