  Notes	Walter was the son of Elias Giffard and Bertha FitzRichard/FitzPons. He and his parents are named in the the a record of the period 1148-1179. He lived at Boyton, Wiltshire. He and his brother Gilbert are recorded in 1177.[1] His birth date is not known and has been guesstimated. Note The following is excerpted from a post to SGM, 2 Jun 2002, by Ivor West: "The Boyton line and the Brimsfield line of John Giffard, 1231 - 1299, come together at the common ancestor, Elias II of Brimsfield. Elias III and Walter of Boyton, father of Hugh, were brothers. This makes John Giffard of Brimsfield second cousin to bishop Godfrey of Boyton and to Willam, the suggested father of Margaret. Because of the longer generations in the Brimsfield line, John and Margaret would seem to be related as alleged, in the third and fourth degrees ( John - Elias IV - Elias III - Elias II ), ( Margaret - William - Hugh - Walter - Elias II )."[2] Sources ↑ G Andrews Moriarty.
