Answer 1

Sorry Joseph, but I wouldn't consider this publication particularly reliable.  It doesn't cite any sources, apart from the mention of the Book of Fees.  Consequently I wouldn't support any changes to profiles based on this source alone.

A better source for the Honour of Wahull, but perhaps difficult to obtain, is Farrer's, Honour and Knights Fees, vol. 1.  There is quite a long section on this family, starting on p. 62.  See this WikiTree free space page for those volumes, they might be available for people from USA? 

There might be other better sources as well.

Thank you

Richard FitzWale was Lord of Eydon but Eben listened his father Galo Fitz Wale. For whom I can find absolutely nothing. But agin with out knowing where he got this information.

The good news is volume 1 is fully available online for the "Wahull" family https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=mdp.39015032992227&view=1up&seq=77&skin=2021

Thank you for this interesting information.

@Brad, unfortunately Google Books and often HathiTrust have a very conservative copyright policy when it comes to people from outside of the USA, and from Australia, I only get a Limited Search Only option on that link.

I do have a downloaded copy of all 3 volumes of this work, but can't remember where I found them to download them.

Thank you. Yeah it's been one of those things I found. I just wish if he had sources he would have shared.  I just want folks to know it's out there. It's not far fetched sounding just no proof.
