Jollan (or John) de Neville

BLG1886 (Nevill of Nevill Holt) reports that John was a son of John, lord of Pickhall, son of Geoffrey de Nevill by Emma de Bulmer. That is discounted because, had he been a legitimate son of that Geoffrey, he would have been Geoffrey's heir which was not the case. BLG1952 names him as Jollan, as does the whosyomama web site, and shows the connection we provide.

The web site shows this Andrew as father of Jollan de Nevill of Rollaston who, by Margart Fytting, was father of Thomas de Nevill of Rollaston who by Cecily, daughter of Ralph Blancminster) was father of William with whom the site ends.
