Additionally:
Unknown de Birkin William Ferrer, working from Yorkshire Charters, states that Robert was a witness to the charter of his father-in-law Adam de Birkin, making gift by a charter of a buck or doe every year from his park of Birkin to Pontefract : "Hiis testibus, Roberto le Vavasur, Thoma filio Petri, Johanne f[ilio] Petri, Petro et Rogero fratribus suis,..."
The estimated birth of Unknown Birkin is 1157, based on an assumption of marriage in 1175 at age 18, and the birth of her daughter the following year in 1176.
Eyton in Antiquities of Shropshire follows Ferrer: Maud le Vavasour was the daughter of Robert le Vavasour, deputy sheriff of Lancashire (1150–1227), and his first wife, an unnamed daughter of Adam de Birkin.
