  === Life Sketch ===
  [Three siblings], parents not known. From a chronological point of view, they could have been children either of John or Thomas de Grey who are named above. The reference in the document dated 9 Mar 1240, quoted below, to Eva de Grey granting property to Robert de Grey, son of Hawise, suggests that Eva held a position of seniority in the Grey family relative to Robert. This could mean either (1) that Robert was her cousin, son of a younger brother of her father, or (2) that Robert’s mother Hawise was Eva’s younger sister. The difficulty with case (2) is the absence of documentation which points to Eva and Hawise being co-heiresses of John de Gray. Case (1) is therefore the more likely case. Richard de Grey could not have been the father of these three children, as suggested by Blomefield:
