TCP Welles reports that, contrary to what was reported in the earlier-released TCP Clifford, Robert de Welles did not marry Maud de Clare, widow of Robert Clifford, 1st Lord.
We20=21 Adam de Welles, 3rd Lord b 22.07.1304, d 02.1344/5

BE1883 reports that Margaret was daughter of John, 3rd Lord Bardolf. TCP reports that that John Bardolf was one of Adam's son John's godparents. The dates certainly make it more likely that, as separately suggested by TCP, the 2nd Lord Bardolf was Margaret's father rather than the 3rd Lord.
