~Cokayne's Complete Peerage, 2nd Edition, (Tregoz), Vol. XIIB, pp. 17, William de Tregoz was probably the father of Robert de Tregoz. William owed the service of one and one-half knights in cotentin in 1172.

~The Topographer and Genealogists, 1853, Vol. II, p. 125-128, shows Robert Tregoz as the brother of William, while Cockney's Complete Peerage Vol. XIIB, p. 17, gives this Robert as the son of William, rather than brother.
