BLG1886 starts its article with the following: "A Norman Knight, of the name of Fitz-Asor, who accompanied William, Duke of Normandy, into England at the time of the Conquest, received from the Conqueror a grant of several manors in the Isle of Wight, as may be seen by a reference in the "Domesday Book." "
Jordan de Insula or De Lisle (d by 1155)
m. Hawise
1. Geoffrey (Galfride) de Insula, lord of Wodyton, Isle of Wight (d 1188?)
  BLG1886 reports that Galfride was alive in the time of Henry III, who r. 1216-1272, but TCP reports that he appears to have died in 1188.
  m. Hawise
  A. Walter de Insula of Wodyton (d 1221)
  m. Margaret
  i. Geoffrey (Galfride) de Insula of Wodyton, Sheriff of Hampshire (d 1251)

  (A) John de Insula or de Lisle, 2nd Lord Lisle of Wodyton (Wootton) (b c1281, d before 20.08.1331)
 

BLG1886 identifies John's wife as Roesia, dau of Sir John Cormailles of Thruxton but TCP names her ...

  m. Pernel
  (i) Bartholomew de Insula or de Lisle of Wodyton, '3rd Lord' (d 15.08.1345)
BLG1886, having noted that Bartholmew's father & grandfather had been summoned to Parliament as Barons, makes no such claim for Bartholomew & his successors. TCP reports that "according to modern doctrine" identifies Bartholomew & his successors as de jure Lords.
  m. (by 1329) Elizabeth de Courtenay (a 04.1364, dau of Hugh de Courtenay, Earl of Devon)
  (a) Sir John de Insula or de Lisle of Wodyton, '4th Lord' (b 13.12.1335, d 24.11.1370)

  ((1)) Sir John de Lisle of Wodyton & Thruxton, '5th Lord', Governor of Guernsey (b 15.08.1366, d 31.01or01.02.1407/8)
  BLG1886 suggests that Thruxton was in the family for 2 generations before this Sir John but TCP suggests that his wife Elizabeth "was presumably heiress or coheiress of Thruxton", implying that Thruxton came into the family in this generation.
