 Oliver de Vaux Baron Dalston was born about 1175 in Dalston, Norfolk County, England.1

Oliver de Vaux, was descended from Robert, the brother of Hubert who received the Barony of Gilesland. This branch of the family was settled in Norfolk. Oliver was the second of seven sons of Robert de Vaux, and on the death of his older brother, who died without issue, succeeded him to the estates. The date of his death is not recorded, but he lived beyond 1245, when he is mentioned in the Pipe Roll. By his wife Petronilla, the widow of Henry de Mara, and also of, William de Longchamp, he left several sons. The succession of this barony devolved on the eldest son, on the death of whose two son, William and John, died without male issue, fell into the hands of Oliver's fourth son Roger de Vaux. ~Biographia Juridica.
