The following is excerpted from a post to SGM, 2 Jun 2002, by Ivor West:
The Boyton line and the Brimsfield line of John Giffard, 1231 - 1299,come together at the common ancestor, Elias II of Brimsfield. Elias IIIand Walter of Boyton, father of Hugh, were brothers. This makes JohnGiffard of Brimsfield second cousin to bishop Godfrey of Boyton and toWillam, the suggested father of Margaret. Because of the longergenerations in the Brimsfield line, John and Margaret would seem to berelated as alleged, in the third and fourth degrees ( John - Elias IV -Elias III - Elias II ), ( Margaret - William - Hugh - Walter - Elias II ).
son of Ellis II Giffard, father of Hugh.
