Richard Borthwick, cites a reconstruction of this area by G. Washington in "The 
Parentage of William de Lancaster, Lord of Kendal" in 'Transactions of the 
Cumberland and Westmorland Antiquarian and Archeological Society', LXII (1962), 95
-100, incorporating as Part II, a section written by G. Andrews Moriarty. In this 
reconstruction Christina is daughter of Ivo de Taillebois by Lucy of Mercia and marries 
Chetell, d. aft. 1120, son of Eldred of Workington. They are parents of Orm who 
married Gunhilda/Gunnilda. It is through marriage to Christina, daughter of Ivo 1st 
Baron of Kendal that the Barony of Kendal is brought into the family, not through 
Eldred as Ancestral Roots implies.

However Orm cannot be born too much after 1075, because he marries Gunnilda de 
Dunbar, whose father died in 1074. Since Christina de Taillebois, could not have been 
born before 1086, as that was when Ivo's 1st wife Judith of Lens died, I have placed 
Orm as the son of an "Unknown First Wife". It is the only way to make the dates work. 
It also has the added benefit of explaining why Gilbert (a younger son) became the 
next Baron of Kendal, inheriting it through his mother, rather than Orm (the elder son), 
who was the son of a prior wife.


Note: Richard Borthwick's reconstruction also suggests (with little proof) that Gilbert is 
not a son of Chetell, but that he married Goditha, a daughter of Eldred of Workington. 
I have chosen not to follow that suggestion.
