Her parentage from CP is questioned and Gordon Kirkemo has come upwith the suggesiton that she might be the dau. of Robert camerarius, chamberlain to the earl of Richmond and that she then m. Richard de Cormeilles:

I can't resolve the conflict (though CP does have a definite citation that's
meant to show that the Robert de Lisle of c. 1207 was a grandson of Ralph
the sewer, and DD gives enough references that the evidence may become
clearer).

I do think the chronology of the DD version is very strange. Combining the
entry for Robert Camerarius on p. 200 with that for Ricardus de Cormeilles
on pp. 410, 411, it seems we have (with other siblings, omitted):

1. Odo, Domesday tenant 1086

2. His son Robert, succeeded by 1129/30

3. His daughter Beatrice, married first to Richard de Cormeilles (active by
1134, d. either 1175/6 [p. 411] or 1177 [p. 200]), then remarried to Robert
de Lisle and (if CP is to be believed) bearing him a child.

I don't know which bit is likely to be wrong, but I find it very difficult
to believe.

Camerarius is certainly latin for Chamberlain, but Cormeilles is a place
name (Eure, arrondissement  Point-Audemer, according to DP 155).
