Your Grey Man sounds as though he was a really interesting guy. As far as I know a Grey Man was and is someone who hides in the background and doesn't give anything away which would fit in with the census if he didn't want to divulge info. Just checked and it's does show up online in The Urban Dictionary. Hope this helps. -------------------------------
