Dear Donald:  Andrew Sinclair says they were:Hubert Sinclair, Earl of Rye, and four of his sons, Radulph, Hubert, Adam and  Eudo.  Walderne, Earl of St Clare with his three sons, Richard, Britel and William.  He adds the Earl of Senlis, then notes that "he was a Frenchman and not a Norman"  He says that "it is not improbable" thatSenlis added his name with his sons on the Roll of De Sancto Claro, but there is no record to support this.  Note that Hubert and his sons were Englishmen from East Sussex, while his brother and nephews were Norman.  This and much more from Andrew's book The Sinclairs of England.
