| Jollan (or John) de Neville | |||||||||||||||
| BLG1886 ('Nevill of Nevill Holt') reports that John was a son of John, lord of Pickhall, son of Geoffrey de Nevill by Emma de Bulmer. That is discounted because, had he been a legitimate son of that Geoffrey, he would have been Geoffrey's heir which was not the case. BLG1952 names him as Jollan and shows the connection we provide. | |||||||||||||||

| BLG1886 (Nevile of Thorney) identifies the following William as son of Sir Robert Nevile of Eldon but BLG1952 shows the above ancestry which was abstracted from research reported in The Genealogist in 1909 and 1911. | |||||||||||||||
| (a) | William Nevill of South Leverton (d after 1466) - continued below | ||||||||||||||

| The whosyomama site shows this Andrew as father of Jollan de Nevill of Rollaston who, by Margart Fytting, was father of Thomas de Nevill of Rollaston who by Cecily, daughter of Ralph Blancminster) was father of William with whom the site ends. There may be some confusion here with the Andrew of Holt, Pickhall and Rolleston whom we show below as husband of Cecilia Blanchminster. | |||||||||||||||
