Jollan de Neville (d.1246), was a younger son of Joelin or Joslen [aka Jollan] de Neville (d. 1207),[1][2] a clerk in the exchequer, and Amfelise (Amflicia) de Rolleston, dau. of Alan, constable of Richmond.[3]

Siblings
He had an older brother John (b. c. 1187 - dsp 1219), who was of age before 1208.[1] John served in Gascony and died childless, leaving Jollan to succeed.[2]
Marriage
Jollan probably married Maud. Her mother was Eva, daughter of John de Grey, who presumably descends from the Greys of Rotherfield.
While Maud's mother is known, paternity has yet to be established.[5]
Eva's first husband Ralph Murdac (d. abt. 1196/7), was a royal judge. So it's possible that he knew justice Neville.[5]
If Murdac was not Maud's father then he may have been Eva's second husband, Andrew Beauchamp, which would account for the given name of Jollan's younger son.[6]
He was a judge in, co. York. & co. Northumb. during Aug 1234, 1235, 1240 & Nov 1241.[3]
From 1241 - 1245 Jollan was a superior judge at Westminster.[3]
Research
need evidence for marriage: who, what, when, where, why?
CAUTION: Neville of Holte, co. Leic. in Vis. of Leic. 1619 has many errors and tries to make the Nevilles of Holte a cadet branch of the Nevilles of Raby, co. Durham through paternal lineage.
