See Will of Sir William Thorpe 8 Apr 1391 https://archive.org/details/earlylincolnwil00gibbgoog/page/n91/mode/2up?q=tilney
He refers to "John Tylney", who I posit is his father-in-law.
There was at that time a John Tilney who was referred to as "Quaplode" or "Whaplode" and had at least 2 daughters, co-heiresses, variously named Maud (or in other sources Isabel) and Alice, each marrying well. He and his daughters' (first?) husbands are named here: https://www.british-history.ac.uk/topographical-hist-norfolk/vol9/pp72-84
He held Chervile's Manor during the reign of Edward III or about 1312-1377. Based on time periods of the husbands of the daughters having lived, his daughters were probably born roughly in the middle of this time period, making them eligible in age for marrying William Thorpe.
Accordingly, it seems Margaret Quaplode is likely to be a daughter of John Tilney dit Quaplode (not John Quaplode as shown here), either missed in the list of daughters or a remarriage of Maud or Alice. Women's first names were often bungled by the record keepers as we know.
An executor of William Thorpe's will is another Tilney, Sir Philip. Sir Philip was the 3rd son of Sir Frederic Tilney and died about 1394. One of his brothers is noted to have been named Frederic, after their father. See https://www.historyofparliamentonline.org/volume/1386-1421/member/tilney-sir-philip-1394 See https://www.british-history.ac.uk/topographical-hist-norfolk/vol9/pp72-84
Sir Philip Tilney would have been John's relative. Was he John's brother, making John the other son of Frederic? A cited source says his father was Thomas - if that is accurate, his father could have been the Uncle of Sir Philip making John and Sir Philip cousins.
In any event, Margaret appears to have belonged to "an ancient and distinguished family which settled in East Anglia at the time of the Norman Conquest" as per the History of Parliament.
