Before 1096 Elis I had succeeded his father Osbern Giffard, the Domesday tenant of 
Brimpsfield, Stoke, Rockhampton, Elston, Orcheston, etc. [Complete Peerage V:639 
note (c)]

--------------

The following post-em from Mike Lysell, mlysell AT comcast.net, (which I believe Mike 
posted under the wrong Osbern), shows who one source has for Osbern's father (I 
have changed to agree with Mike's source):

Jim - Carl Boyer in "Medieval English Ancestors of Certain Americans", page 104, 
shows Osbert (Osbern Bolbec) Giffard as the first son of Walter Giffard, born 1010. He 
shows a birth date of about 1040 and a date of death as "by 1095". He states "the 
Lord of Brimsfield, Gloucestershire, he was a Domesday tenent there in 1086 as well 
as in Stoke, Rockinghamshire, Elston and Orcheston [CP, 5:639c].

At this time, I've not tried to confirm this through other sources. I thought you'd be 
interested.

Boyer cites Vernon M. Noor’s 'Some Early English Pedigrees' as a source.

Note: CP appears to be correct in that the town is certainly now known as Brimpsfield 
(with a "p"), and was entered as "Brimesfelde" in the Domesday Book.
