The will of Margery's 2nd husband, John Chamber, 26 Dec 1559, proved 13 Jan 1560, identifies "his wives daughter," Margery Jervys (Archdeaconry Court of Suffolk, reg wills, 20:201 [FHL #096921]). This dau later married a Garter, according to Margery's own will, below.
      MAR #2: No mar rec found. The will of Margery Chamber, below, suggests that she is the sister of Isabel Connold, a proved dau of Roger Godbold, as she gave to the children of Henry Connold, a son of Isabel. Furthermore, Nicholas Godbold, son of Roger Godbold, witnessed the will. The will of John Chamber, above, shows that he is the husband of Margery. Among the witnesses to this will was Thomas Lister, the 2nd husband of Margery's sister Isabel.
