      "WILLIAM de Mowbray, son of NELE de Mowbray & his wife Mabel --- (-Axholme before 25 Mar 1224, bur Neufbourg). 

      m AVICE, daughter of ---. The primary source which confirms her marriage has not yet been identified. A manuscript record of the Mowbray family (many of the details in which relating to the early generations of the family are inconsistent with other sources) states that the wife of "Willihelmus…primogenitus et hæres Nigelli de Molbray" married "[filiam] comitis de Arundel…Agnetem" who was mother of his two sons. If this is correct, she would have been Agnes, daughter of William 2nd Earl of Arundel & his wife Matilda de Saint-Hilaire, but the identification of this person has not yet been corroborated from other sources.

      William & his wife had two children: 

      1. NELE [Nigel] de Mowbray (-Nantes 1230, bur Neufbourg). 
      2. ROGER de Mowbray (-[Axholme] [Nov 1266], bur [Pontefract, Friars Church]). ..."
