Other issue
[edit]Several sources including the visitation of Chester in 1580 indicate another son, Geoffrey, Prior of Norton and I have seen another claim of a further son John, who settled in Ireland (ancestor of Viscount Baltinglass) who arrived in Ireland with Hugh de Lacy in 1180. Is there any other sources which could confirm or disprove? Regards Newm30 (talk) 09:49, 2 December 2017 (UTC)
- If secondary sources from the current time do not mention them, we shouldn't either. Visitations are notoriously unreliable for information much earlier than the date of the visitation, not to mention they are primary sources and we base our articles on secondary sources. The very lack of mention of the supposed son is disproof of the possibility. Ealdgyth - Talk 13:21, 2 December 2017 (UTC)
