02. Richard de Davenport, [1] born abt. 1136, shown as son of Orme in Ormerod's pedigree [3:68], which was based on deeds, Pleas and Recognizance Rolls, inquisitions post mortem and other evidence. He married Amibilia Venables, daughter of the 2nd Gilbert Venables and sister of Hugh Venables, rector of Eccleston in 1188, whose acknowledged minority gives the only means of calculating the time of Orme de Davenport. He was appointed supreme forester of the earl's forests of Leek and Macclesfield, Cheshire, sometime between 1153 and 1181. (Note: Omerod's History of Chester inserted Thomas de Davenport as next generation followed by another Richard de Davenport.)

This source incorrectly names Amabilia as dau. of Gilber, not William.
