Biography
Waltheof of Allerdale was an 11th- and 12th-century Anglo-Saxon noble, lord of Allerdale in modern Cumbria. Brother of Dolfin of Carlisle and Gospatric of Dunbar, Waltheof son of Gospatric, Earl of Northumbria. Both Waltheof and his brother Gospatric witness Earl David's Glasgow Inquest 1113 x 1124, and Waltheof also attests some of David's charters as king of the Scots later. The account of Waltheof and his family in Cumbrian monastic cartularies (St Bees and Wetheral), says that he gave land in Allerdale to his three sisters, Octreda, Gunhilda and Maud.[1]
Waltheof had two sons and several daughters. Alan (fl. 1139), succeeded to Allerdale.[2] The other son was named Gopspatric.[3] An Octreda, either his sister or daughter, appears to have married Donnchad mac Maíl Coluim and become mother of William fitz Duncan, mormaer of Moray.[4] William fitz Duncan appears to have inherited Waltheof's Allerdale territory from his mother.[5] A definite daughter, Ethelreda, married Ranulf de Lindsay and then William de Esseville.[6] Another, Gunnilda, married Uhtred of Galloway. Waltheof's partner appears to have been a woman named Sigrid or Sigarith.

She died before her son was born?

Just to note, the death date is 8 years before birth of daughter. And, if born in 1070, was probably to old to have been the mother of Gunnild.
