William FitzDuncan, married about 1138 Alice De Rumilly, daughter of William Meschin, by Cecily, daughter of Robert de Rumilly. They had one son, William, and three daughters, Cecily (wife of William le Gros, Amabel, Alice [de Rumilly] (wife of Gilbert Pipard and Robert de Courtenay). By an unknown first wife or mistress, he also had two sons, Gospatric and Donald Bane. Alice married (2nd) before Michaelmas 1156 Alexander FitzGerold.
As R.J. mentions below, there are still some corrections needed with the other children. I'll leave you to sort out the others, here is the link to William:
According to the Bolton Priory source shown herein, Ranulf was a brother to Alice, but based on the wording, he apparently died young: "Ranulf inheriting the patronage of St Bees, for the few years of his adult life" .... since no brother Ranulf is shown and the one shown as her son doesn't fit, it seems he may have been placed a generation off?

Thank you!
The son shown, Henry FitzGerold, who m. Matilda Chesney, was actually Alexander's brother,
I will leave a note on Henry's page also, as we need to detach him from Alexander and merge into the correct LNAB of GEROLD.
