The early Neville picture is very sketchy. Gilbert was probably a descendant of the original Gilbert de Neville, but the exact route is unknown. One possible traceback is Gilbert => Geoffrey (of Walcot, fl. 1140s) => Ralph (no dates) => Gilbert the follower of William of Normandy.

GILBERT de Neville (-before 1169). King Henry II gave him the barony of Ashby, Lincolnshire[742]. Henry II King of England confirmed the foundation of Tupholm Abbey, Lincolnshire by ”Gilberti de Nevill et Alani de Nevill fratris sui” by undated charter, which confirmed donations by “Galfredi de Nevill…Galfridi filii Alani de Nevill…Henrici de Nevill…Ernisii de Nevill…Hugonis de Nevill”[743]. The Red Book of the Exchequer refers to "Gile de Neville v m" in Lincolnshire in [1161/62][744]. m ---. The name of Gilbert´s wife is not known. Gilbert & his wife had [at least] three children:

• Geoffroy de Neville (-before 1193), m. Emma de Bulmer => daughter Isabel m. Robert FitzMaldred => Nevilles of Raby => Earls of Westmoreland
• William de Neville
• Walter de Neville m. Cecilia de Crevecoeur => descendants

There may also have been at least one daughter, who married Jollan/Joscelin fitz Roscelin fitz Richard. A Geoffrey, William, and Walter de Neville are among the witnesses to the marriage contract of Jollan's son Jollan to Amphelis de Rolleston, c. 1175.
