No issue. She married (2) Henry de Sothill (by whom she had two sons (Sir Gerard; & Robert)). She married (3) to John de Beckingham.1,2

Richardson credits him with two sons, John and Richard. But he might have also been the father of the "Thomas son of Thomas de Lacy" who was involved in the last stages of the Elland feud.

He had no children with his 2nd wife, Beatrice, said to have been the daughter and heiress of Roger de Neville of Redbourne. She remarried Henry Soothill of Soothill and her son Gerard founded the Soothills of Redbourne. (A daughter of that line later married into the Lacys of Brearley, a cadet branch of the Lacys of Cromwellbottom.)

Relying on Ravilious' records, with some additions, a reasonable case can be made that Beatrice de Neville was m. at least 3 times - 1st to Thomas de Lacy of Cromwelbothom (as his 2nd wife), 2ndly to Sir Henry Sothill, and lastly to John de Bekyngham. The suggestion of Beatrice's first marriage - and the added history it adds to her relationship with the Sothills - has not been discussed on SGM before. If accepted, this suggestion and its related history offers a credible explanation for why Sir Gerard and brother were gifted Sothill. But it would also eliminate Beatrice de Neville as the biological mother of Sir Gerard. …
