You are of course referring to Thomas Gifford pf Twyford, Bucks.
ancestor to Sargent and Alice Freeman Tompson Park.

1. Eleanor Vaux of Harrowden, Northants.; b. ca 1405.
2. William Vaux, Esq. of Harrowden and Bottisham, Cambridgeshire; d.
1405; md. before 1399.
3. Eleanor Drakelowe of Wileby, NoHants.; b. ca. 1370;d. 1445/54.
4. William Vaux of Bottisham; living 1373-1381; perhaps did not die
until winter 1400/01.
5. [?Joan], sister of }ir Wm. Thirning of Lathbury, Bucks. and
Harrowden, Northants.
6. Sir Thomas Drakelowe of Wileby; killed before 26 March 1378.
8. William Vaux.
9. Joan. I have always wondered if Moriarty doubled up on 4 & 5.
There is further, but he is not sure which son of Robert Vaux is the
father of Wm. 8.
10. John Thirning of Little Harrowden; d. after 1331.
11. Joan.
12. Thomas Drakelowe; d. after 1369; md. after 1346.

20. William Thirning of Little Harrowden; d. after 1310.
21. Matilda.
26. Robert de Wileby.
27. Emma.

I see that flakin' Burke's Peerage strikes again. I really do not think
that this will fly! Kay Allen AG see previous post for better sources.

Dear Ed,

Many thanks for the De VAUX info. However, I wonder where the connection
lies between this mob and......
Beatrice De VAUX (c.1149 - 24 Mar 1217) m.c.1174 William De BRIWERE.

I have no forebears for her as yet.
Thanks
David in Ballarat, Australia
