"Lazonby was brought into relations with the priory of Lanercost by Ada Engayne and afterwards bestowed by her son Hugh de Morville, and that of Denton by Buethbarn, the lord of the place. Ada Engayne granted an annuity of three marks out of the revenues of the churches of Burgh-by-Sands and Lazonby for the souls of William Engayne her father and Eustachia her mother, and for the soul of Simon her late husband, to which Christian, Bishop of Withern and Robert, Archdeacon of Carlisle were parties." [Reg. of Lanercost, MS v. 4-6; ii 15-16; iii 1-2; xii 26] VCH Cumberland, v. 2 p. 153
Ada was the daughter of William, son and heir of Ranulph Engaine of Idsell, Cumberland and Ibria Trevers, daughter of Robert de Trevers, Lord of Burgh-by-Sands. Does anyone know who Eustachia, William's wife was? [Ref: Rosie Bevan 2 Jul 2001 message to soc.genealogy.medieval, subject: Ada Engayne]
