I've never seen a marriage to a (?) de Centerville. Possibly because you list no 
source, this is speculative or maybe from a less than reliable source like Ancestry.com 
or familysearch.org? If so, no need to respond.

Few Norman families of the elventh century were more powerful than those of Tosny 
and Beaumont, but the same period also witnessed the rise of many lesser houses, 
and of these the first family of Vernon may be taken as an example. When, some time 
between 1032 and 1035 Duke Robert I [of Normandy] gave land to Saint-Wandrille at 
Sierville, some ten miles north of Rouen, he did so with the consent of a certain 'Hugh 
of Vernon,' and other documents show that the family of Hugh had already become 
possessed of other estates in this district, for in 1053 William of Vernon, together with 
his father Hugh, who had by now become a monk, gave to Holy Trinity, Rouen, land at 
Martainville within five miles of the city. It is possible that the full lordship of Vernon 
passed to this family sometime between these dates. Early in the reign of Duke William 
he had given Vernon to his cousin Guy of Burgundy, and Guy's disgrace and forfeiture 
after 1047 may well have provided the opportunity for the rise of the new family. [Ref:
