      ; per Richardson: [quote] The baronial Gaunt (or Gant) family of Folkingham, Lincolnshire has received good coverage by William Farrer in Early Yorkshire Charters, 2 (1913). Farrer shows that Robert de Gaunt, died 1191, had two wives, Alice (or Adeliza) Paynell and Gunnor d'Aubeney. By his first marriage, he is known to have had one daughter, Avice (wife of Robert Fitz Robert Fitz Harding), who was the heiress of her mother. By his second marriage, Farrer states that Robert de Gaunt had one son, Gilbert, Knt. [see Farrer, Early Yorkshire Charters, 2 (1913): 433 (chart)]. [end quote]¹

     (?) de Avenel heiress of Abercorn and Eskdale married Sir Henry de Graham laird of Dalkeith, lord of Hutton, son of Sir Henry de Graham of Dalkeith and Simundburn in Tynedale, Northumberland and Christiana? 'filia Ada' (?).¹

      ; The authoritative Complete Peerage 3 (1913): 551 (sub Cromwell) has a good account of the life history of Sir Ralph [de] Cromwell (died 1398), 1st Lord Cromwell, who married Maud [de] Bernake. In the record of Sir Ralph Cromwell's extended ancestry, it identifies his great-grandfather as follows, with no mention of his wife:

"Ralph de Cromwell (died shortly before 2 March 1298/9)."

The wife of Ralph de Cromwell (died 1299) can now be identified as Joan de Somerville, daughter of Sir Robert de Somerville (died 1297), of Wichnor (in Tatenhill), Yorkshire and Great Benton, Northumberland, by his wife, Isabel (died 1300), daughter and co-heiress of Roger de Merlay, Knt. (died 1265), of Morpeth, Northumberland and Burton Agnes, Yorkshire.

The evidence for Joan de Somerville's identity and parentage is found in Rev. Stebbing Shaw, History and Antiquities of Staffordshire, 1 (1798): 119, which reads as follows:

"Which Robert [de] Somerville, knt. lord of Whichnor, 21 Edward I. granted to Ralph de Cromwell, knt. in frank marriage with Joan, his daughter, 15l. rent in Schirescote and Curborowe, with all his land, etc. there, as will there more fully be shown."

VCH Stafford 14 (1990): 278 provides additional confirmation:

"An estate in Little Curborough centring on Curborough House originated in a virgate held in the later 13th Century by John de Somerville, lord of Wychnor in Tatenhill. John was succeeded in or shortly after 1279 by his son, Robert, and Robert in 1297 by his son, Edmund. [34] Edmund held the estate as 1/4 knight's fee of the bishop as lord of Longdon in 1298. By 1301 he was a clerk and claimed that he held no lay fee. [35] His father had apparently granted an interest in the estate to Sir Ralph de Cromwell on Ralph's marriage ro Edmund's aunt Joan in 1292-3 [36], and in the 1320's, after Edmund's death, the estate passed to Sir Ralph's son, also Ralph. [37] Ralph, Baron Cromwell, a descendant, still had an interest in the estate in 1442-3. [38].

The above information in VCH Stafford is correct, except that Joan de Somerville, wife of Sir Ralph de Cromwell, was the sister of Edmund de Somerville, clerk, not his aunt.

Joan de Somerville's extensive ancestry can be found on Jim Weber's great website at the link below. The ancestry includes an interesting descent from King Ethelred II of England.

Joan de Somerville's maternal great-grandmother was Ada, wife of Roger de Merlay (died 1239), who my files shows was the daughter of Duncan, 6th Earl of Fife in Scotland, by his wife, Ela, thought to have been a daughter of Reynold de Warenne.

; per Pedrick: [quote] The third of the manor of Whittington was that now known as Newton with Docker and appears to have belonged to a native family which had accepted the Norman king. Ravenkil son of Raganald is the first of this family to be named, as he attested the Charter of Roger of Poitou to the monks of Lancaster in 1094 (Farrer, Lacs. Pipe Rolls p 43) he was also a holder of lands in Woodplumpton. His son Roger gave lands in Linacre to the Hospital of Jerusalem and was father of Richard who died in 1201 (Ibid, pp 43,44). This Richard, son of Roger, married Margaret daughter and co-heir of Thurstan Banastre and was the founder of Lytham Priory - Margaret is named in her husband's charter of 1-5 Richard 1 (1189-94)(Ibid, pp. 346, 348). Richard had five daughters and was fined £100 for marrying his eldest daughter, Matilda, without the King's licence; this fine is accounted for in the Pipe Roll of 1179-80. His children were:

(i) MATILDA, married to Sir Robert de Stockport, who died in 1205, leaving a son and heir Robert de Stockport, whose inquisition post mortem is dated 27th March 1249, who also left a son and heir, Robert de Stockport of full age, who had livery of his lands by writ dated 4th May 1248, having given 33s 4d for his relief. He died in 1292, leaving a daughter and heiress Joan, who married Sir. Nicholas de Eton.

(ii) QUINILDA, was married twice, first to Jordan de Thornhill and secondly to Roger Gernet of Halton. She however died without issue in 1252, when an inqusition post mortem, held on 13th May, found that her heirs were Robert de Stockport and Sir Ralph de Bethum, great-nephew and nephew respectively, and that she held in chief of the heirs of Sir William de Lindesey 5 1/4 bovates of land in Whittington by the service of 4s 5d. In June 1252 her heirs paid 40s and had livery of her lands.

(iii) MARGARET married in 1206 to Hugh de Morton, died s.p.

(iv) AVICE, married in 1201 to William de Millum; both died s.p before 1235.

(v) AMURIA, married, before 1206 to Thomas de Bethum on whom an inquisition post mortem was held on 17th April 1249, which found Sir Ralph de Bethum to he his son and heir. [end quote]¹ Ravenkil fitz Raganald was living in 1094.¹

     Joan Clifford married Edward Birkbeck.¹

      ; per Verity: "The 2nd Earl was said to be so shocked when given news of his first wife's death, that he fainted and was taken for dead himself, reviving as his attendants were making embalming arrangements! This didn't stop him from fathering two illegitimate daughters, often left out of pedigrees. If the 1553 date of marriage for Joan, given by 'House of Clifford' is correct, she had to have been born during the 2nd Earl's first marriage. The other daughter Elizabeth was likely born between the 2nd Earl's two marriages..."¹
