Married to Roger d'Ivry. According to Cawley, Roger Seigneur d'Ivry was Pincerna of William I King of England. He founded the abbey of Ivry-la-Balluis[886]. He held Cottisford from his father-in-law in 1086 in Domesday Book[887].] m ADELINA de Grantmesnil, daughter of HUGUES de Grantmesnil & his wife Adelisa [Aelis] de Beaumont-sur-Oise (-[1110/11]). She is named, and her parentage given, by Orderic Vitalis, who also names her husband[888]. She died soon after making grants to Abingdon Abbey in [1110/11][889].

Roger & his wife had one child: i) ADELISIA d'Ivry (-[1133/35]). Daughter and heiress of Roger d'Ivry and Adelina de Grantmesnil, she is named in her mother's grants to Abingdon Abbey in [1110/11]. She is last mentioned in association with a grant of land at Rowington, Warwickshire to Reading Abbey, confirmed by King Henry I in 1133[890].

Charles Cawley, his Medieval Lands database on FMG, does not name her as the wife of Roger Bigod but indicates that he likely had another wife (other than Adeliza de Tosny) named Adeliza, and many researchers believe that she was Adeliza de Grantmesnil.
