I was following the descendants of Robert d'Eu who was born circa 1057 and how they get to Pasco Curle born circa 1628. The list as provided is as follows:
1 - Robert d'Eu circa 1057
2 - Bertram de Criol circa 1085
3 - Nicholas de Criol between 1090 and 1144
4 - Nicholas de Criol before 1623
5 - John Kryle (de Criol) before 1623
6 - John Crule (Kryle) before 1623
7 - John Crule before 1623
8 - Nicholas Crule between 1563 - 1623
9 - Pasco Curle c 1628 in the American Colonies

This is 9 generations which spans about 570 which seems awkward to be possible.
There must be a number of generations which are left out/missing.

I'm very interested in this since Robert d'Eu is my 26th great uncle.

Thanks for any help and guidance with the above.

Pasco Curle (b. 1628) is Robert d'Eu's (b. 1057) 6th great grandson!

Robert d'Eu
→ Bertram de Criol
his son → Nicholas De Criol, 11
his son → Sir Nichloas De Criol
his son → John de Criol
his son → John Kyrle
his son → John Curle
his son → NIcholas Curle
his son → Pasco Curle
his son

If true it would be miraculous. It can't be right though, good catch.

There are so many problems with this hypothetical line, I hardly know where to begin. There's no documentation for most of it.

There is a famous and very well documented Bertram de Criol (d. 1256), son of John de Criol and Margery. But obviously not the same person as shown here.

I'm not sure this Robert d'Eu has been proven, I rather doubt it.

MedLands has this Robert, but with a wife Beatrice and three children (Ralph, William, and Robert). No son by the name of Bertram there.

As for Pasco Curle, WikeTree has him as the son of Nicholas Curle and Judith Havoll, with no further ancestors beyond his English parents. The maiden name of his wife Sarah is unknown.

https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Curle-21

So I would discount everything from Bertram down through John Curle. I'd disconnect and delete all of those profiles, if I were their manager.

GUILLAUME de Normandie, illegitimate son of RICHARD I "Sans Peur" Comte de Normandie & his (unknown) mistress --- (978-1057). m. Lesceline

ROBERT d'Eu ([1005/10]-8 Sep [1089/93], bur Le Tréport). m. Beatrice and had three sons, Ralph, William, and ROBERT.

The latter Robert is the one here incorrectly given as the father of the nonexistent Bertram Crioll. Medlands has no information at all about this Robert. No wife, no children.

So in my last post, "MedLands has this Robert, but with a wife Beatrice and three children (Ralph, William, and Robert). No son by the name of Bertram there."

Strike through everything after "Medlands has this Robert", except for the part about "No son by the name of Bertram there."

_______________________

As for Pasco Crule, Geni has him in his mid to late 60s when he fathered children Joshua and Mary. And evidently his wife Sarah started having children in her late 30s. She was 54 when the last one with a birthdate was born. So that group needs some fact-checking, too.

https://www.geni.com/inconsistencies/path?from_id=60000000069066055...

Can we start by sourcing Pasco Curle c 1628 in the American Colonies & verifying his parentage, and then 8 - Nicholas Crule between 1563 - 1623 ? Can links to geni profiles be posted?

If we can’t validate those two generations, nobody is descending from - Bertram de Criol circa 1085 anyway.

https://www.geni.com/path/Pasco-Curle+is+related+to+Robert-d-Eu?fro...

Pasco Curle

Robert d'Eu

On Geni, Pasco is descended from a fake son of the Robert d'Eu linked here. (It just looks like the wrong Bertram was linked in the OP. The descent actually is through Bertram (b. ca. 1085) -- but through his other son, Nicholas De Criol

Both profiles linked above (Robert d'Eu and Pasco Curle) are MPs, so I would have to assume they've already been proven. It's everything in between Robert d'Eu and the father of Pasco that is seriously questionable.

From Bertram's (b. ca. 1085) Revisions we learn that he was originally added to "the tree" in 2008, but under a different name ("Robert de Crioll").

Then on December 29, 2010, "Geni" connected this Robert/Bertram Crioll to Bertram de Criol as the father of the latter profile.

Was Pasco Curle the son of NIcholas Curle

What profile is the fake son he descends from and east repair is needed?

Robert d'Eu ("Jr.") is shown with only one child: Robert de Criol (The fake son, as already has been explained above).

Of Pasco Curle I only know that WikiTree has Nicholas Curle and Judith Havoll as his parents, as mentioned and linked above in an earlier post. If you look at the link I posted, you can see an extensive list of sources, which I haven't specifically fact-checked. But....at least they do have some sources.

https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Curle-21

Yes, I just checked some references. Pasco is missing brothers & it looks like he has the right parents.

Forgive me, but I’m really confused about “fake son”.

are you saying disconnect Robert de Criol as son of Robert d'Eu

MPs on geni do not mean origins are proven.

