=== '''Note''': The maiden name of John Tuch ===
'''Note''': The maiden name of John Tuchet's wife and mother of their son John (born April 1371) has not been proven. In Douglas Richardson's ''Plantagenet Ancestry,'' he shows her as Maud ?Grey (p 362). Discussions in Rootsweb GEN-MEDIEVAL forum in 2002 and 2006 appear to support that she was the daughter of Reynold Grey and his wife, Eleanor le Strange. Yet ''Royal Ancestry'' (published 2013) lists John's wife asMaud ____ and only mentions Grey in the fine print (see [[Tuchet-10|his profile]], the [http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Tuchet-10#Disputed_Wives Disputed Wives] section).

: In a related vein, Peter Sutton and I have been an on-going discussion on the identity of the parentage of Maud, wife of John Tuchet (died1372). An ancient Willoughby pedigree identifies Maud as the "daughter of Reginald, and sister of Sir John de Grey." Peter suggested that Maud Tuchet might be a member of the Grey family of Ruthin. I recently learned that Reynold Grey and his wife, Eleanor le Strange, had a son,John. If so, it would appear would appear that
: Reynold and Eleanor are Maud Tuchet's parents.
: ...
: Moreover, I find another piece which points to Maud Tuchet being a member of this Grey family. If Maud was the daughter of Reynold and Eleanor Grey, then she would be the sister to Ida Grey who married John Cokayne...
