General Notes

I got Agnes' parents from Fred Lathrop, World Connect db=flathrop, rootsweb.com.  Fred referred to a source "Abell, p. 28".  The marriage by Gilbert to a daughter of Somerled is a little unusual to say the least.  The dates are agreeable and the name "de Lisle/ of the Isles" would tend to support it, but the chances of a Lord from Suffolk running coming into contact with a daughter of Somerled seem remote.  ##check ancestry

Curt Hofemann, curt_hofemann@@yahoo.com, provided additional info & insights in the following post-em:

most secondary sources list her as: Agnes d'Lisle

Fred referred to a source "Abell, p. 28".
"Medieval English Ancestors of Robert Abell" written & self published by Carl Boyer III, 2001, P.O. Box 220333, Santa Clarita, CA 91322-0333, printed by Sheridan Books, ISBN: 0-936124-22-9.  It's $35 + $4 shipping directy from the author.

I am skeptical that her father was Somerled.  All sources Iíve seen state Agnesí parentage is unknown.  There are listings on WorldConnect that show her parents as Alan of Galloway & Helen díLisle, but that is clearly chronologically impossible.

For Somerled check "The Scots Peerage", edited by Sir James Balfour Paul, multiple volumes published 1904-1914.
