Matt, Hope this reaches you OK. I see you have the REAY name connection like me! Where are you with your research. I have quite an extensive lineage in Northumberland with plenty of connections for the REAY name. One line of our resesearch has got back from a REAY/CHARLTON marriage all the way back to William the Conqueror and therefore theoretically to Charlemagne. I live in West Wickham, Kent but I was born in Gateshead. Been down here since 1961

PS I understand there is anothe REAY member using the name as a password. Do you know him as well?
