The biography on William de Chesney, Sheriff on wikepedia gives this:
Robert FitzWalter de Windsor, Sheriff of Norfolk and Sybil de Chesney, and a younger brother of John de Chesney.[2] Sybil was the daughter of Ralph de Chesney.[3] Robert fitzWalter was lord of Horsford in Norfolk,[2] which was originally held by Walter de Caen, Robert's father.

I am not sure but I feel that  the information given  linking him  as being the son of  [Walter de Caen, Lord of Sibton Walter de Caen, Lord of Sibton]  is wrong -  but  this will keep the link viable  just in case proof is found that this association is correct.and  someone else has linke Walter de Cane and being the father of   [Sir Ralph de Chesney, I Ralph de Chesney (de Quesnay), l, Sir]

= = = = = = = = The connection ot Walter de Caen being his father is found as such:

...Sybil, daughter of Ralf I, married Robert fitz Walter, son of Walter de Caen, a Domesday tenant. Sybil and Robert seem to have had at least five sons :

  • Roger, who died without heirs.
  • John, the sheriff of Norfolk, who died in 1146, also childless.
  • William de Caisneto, to whom we will return later.
  • Elias.
  • 'Peter.

After the death of Sybil, Robert fitz Walter married Aveline, daughter of Ernulf de Hesdin and widow of Alan fitz Flaald, by whom she was ancestress of the Stewarts of Scotland and the Fitz-Alans of Arundel.By Aveline Robert had a daughter Margaret, ‘who married Hamo de St. Clair, and apparently a son Simonde Norwich, who was also called ‘ de Oaisneto,’ although_ there was no Ohesney blood in his veins... pg. 26 of the SUSSEX DOMESDAY TENANTS.
