I have placed Margerye (also spelled Marjory, Marjori) as a daughter of Thomas Bench (the elder), since her husband Richard Nicoll(s) and Marjori were named in the 1565 will of her father, Thomas Bench (the elder). For this info, see the will of Thomas Bench (the elder), which can be found under his Forum topic area.
Lillington parish records list Richard Nicoll(s) and Margerye Bench as married on 3 November 1546. I have placed her birth year as an estimate of circa 1525, based on when she was married.
Richard Nicoll(s) died in 1573, and Margerye Bench re-married to a Robert Creese on 27 January 1574 in Lillington. She was listed as a widow on the marriage record.
