From Complete Peerage of England Col 3 Cokayne 1890, p. 65:

II. 1139. 2. ROBERT (FERRERS), EABL OF DERBY, … he styled himself “Robertus Comes junior de Ferrariis”... He is said by some[g] to have m. Margaret, da. and h. of William Peverel...

Footnote [g]: By (inter alios) Mr. James Doyle in his “Official Baronage” and if any Earl (Ferrers), of Dreby, is to be credited with such a wife (and this wife has been attributed to several), this Earl is as likely to have been her husband, as any. It is, however, far more probable that his Margaret Peverl never had any existence, and that the Peverel estates came to the Ferrers family thro' the match of the 5th Earl with Afnes, sister and coheir of Randolp, Earl of Chester, grandson of Randolph, Earl of Chester, the grantee thereof.
