Hi Mike, Thanks for your response. I hope that you can connect your GRAYLE family with the GRAYLEs, who were in Malmesbury in earlier centuries. There is a reference to a Mr. Grayle, who is said to have been a clothier in Malmesbury, in The History of the Town of Malmesbury, and of its Ancient Abbey (1805) by John Marks Moffatt. The reference is on page 161. If you go to Google Books and put "Malmesbury""Grayle" in the search you will be able to see the full page of this 1805 book with the reference. You will also see other references to Grayle and Malmesbury as a result of the search. For instance, in House of Commons papers, Volume 21, Part 2 (1835) there's a section on GRAYLE'S CHARITY at the bottom of 1334 and at the top of page 1335. You will be able to see the full page views in Google Books. Josephine -- Josephine Jeremiah www.ianandjo.dsl.pipex.com
