Emma (…), whose ancestry is unknown (or not traced here), died after 1130, when she owed money on estates which had belonged to her husband in Yorkshire.1
Emma married Herbert of Winchester, whose ancestry is unknown (or not traced here).1
At one time, based on an uncited 14th century source, she was thought to be an illigitimate daughter of Stephen of Blois, and half-sister to Stephen, King of England. However, recent research indicates she is more likely to be the daughter of Hunger fitz Odin, and grandaughter of Odin Camerarius, both named in Domesday. Wikipedia cites a 2004 addition to the ODNB, but does not provide the reasoning. See: Janet Burton, "William of York (d. 1154)" Oxford Dictionary of National Biography.2,3
