While Complete Peerage does claim in its Berkeley and Somery accounts that Margaret, wife of Ralph de Somery, was the sister of William Marshal (died 1219), Earl of Pembroke, I've always found that claim rather doubtful. Indeed the editor's comments in both the Berkeley and Somery accounts suggest that the identification of Margaret de Somery as the earl's sister is not at all certain.
