    'William Belward, lord of a moiety of Malpas, said to have married a daughter of Hugh Kevelioc, earl of Chester.'

    Hugh de Kevelioc, earl of Chester lived 1147-1181, and could not have been the father of William's wife unless the estimated years for William and his children are out by about half a century.
