I have come across numerous references to an apparent citation of the
chronicler Florence of Worcester naming Bernard de Neufmarche as son
in law to Osbern fitz Richard, sometime in the late 11th century.
However I have trawled through different versions of the chronicles
and been unable to find it (i.e. "Florentii Wigorniensis Monachi
Chronicon ex chronicos", Thorpe, 1848; "The Chronicle of Florence of
Worcester", Forester, 1854 & "The Church Historians of England Vol II
part 1", Stevenson, 1853).

Am I being particularly stupid (very possible), or is this a case of
an oft repeated source that doesn't actually exist?
Can anyone put me out of my misery please.
