Giffard family

Legg inn av Bob Harris » 04 feb 2006 03:02:02

I have been following the discussion on the Giffard family with interest.

I have the following reference:

A Survey at the Hall, Weare Giffard, Devon shows that William Le
Abbe was married to Cecily Giffard, sister of the last Sir Walter
Giffard. When Sir Walter's granddaughter Emma, wife of Robert de Dinham,
died childless in 1291, her Giffard inheritance reverted to the
descendants of her great aunts, Cecily and Rohesia, Weare falling to Cecilys
share.

(A.W.B.Messenger, LRIBA, A Survey of the Heraldry at the Hall, Weare
Giffard, Devon. Trans.Devonshire Assoc.,LXXV,Pedigree I.)

Reference is from the Plymstock connection by Ivy M Langdon, Westcountry
Books 1995.

From the correspondence and on line sources given in this forum I cant find
any references to Cecily who I understand had two children with William Le
Abbe. Can anyone give me information on Cecily and whether the above
reference is still accepted.
