I am working on the Domville line from Margaret Domville (md Hatton)

back to the Domvilles of Oxton and Brunstath, Cheshire. After reviewing

postings in this list, I was able to go back quite a few generations.

However, once I get to the early 1500's and before, I hit problems.

Using Visitation of Cheshire 1580, and History of the county Palatine

and city of Chester, I have a line that goes thus:

Roger de Domville/Margaret Venables had Roger de Domville/unnamed wife,

who had John Domville/Maud Brereton. John and Maud had two sons, namely

John who married Cecily Mobberley, and Robert who married Agnes de

Legh. John and Robert were born about 1322 and 1324, or close to those

dates. Robert Domville and Agnes had sons John (S&H) and Robert (not

sure if he really existed) John apparentlely served in the wars against

Owen Glendower, and had a pension on or by 1398. He married a daughter

of John Savage, possibly Elizabeth. John and Elizabeth? had a son John

who married Joan Mascy after 1464, and they had John Domville who

married Elizabeth Radclyffe. The line goes on, but this is far enough.

The problem comes in with John Domville and Elizabeth? Savage. Robert,

father of John, was married by 1342, when he received the manor of

Lymme from Gilbert de Lymme, as he is called the husband of Agnes de

Legh. This puts the birth of John Domville somewhere between 1342 and

about 1365, when Robert would be about 40 years old. Robert could hav

children after 40, but it may be pushing the limit. John and Elizabeth?

had a son John that married Joan Mascy, but Joan aka Janet was listed

as unmarried in 1464 in proceedings after the death of her father Hamon

Mascy in 1462 or so. It seems that several generation are missing, but

the Visitation , which runs from John Domville/Maud Brereton down to

1580. gives the line as I have shown. Can anyone help fill in missing

generations? The earliest generations are validated by deeds and

papers, but from the 1350's to the 1450's are not well documented.

Citing Burke's Irish Family Records 1976, Stirnet has one Gilbert Domville as son of Robert & Agnes Leigh, and father of John who is said to have married Elizabeth Savage, thereby providing a generational bridge. No wife is shown.
Stirnet also noted that Ormerod did not include this Gilbert. Bronwen
