Offices Held
Parlimentarian
Main residence: Sutton in Chiswick, Mdx.
Notes
It is unlikely that the London draper, Thomas Bray (fl. 1403), sat as a shire knight in 1391, although the two men may have been related (CCR, 1402-5, p. 160). Another Thomas Bray was being sued for debt and breaches of the peace in Kent in 1411 and 1412 (ibid. 1409-13, pp. 190, 329), but again no connexion with the subject of this biography can be proved.
