Dear Newsgroup ~

Back in 2007, John Ravilious kindly posted a pedigree chart of the early Fitz William family of Sprotborough and Emley, Yorkshire [see below].

His pedigree shows that William Fitz William (living 1219) and his wife, Ela de Warenne, were the parents of two sons, Thomas and Roger.

...

While I was aware that William Fitz William and his wife, Ela, had sons named Thomas and Roger, I did not known about the third son, John. Nor did I know that all three sons were knighted.

Best always, Douglas Richardson, Salt Lake City, Utah

One important question comes to mind: what evidence do we
have in hand that Ela de Warenne was in fact the mother of Sir
Thomas fitz William?

Cheers,

John

I also must ask how you came to the conclusion that Ela de Warenne was the mother of Thomas Fitz William?

I never saw a concrete explanation for the conclusion.

Thank you!
