In Domesday Book, Geoffrey was a tenant of Hugh de Gournai in Essex. Their original French patrimony was apparently at Sainte-Crois-sur Buchy near Rouen, also under Gournai, and they also held a lordship at Cleuville under the Giffards.
He is thought to be the Geoffrey who was a tenant of Gundulf of Rochester in 1100-3.
This same Geoffrey appears to be the one who was dead just before the Pipe Roll of 1129/30 when his widow Agnes paid 2 gold marks for her dowry. The new Geoffrey ("II") who appeared in that same roll and died 1140 is presumed to be their son.
