Roger de Pitres, Sheriff of Gloucester - FitzOsborne?

Using the history > facts > compare hyperlink from the “about,” I see “FitzOsborne” was manually added to the profile as birth surname & last name on 3/12/2021.

As you comment, there is no claim or justification for this name or a father called Osborne in profile notes, citations, attached sources or documents.

I reverted the name to original values and locked fields.

Ah, it’s from this Source (tree)

Roger De Pitres, Sheriff of Gloucester Fitzosborne

Which has good notes but again the fitzOsbourne is unexplained.

Dae Powell, "Ancestral Glimpses", database, Genealogy Online (https://www.genealogieonline.nl/ancestral-glimpses/I27707.php : accessed April 1, 2024), "Roger FitzOsborne de Pitres, Sheriff of Gloucester (1035-1083)".

Is there a reason we shouldn’t have Durand of Gloucester as his brother?

Perhaps the Osborn name came into play in this way:

Career

Roger had been a protégé of William FitzOsbern and owed much of his landed wealth to this association. After the death of Earl William in 1071, Roger was more closely associated with the crown. [2]

South Cerney Manor

"Earl W" -- William fitz Osbern, earl of Hereford, who died in Flanders in February 1071, gave the South Cerner manor to Roger the sheriff, Walter's father. [3]

Does anyone know who this is?

Robert of Gloucester de Pitres

Right, the daughter names seem to resonate, but generations are off?

Perhaps there’s match up down the tree.

Roger & his wife had [three] children:

a) WALTER of Gloucester (-1129 or after[319]). C
b) HERBERT (-[before 1101]).
c) [--- . Her parentage and marriage are established by the charter dated to [1123] which records that "Walt de Gloec" gave Little Hereford in fee to "Willo de Mara nepoti suo"[343], although it is always possible that "nepos" should be interpreted in this document as indicating a more remote relationship than nephew of Walter of Gloucester. m --- de la Mare, son of ---.]

Brother

2. DURAND [de Gloucester] (-[1101], bur Gloucester). … Herefordshire[345]. m ---. The name of Durand’s wife is not known. Durand & his wife had [one child]:

I added brother Durand of Gloucester & son Eudo and daughter N.N. de Pitres & her husband N.N. de la Mare to complete the tree.
