He was an adult by 1102. They had four sons, Roger, Ralph, Hugh, and Simon, and one daughter, Isabel (wife of Walter Fitz Richard). He served in the army of King Henry II at the Battle of Tinchebrai in 1106. In 1123 Ralph confirmed the gifts of his mother, Isabel, to the nuns of Fontevraud. At an unknown date, he gave his land in the little hall in Westley Waterless, Cambridgeshire to Agnes de Valoines. RALPH DE TONY died about 1126, and was buried in Châtillon-les-Conches Abbey in Normandy. Sometime in the period, 1141-48, his widow, Alice granted the church of Walthamstow, Essex to the canons of the Priory of Holy Trinity, Aldgate. At an unknown date, she also gave 1/2 hide in Durnford, Wilshire to the Templars.
