| At the end of FMG (MS514), before MS515, Hunter comments on the differences between the MSs and what is reported by Ormerod. Hunter identifies William (b c1637, d 1681), shown in MS515 as "of Brase Nose Coll." (Brasenose College, Oxford), as the unnamed vicar of Bolton who heads MS514. Ormerod shows the vicar of Bolton as William's brother Robert, who is not mentioned in FMG. MS514 shows the eldest son of the vicar of Bolton as Robert who inherited Bradley Hall. Hunter notes that he thinks "that Ormerod is right in bringing the latter Gregges not from the Vicar of Bolton, but from the Examiner". | |||||||||||||||

| m. Elizabeth Lightfoot (dau of Christopher Lightfoot of Barrow) | |||||||||||||||
| (1) Ormerod shows Edward bur 13.11.1665, Elizabeth d 03.05.1659. FMG (MS515) shows Edward d 12.03.1636, Elizabeth d 15.10.1658. Together with the differences mentioned above & below, this suggests the possibility of confusion (in at least some of the sources) between different people of similar names. (2) FMG (MS515) shows the following for the eldest son, Robert. |

| (1) | Robert Gregge (bur 19.06.1673, Examiner in Chester) | ||||||||||||||
| (a) Presumably in recognition of the discrepancies regarding his parentage, Robert is the first person mentioned by BLG1952 which does not name his wife. (b) FMG (MS514), which places this Robert 'of Bradley Hall & Chester' (d 1673) as son of the vicar of Bolton by _ Holt, shows him as brother not only of Gregory but also the above-shown Thomas ("ejected from St. Helen's"). It identifies his wife as Jane (d 17.07.1689, dau of James Yates of Mellor). Provisionally, we follow Ormerod in showing that it was his wife, not his mother, who was ... |
