Families covered: Gylle of Buckland, Gyll of Haydon, Gyll (Gill) of Wydial (Wyddial)
| (1) MGH provides the following note, quoting from Dugdale, Monasticon (vol ii): "Gylle or Gille of the Barony of Gille's Land Cumberland before the Conquest. Bueth Gille a Saxon Lord of Gilles Land & of Denton Cumberland. His son Robert assumed the name of Vallis or de Vaux which is the synonyme for Gylle which means valley." This implies that the family of Vaux of Gilsland may have been the senior line of this family. That contradicts what is suggested on Vaux1. (2) When we first did this page, CTG (1843) & MGH (1876) were our Main Sources. On 10.11.15 we added Lipscomb & BLG1858 and redid the page so as not to lose the additional information provided by Lipscomb on the earliest generations whilst more clearly identifying the differences between the sources. |

| Lipscomb reports that "On his tomb are the effigy of six sons and five daughters". That is also mentioned by MGH. Lipscomb, MGH, CTG & BLG1858 all name the same 3 sons & 2 daughters. The main contradiction between the sources (MGH disagreeing with the other sources) concerns which of the 2 elder sons was father of the John & Richard who were progenitors of the later generations (plus Leonard). CTG, Lipscomb & BLG1858 show Richard as the elder & father of John & Richard (plus Leonard) but, provisionally, we follow MGH in showing that it was ... | |||||||||||||||
