In 1255 John de Marisco answered for the fee of Woolwich under a Ralph
de Mandeville. It seems possible that Sybil and Walter are the
children of this Ralph de Mandeville. (Anyone know who this Ralph
is?) However, Hal Bradley in his database says their father was
Edmund de Mandeville citing A Survey of the Cathedral Church of
Worcester (London: 1736.), Appendix p. 77. (Anyone know who this
Edmund is?) I cannot find a free copy of this reference online, does
anyone know what this reference says?

I checked out the reference quoted above to find that it was Godfrey Giffard's will. The Edmund de Mandeville mentioned was a cleric who was later a friar at Friars Minor Worcester. The entry in the will was:

De fratribus minoribus -- Item, fratribus minoribus Wygornie c. solidos.Et fratri Edmundo de Mandevyle ejusdem ordinis xl. solidos.


Edmund, seemingly sponsored by William Giffard, Archbishop of York, when appointed to Normanton on Soar, was next found to occupy the rich prebend of Stanwick at the Cathedral church of Ripon.

The above items and the bequest from Godfrey's will are the only referencesto Edmund that I
have found.

I feel that Edmund was related to Alice Giffard's de Mandeville husband.

As regards Eltham, the following entries are of interest.

1263 Fine Roll C 60/60, 47 HENRY III.
Abt. 20 April. Westminster.
Kent. - Ernulf de Mandeville gives one mark for a writ ad terminum. Order to the sheriff of Kent.

Then they [the jurors] say that the Lord Nicholas de Leukenor stopped up a certain way which led from Mottingham towards Eltham which was a common way and has closed the same for 16 years and Sir Ernald de Mandeville's heirs keep it closed and it is an encroachment.

This Ernulf/Ernald cannot be the husband of Galiena de Dammartin, and assumed to be dead when she granted property to her two sons , John and Hugh 1254-1257. (Volume I. of Essex Feet of Fines, pp.199 and 223).
