Biography
In charter no. 9 in the cartulary of Stoke by Clare (vol.1, p.7), dated to 1138-1152, King Stephen [reigned 1135-1154] says that Willelmus de Ginneio was holding Haveringland in Norfolk and his family had held it from the time of William Rufus. This William had it since the time of Stephen's uncle (avunculus) King Henry I, and had ruled since the death of his father Rogerus de Ginneio, who had been lord in the time of uncle (avunculus) who he called Willelmus Blundus. The cartulary shows that Roger had granted tithes from these lordships to this priory. (See for example charter 37, page 29.)
1173-1182. Stoke by Clare charter 55, pp. 39-40 discusses the share of tithes which this family had long ago granted to that priory, coming from lands in Haveringland and Whitwell in Norfolk. It mentions that the Roger Gignei, Ginnei or Ginnai who made the original grants was the grandfather (avus) of the present Roger.[1]
