Douglas asked what Kathleen's evidence was, so I'm forwarding the original
message sent by J.C.B.Sharp

So we see the evidence is "ALLof the extant versions of the charter dated by
Farrer...." [empasis added]
Pretty compelling and convincing. Whereas Farrer cited one copy.

In a very significant article Kathleen Thompson has collated all of the
extant versions of the charter dated by Farrer to 1094 (Monasteries and
Settlement in Norman Lancashire: unpublished charters of Roger the
Poitevin, Transactions of the Record Society of Lancashire & Cheshire,
CXL, 201-225). She concludes that what Orm witnessed was most likely a
confirmation and that the date was closer to 1130.
It is important to understand that the barony of Kendal did not exist
before the time of King Richard I, and that there is no evidence that the
Lancaster family were tenants in chief before that time.
Ivo Taillebois clearly held directly from the king. He was given a large
fee and a careful analysis shows that most fell eventually to the crown.
So he had no heir, although this does not rule out the possibility that he
married off a daughter or two. In particular he held the important castle
of Appleby which was included in the share of his widow Lucy but came to
the crown on her death. The same thing happened to his property in
Normandy at Cristot which was given to Saint-Etienne Caen (Haskins, Norman
Institutions, 9).
The fact that Ketel's charter giving the same churches to St Mary York as
Ivo had given is worded as a grant rather than a confirmation is not
conclusive. At this date it could have been either.
