Dear Todd,

I have yet to note (or seek out) direct evidence for the
Yelverton-Bardolf marriage, but I have tentatively identified Thomas
Bardolf of Spixworth, Norfolk (d. bef 1346 - #1.1.2b.2 in the
foregoing pedigree) as the best candidate for father of Cecily, wife
of Robert de Yelverton. She would be in the next generation following
the Morley marriage; further, a marriage with the lords of Spixworth
is at least a step or two down the social scale from marrying directly
into the Bardolfs of Wormegay.

Cheers,

John
