Notes - Possibly, but far from certainly, the father of Geoffrey who d. abt. 1146.
"Gilbert, identified as Gilbert de Neville, in 1086 held in Lincs a carucate, &c., at Walcot near Folkingham, and another at Yawthorpe, of the Abbot of Peterborough. Presumably the same Gilbert, about 1115-18, held of Peterborough in Lincs 2 carucates for 2 hides, and found one knight; of the Bishop of Lincoln land in Scothern, Reepham, &c.; and in Middle Rasen and elsewhere of Manasser Arsic." [Complete Peerage. The identification of this Gilbert as a Neville is footnoted to Feudal England by John Horace Round.]
"Gilbert I de Neville; held in the year 1086 carucates (a carucate was an area of land that could be cultivated by an eight-ox plough team throughout a single year) at Waltcot, Lincolnshire and Yawthorpe, together with others in that part of England by 1115-18; kinship is plausible but has not been proven with [son Geoffrey]." [Burke's Peerage]
The idea that he was William the Conqueror's "admiral", persistent in many sources, is almost certainly fanciful.
- Possibly, but far from certainly, the father of Geoffrey who d. abt. 1146.
