Family notes:
·
Proposed by other genealogists: Margery born in
England, d/o 60845536. Baron Hugh Bardolf & 60845537. Isabel de Aguillon.
This would make Margery the half-sister of Michael. In addition, Margery would
have to be born after 1281, which is not a good fit with the time line.
Children of Michael and Margery:
i. Thomas de Poynings
(1249348), born ~1298 in England.
ii. Hawise de
Poynings, born ? in England.
Hawise married John de Reydon.
