Note: One merged profile had Lawrence as son of "unknown Stafford" and Warin Trussell (showing Maud de St Philibert as another wife). George Ormerod's The History of the County Palatine and City of Chester (Vol. III, p 122; accessed June 25, 2015) shows only a marriage to a daughter of Stafford & has her as the mother of Frances, Maud, Elizabeth, and Lawrence. However, Richardson shows Lawrence's mother as Maud de Saint Philibert, so that's what WikiTree reflects.
