Laura, Philip, Nevilla et al (et Cod) I was poking about on Nigel Batty-Smith's website where he has a copy of the Visitation of Dorset 1623. My Irish family claimed to be from there - I think a lot of early settlers came from Bristol Somerset Dorset etc. Our Irish don't even get a mention in Those Disclaymed to be Gentlemen. If you have a look at this page <http://www.ukgenealogyarchives.org.uk/england/Dorset/visitations/p56.html > it gives little trees for two Grey or Gray families and one uses the Christian name Angell which could be just another surname or a variant of Anquetil. Back then I guess even gents might have dodged being Angel to friends and family aside from the nearest and dearest of course! Maybe just another straw in the wind. cheers David On Jan 11, 2008, at 1:51 PM, [email protected] wrote: >> David, Philip, Nevilla, et al: >> >> I found a 190-page document entitled "Descendants of Bernard "The >> Dane," and on page 132, it had this to say: >> snip >> No mention of Gray in this file.
