Jim, I don't find these Grays [de Grai, etc.],in DD; I'll check Moor's Knights of Edward I as soon as I get a chance; the time period may be too late for the former resource. Kevin Just a thought--Kevin, if you don't mind me asking, any chance DD has anything on this family in Northumberland (WARK or WERKE, also Heton) that might help fill in these blanks?

Being "of great antiquity in Northumberland" doesn't say much as to when this may have occurred. We have the same problem with the Gray family in Scotland. That is that, prior to Sir John Gray of Broxmouth we don't have an accurate record of this family either. All we can determine from the armorial bearings is that Sir John Gray of Broxmouth was heir to the senior branch of the family while Thomas Gray of Wark was heir to a cadet branch. I appreciate you looking though--thanks. Jim
