On 6 July 1380, Elizabeth, widow of William Gilbert was granted administration of her husband's estate.

Elizabeth Champernon was the wife of William Gilbert and their son William Gilbert is named in the inquistion post mortem of her nephew Otes Champernon:

SOMERSET. Inquisition. Yeovil. 23 April 1423.

Origins

Note: Vivian (p. 180) also names a daughter, Elizabeth, wife of William Gilbert, but also shows her as daughter of a much later Oliver Champernoun and his wife Eglina de Valletort. The latter relationship is the correct one.