A later Bertram de Criol (d 1256) has a Wikipedia article.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bertram_de_Criol

The historian Nicholas Vincent[2] agrees with the Duchess of Cleveland[3] in deriving the de Criol family from Criel-sur-Mer, Seine-Maritime, though Planché favoured Creil, Oise,[4] and Dunlop offered Creully, Calvados.[5] In Battle Abbey Roll lists the Duchesne recension has the name as "Escriols",[6] the Anglicized "Kyriel" appearing in the earlier Auchinleck manuscript.[7] Criel-sur-Mer is likely, because Robert, younger son of Robert, Count of Eu (d. c 1092), obtained it from his father, whose possession of Criel is shown from a charter to the Abbey of St-Michel du Tréport;[8] in the Domesday Survey, Robert de Cruell held Esseborne (Ashburnham), Sussex, from his kinsman the Count of Eu, governor of the Rape of Hastings,[9] and from these the de Criols and the ancient Ashburnham family are both supposed to descend.[10][11] "Bartholomew" de Criol witnessed the confirmation charter of Henry, Count of Eu to Battle Abbey before 1140.[12]

I follow you. Medlands proves the existence of Robert d'Eu ("Jr.") which I linked above. Medlands does not show any wife or children for Robert, Jr.

So imho, Bertram is fake and I see you already disconnected. Yay! :)

The de Criol family did exist and some used Eu arms.

https://archive.org/details/normanpeopleand00unkngoog/page/142/mode...

Yeah, I saw the Wikipedia article for Bertram (d. 1256) but he's somewhat irrelevant, having been born 175+/- years later. And most of the info on him is purely speculative and/or sketchy. In other words, I don't see any evidence of Robert d'Eu Jr. having any wife or children.

It explains the pedigree though perhaps. At some point look for where it originates - 1800s? 1990s? My vote is the Ancestral File, submitted pedigree.

(Quoting your source): In 1086 [Ashburnham aka de Crioll] belonged to Robert, Count of Eu [Sr., presumably], from whom it was held by Robert de Cruel [Jr., I suppose] (Domesd. 18).

The same Robert held salt-works there, and lands in Bozhill and Hou (Ibid.).

SIMON de Criol, his son [source?], had, REGINALD de Esseburnham, who held two fees of the Earl of En, 1165 (Lib. Nig.), and whose son, STEPHEN de Ashbumham, confirmed to Battle Abbey the gift of lands at Hou and Denne, and of the salt-works granted by Reginald, his father (Mon. Angl.), and sold lands, as Stephen de Cuell, to Robertsbridge Abbey (Mon. i. 916).

The name frequently occurs in the 12th cent in connection with this family as Cruel, Crieul, and other forms ; and was the same as Criol or Kyriel, a Norman baronial family in Kent.

It derived from Robert, Count of Eu, whose younger son, Robert, obtained from his father part of Criol, or Crieul, near Eu. His father had been in possession of Criol previously, as appears by one of his charters to the Abbey of Treport (Gall. Christ zi. col. 13 Instr.).

___________________________

From that we find no Bartram or Bartholomew. The author refers to a son, Simon de Criol, without citing any source for that claim. Which is odd, since he included a several good primary sources for some of the other claims on the same topic.

We need more information on this alleged Simon. I'm confident it is mostly factual, but too sketchy to use without further research.

There was one or more Simon Criol, but I gather none were Robert's son.

Maybe you could check out Stirnet, they have some info filed under "criol1". I don't have an account with them, so I can't see it.

I think real genealogy begins with the Wikipedia Bertram & his father John.

https://www.stirnet.com/genie/data/british/cc4rz/criol1.php Draft

  • Robert de Criol m. ?? (dau of Osbern, son of Letard de Popeshall)
    • 1. Nicholas or Bertram de Criol ( sources conflict)
      • A. Simon or Bertram de Criol
        • i. John de Criol or Kyrriel (d 1229) m. Margery de Spelmoden (dau/heir of John de Spelmoden)
          • a. Sir Bertram de Criol of Croxton Castle (Leicesterhire), Sheriff of Kent (also of Essex & Hertfordshire) (a 1231, 1238, Keeper of Dover & Rochester Castles)

Stirnet cites:

Main source(s): 'The History and Antiquities of the County of Leicester' (John Nichols, vol 2 part 1 (1795 - or 1971, ISBN 0.85409.688.4), 'Pedigree of Criol', p147), 'A Corner of Kent' (J.R. Planché, 1864, p291+), Visitation (Huntingdonshire, 1619, 'Kryell') with a little input/support from 'The Dormant and Extinct Baronage of England' (T.C. Banks, vol 1, 1807, 'Criol', p278+), referred to above as 'Baronage', and further input (shown in italics) from various web sites

I reverted the first Bertram’s name back to the original Robert de Criol.

Descent from him on Geni is pretty much as Stirnet has it. There’s a genealogical controversy at Bertram the Great’s son Nicholas; Wikipedia has him as a relative; everyone else has as a son; Stirnet caveats he could be a brother. I also edited out the name Bertram lll because I see no reference to it. And only one wife is supported (Emma by Stirnet).

Here are those three profiles:

Bertram ‘Great Lord of Kent’ de Criol & Emma de Kennett as parents of Nicholas ‘the elder’ de Criol

“Criol/Kyryel lawsuit dated 1279” (Jan 3, 2019) https://groups.google.com/g/soc.genealogy.medieval/c/x4Kkpq6FaEU/m/... Below is a list of the 17th Century New World immigrants that descend from Joan d'Auberville and her 2nd husband, Nicholas de Criol the elder (died c.1272): William Bladen, Francis Dade, Gabriel, Roger & Sarah Ludlow, John Oxenbridge.

I think Robert d’Eu as progenitor of the de Criol descent comes from a misreading of the Duchess of Cleves of the Battle Abbey Rolls:
