Relationships
Father: Robert de Meynill.
This relationship is given by Timson (p. xli). A pedigree from a plea roll of 12 Richard 2 (1389) (Wrottesley p. 175) makes Emma the daughter of the Robert de Meynill who was the father of Isabella, but pedigrees from Michaelmas 15-16 Edward 1 (1287) (Wrottesley p. 503) and from 9 Edward 2 (1316) (Wrottesley p. 534), which are presumably more accurate, make Emma this Robert’s sister. Nichols (3:2:707) states that the father of Robert (and therefore Emma) was also named Robert (Meysnil, the son of Gilbert Meysnil, of Dalby).
Mother: Isabella, daughter of Nigel of Rampton.
This relationship is given by Timson (p. xliv). It is recorded in the Blyth Priory Cartulary (no. 149).
Spouse: Matthew de Hathersage (died after July 1218).
This relationship is given by Yeatman (p. 339) and by Timson (p. xli), who notes: "Matthew de Haverseg (in a document in the Dodsworth Collection -- probably 16 or 17th Century -- see B 105) is stated to have married an unnamed daughter of Robert (II) de Meinil. Matthew de Haverseg occurs in 1193. His wife's name is given as Emma."
Children:
Matthew de Hathersage (died 1259).
Cecilia de Hathersage married Nigel de Longford.
