Her first husband was John de Blackburn, by whom she had a daughter Alicia (who married Robert de Sherburne).
At some time after 1304, she married Sir Adam Banastre.

=== Sir Adam Banastre [married] Margaret de ===
Sir Adam Banastre [married] Margaret de Holand, sister of Sir Robert de Holand of Upholland, co. Lancaster, and widow of Sir John Blackburn. [Ancestral Roots, line 34-32]
Note: I originally had Margaret as daughter of Robert de Holand & Elizabeth Salmesbury, being sister of Robert 1st Lord Holand of Upholland. However I now have her as sister of the Robert who married Elizabeth Salmesbury, and daughter of
Thurstan de Holand. She could still be an early child of Robert de Holand, or a late child of Thurstan, but I am now leaning to Thurstan. Note that the "The Lancashire Hollands" below indicates she is daughter of Thurstan.
----------------------
The following was researched by Douglas Hickling, [dhhic@comcast.net]
Now, I continue with VCH Lancaster v. 5. At pp. 245-246, the article says that : "Shortly after 1287, but by what title is unknown, the manor [of Bolton] was held by Margaret, sister of Sir Robert de Holland, and on her death divided among her
four daughters and heirs. [footnote deleted] The eldest, Alice, married Sir Robert de Shireburne, and the fourth part assigned to her descended with the Shireburne estates. [footnote deleted]
The foregoing information is more or less repeated in VCH Lancaster v.6. At p. 131, the article notes that Henry de Lacy, Earl of Lincoln, gave the manors of Chorley and Bolton to Robert de Hepwall and Margaret [de Holland] in consideration of
Robert's praiseworthy services. Margaret was either the intended recipient of these manors or later acquired them. "She was sister of Robert de Holland, and thrice married. By her first husband, Sir John de Blackburn of Wiswell, she had three
daughters; by her second, the above-named Robert de Hepwall, who died in 1304, he had a son John, who probably died young. The third husband was the Adam Banastre executed in 1315; by Hepwall or Banastre she had another daughter. [citations
deleted throughout]
VCH Lancaster v. 7 may show a primary source showing the marriage between Sir John Tempest and Katherine Sherburne. At p. 2, the article begins the history of Aighton in Mitton. On p. 2, the article says that Margaret Haphale, afterward
Banastre, gained control of Aighton. "After Margaret's death her manors were divided among her daughters--Alice wife of Robert de Shireburne," and the others being named. Beginning at p.3, the article describes the subsequent involvement of the
Sherburnes:
- - - -
And in a later clarifying the 1287 date above:
I really do not think that we can date Margaret de Holand's marriage to John Blackburn back to around 1280. VCH Lancaster 6:131 says that Henry de Lacy granted Chorley and Bolton to Margaret and her then husband Robert de Hepwall after he
acquired them from Richard de Lothburgh who did not himself obtain these manors from William de Ferrers until 1297, not 1287. Since Margaret had had only one son and possibly a daughter from this husband by the time he died in 1304, it is
likely that she and Hepwall were not married until 1297 or so. Although the earlier volume VCH Lancaster 5:245 refers to Margaret having "shortly after 1287, by what title is unknown, the manor" of Bolton, this appears to be an editing error
corrected in volume 6, as William de Ferrers still owned Chorley and Bolton as late as 1297. If Margaret had married Sir John de Blackburn before 1290, she would probably have been survived by more than three children upon her first husband's
death. It still seems to me that Margaret's birth year was still around 1270, the same date that CP proposes for the lst Lord de Holand. It is rather chastening to realize how such a simple editing error, if that it be, can create havoc in
establishing family lines.

And later on Douglas Hickling found:
THE LANCASHIRE HOLLANDS, by Bernard H. Holland, turned out not to be a scholarly work and with very few citations. I noted that there was a section on sources at the end of the book and it had entries like "Visitation Pedigrees of the Holland
Family" without any indication as to where these pedigrees might be found. As is so often the case, the book generally omits daughters. I did notice that Margaret de Holand who married Sir John Blackburn and Sir Adam Banestre, was a sister of
the Sir Robert de Holand who married Elizabeth Samlesbury while I think it generally agreed that that Margaret de Holand was a daughter of Sir Robert and Elizabeth.
