| | Raymond Edwin Bowlby's Origin of the Bowlby Surname |
 | | Gautier Giffard accepted this as his chief honor, and established his family in Longueville, apparently leaving his subfeudary honor of Bolebec to his brother Hugue, since Hugue de Bolebec joined Walter Giffard, Counte de Longueville, in the donation of the church of Bolebec to the abbey of Berney in 1061. |
 | | Walter de Bolebec, second son of Hugh de Bolebec, succeeded his brother, Hugh, in the barony and died before 1185, leaving a daughter, Isabel, and possibly a second daughter, Constance. |
 | | Isabel de Bolebec, daughter of Walter, was nine years old at the death of her father, and became the ward of Alberic de Vere, Earl of Oxford, who paid the King 500 marks in 1191 in order that his son might marry her. |
