- "[T]he following pieces of evidence suggest that she was a daughter of Simon de Cray: (1) in the Pabenham-Clifford Book of Hours, on the same folio already referred to, are shown separately the arms of Clifford, Pabenham and another coat of arms, which is elsewhere attributed to Simon de Cray of Kent [G. J. Brault, Aspilogia III: Rolls of Arms Edward I 1272-1307, Vol. 2, p. 125] and (2) in her will, Margery de Criol mentions her nephew, Sir Gilbert Pecche and an apparently deceased sister, Joan, apparently referring to Gilbert, the son of Gilbert Pecche (d. 1291) by his second wife, Joan, daughter of Simon de Cray [Complete Peerage, vol. 10, pp. 335-337]. (Note that Margery, the wife of the younger Nicholas de Criol (d. 1303), was a half sister of the younger Gilbert Pecche, and was therefore an aunt of his son, also named Gilbert. The fact that there were two women named Margery, both widows of men named Nicholas de Criol, and both with nephews named Gilbert Pecche, has contributed to the confusion between them.)"
