Sir William de Wychingham, son of Richard de Wichingham, was lord in the 33d of Edward III.; he was bred to the law, of which he was a serjeant, and a judge of the Common-pleas in 1363; by his will proved March 25, 1381, he was buried in the south isle of Wichingham St. Mary's church, which he had built; gives legacies to Margaret his wife, (fn. 6) to Richer, Nicholas, and William, his sons, and to William Caley and Dionysia his wife, who was his daughter.

ok ... so ... HOP is certain she married Clere. But Blomefield certainly states she married into the Cailly (Cayley) family. ... was that her first or second husband ... or a mistake?
