BE1883 reports that the barony of Pontfract passed to John FitzRichard (later John de Lacy - see below) through John's mother Albreda (Aubreye) de Lisours who was daughter of Albrida (Aubrey), this Henry's wife, by her second marriage to Eudo de Lisours. Not least because that would mean that there was no blood connection in the passing of the barony, which would have been unusual for that time, we follow TCP (Lincoln). It appears that the source used by BE1883 may have confused Henry's wife with his sister.

m. Albreda de Lisours (dau of Robert de Lisours) @@ just above
1. John FitzRichard of Halton, later de Lacy of Pontfract, Constable of Chester (d 1179/90)
  Visitation identifies John's wife as Agnetia (Agnes), sister of William, Count of Albemarle. BE1883 identifies her as Alice de Vere but TCP (Lincoln) identifies her only as Alice. We were thinking of the implications of TCP (vol X, appendix J, p. 118) which shows an Alice, known by her mother's name of de Vere, as wife of John, Constable of Chester, but realised that she was John's niece, daughter of Roger FitzRichard below.

  c. Idonea de Lacy
  m. Roger de Camville
  ii.+ other issue - Roger (dsp), Robert
  Visitation indicates that the Robert here was of Clavering (and Warkworth) and was ancestor of families who took the name Clavering. We used to follow BE1883 in showing that Robert as son of Roger FitzRichard below but are now uncertain on how the families connected.
  B. Robert FitzJohn de Lacy of Flamburgh ancestor of families named Constable
  C. John de Lacy
  m. Alicia Mandeville (dau of Geoffrey de Mandeville, 1st Earl of Essex)
  ii. Galfrid de Lacy had issue
D. Agnes de Lacy
  m. _ de Monhalt
  E.+ other issue - Albert, Richard, Margaret
2. ? Roger FitzRichard
  A Roger, son of Richard FitzEustace, is often shown as Roger FitzRichard of Warkworth, ancestor of the Claverings. However, it appears that that connection is erroneous.
3. Maria 'FitzRichard'

  A. Richard de Alford
  i. Margaret de Alford
  m. John de Arderne of Aldford Castle
4. Albreda 'FitzRichard'
