According to Maddison's Lincoln****re Pedigrees (HSP 55:1313),
Catherine Bray was the dau. of Thomas [or John] Bray of Middle***. In
1524 she was the executrix for the will of her late husband Thomas
Welby, who was declared a lunatic in 1521 (having made a will dated 6
Sept 1520 - while he was still sane?) and had been 8 years old in
1496. Catherine remarried NN Hall.
Joan/Jane Halliwell was the wife of Sir Edmund Bray, 1st lord Bray -
not Thomas or John Bray.
