Possibly connected to the family of the Colviles of Bytham Castle was the following Robert though the coat of arms attributed to him by BLG1952 (argent, a cross fleuri gules) is very different to the arms of that family. Note that we have a temporary section on the Colviles of Newtown, co. Down, who were probably descended from the family below in a way presently unknown.
