We have not yet found a source that deals satisfactorily with the de Morville family, showing how (if at all) the various Hugh de Morevilles were connected. Many web sites clearly mix them up. The following is an attempt to pull the basic 'facts' together.
TCP (Multon) reports:
Simon de Morvill
Simon is reported by some web sites to have died in 1140 and to have been son of Hugh de Moreville who came into England at the time of the Conquest.
m. Ada Engaine (dau of William Engaine by Eustacie)
1. Hugh de Morvill of Burgh (forester of Cumberland)
Some web sites suggest that this was the Hugh (d 1204) who was one of the murderers of Thomas Becket. That Hugh was lord of Knaresborough which some sites report as having been obtained by this Hugh through his marriage to Heloise. Other sites say that Hugh of Knaresborough was son of Hugh, Constable of Scotland (see below). It is noted that Knaresborough and Burgh were in the same region.
m. Heloise de Stuteville (dau of Robert de Stuteville)
A. Ada de Morvill (d after 1240)
