Robert Giffard , of Whitechurch 
Robert was born in 1096 in Whitechurch, Dorsetshire, England. Robert's father was Ralph de Tellieres and his mother was Ronais FitzGilbert de Clare. His paternal grandfather was Gilbert Seigneur de Tellieres; his maternal grandparents were Richard FitzGilbert 1st Earl de Clare and Rohese Giffard. He was an only child. He died in Weare Giffard, Torrington, Devonshire, England.General Notes
Robert Giffard (younger brother of Gerard Gifford, of Fonthill); married ?, sister and sole heir of Gilbert de Warenne, thus acquiring large estates in Devon centered on Weare (which in consequence became known as Weare Giffard). [Burke's Peerage]
I am not sure if this Robert (the one identified by Burke's Peerage] is the same as the Robert identified as an ancestor of Mathew Gifford b. 1269 by many sources on World Connect. The two Roberts come to be born about the same time. Burke's seems to indicate that their Robert is in someway descended (directly?) from Osbern de Bolebec, which this Robert is (indirectly through several daughters), and presumably took the name of his maternal grandmother.
