From http://www.mindfreedom.net/gen/t-s-p/p177.htm#i8461

That Robert, a little known son of the Earl of Gloucester was even married, is revealed in a charter dated between June 1141 and 1161, probably before Oct 1147, in which Hawise, daughter of Earl Baldwin de Redvers, made a gift to Quarr Abbey

jointly with her husband, Robert, son of the Earl of Gloucester. CP, 5: 686 states Robert was a natural son of Earl Robert and that he was named c1160 in a charter and is addressed in a writ from King Henry II as Castellan of Gloucester. [Ronny Bodine, SGM, 18 Feb 1999]

Note: The marriage took place before the charter, which was June 1141 - Oct 1147 (probably).
