Dear Adrian and Richard:
The name of Philip de Gay's wife, Cecily/Sedzilia, comes from a court record
which record dates about 1185. I don't have the specific citation for this
record in front of me.
As for Philip de Gay's parentage being Stephen de Gay and Aline Pipard, this is
based on the descent of Aline's inheritance in Wiltshire which passed from
Walter Pipard (father of Aline) to Aline Pipard (wife of John le Marshal and
Stephen de Gay), then to Philip de Gay, then to Philip de Gay's two daughters,
Aline (Basset) and Cecily. Although Complete Peerage expresses some
reservations, I am confident that Walter Pipard was the father of John le
Marshal's first wife, Aline, as the Pipe Rolls showed he owed money for having
the lands and heir of Walter Pipard. .
William Marshall, Earl of Pembroke, was the son of John le Marshall's second
wife, Sibyl. As such, William Marshall and Philip de Gay would have been
step-siblings of a sort. John le Marshal divorced Aline Pipard to marry
Sibyl.
I have no particulars on Stephen de Gay and would appreciate any information
which anyone might be able to share regarding him.
My information on the Gay family is based on original research on my part.
Eventually I hope to publish an article on the matter. Best always, Douglas
Richardson
