Hi all,
Complete Peerage, vol. 4, 67: Sub. Darcy, says that Margery, daughter and co-heir of Sir Philip Darcy, married Sir John Conyers of Hornby, Yorkshire and that she died between 20 March 1469 and 20 April 1469.
I am not sure what to make of these records which show that she was living as late as September 1488:
10 September 1483, Institution of Cuthbert Lightfote, chaplain, to the rectory of Rudby, vacant by the death of Christopher Conyers; presented by John Conyers, knight, and Margery his wife, daughter and co-heiress of Philip Lord Darcy and de Menell.

Richard Strangways, knt. Writ 26 April, 3 Hen. VII [1488]; inq. the last day but one of September, 4 Hen. VII [1488]. By letters patent, 1 Aug., 15 Edw. III, the King gave to John Darcy 'le fitz' an annuity of £40, payable half yearly at the Exchequer. It descended to Elizabeth wife of James Strangways, knight, mother of the said Richard, and Margery the wife of John Conyers, knight, her sister, who survives, as daughters and co-heirs of Philip, son and heir of John, son and heir of Philip, brother and heir of the said John Darcy. He died 13 April last. James Strangways, knt., aged 28 and more, is his son and heir.
