Affrica marriage with Olaf I of Man

In many of the references I have seen, Fergus is estimated to have been
born around 1096. One reference, drawn from M'Herlie, says he was aged
42 in 1138. The postee reminds us that little or no supporting
documentation was provided for that statement. In any event, I gather
the date of his death, in 1161, is relatively well proven. If Affrica
married Olaf 1 in 1102, she must have been 15 or older, (b. before
1087?) one would think? And that would imply that Fergus had to have
been born at least 15 years prior to 1087, or no later than 1072. And
therefore over 89 at the time of his death? (and possibly considerably
older than that!)
My questions:
1. Does it seem likely that Affrica was Fergus' daughter? Perhaps his
sister? Or mother?
2. I have seen a lot of debate on whether Fergus was married to an
illegitimate daughter of Henry "Beauclerc" - would Affrica not be too
old for that? And therefore, one would have to assume a second marriage?
