Notes for William FitzNeel Lord of Halton
Keats-Rohan has a long-ish article on him in which "Halton" is not mentioned once, though the other details of Agnes and Eustace FitzJohn are clearly stated. She names him clearly as "Willelm filius Nigelli", though gives no information on Nigel apart from a reference to "William fitz Nigel de Haga" where Haga is "de la Haye, of which there are several in dept Manche".

He had a son William who dsp 1149 and Agnes is referred to as the "principal heiress".

Walter de Gand refers to William fitz Nigel as 'nepos meus' so there may have been some relationship (all Keats-Rohan).
