He was the son and heir of Gilbert de Neville (d.1166/9), 1st feudal baron of Ashby, to whom King Henry II had granted the manors of Ashby and Toynton in 1162. Gilbert's lands were valued at £15 per annum and were held by military service of one knight.
At some time before 1176 he married (as her second husband) Emma de Bulmer (d.1208), widow of Geoffrey de Valognes, daughter of Bertram de Bulmer (d.pre-1166) and heiress of her brother William de Bulmer (d.1176/8). Emma's father held 3 1/5 knight's fees and in the mid-twelfth century his estate was the joint largest in the "dominion of Saint Cuthbert" (i.e. County Durham). She brought to her husband several estates, including Brancepeth Castle (built by the Bulmer family) in County Durham and Sheriff Hutton Castle (built by Bertram de Bulmer, near Bulmer, the original seat of the family), Raskelf and Sutton-in-the-Forest, all in Yorkshire.
