Sir William Wray, MP in 1639 edit

Latest comment: 7 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

The 1878 return gives the first member in 1639 as "Sir William Wray, knt. and bart.", of Glentworth, Lincolnshire. Sir William Wray, 1st Baronet, of Glentworth died in 1617 and the holder of the baronetcy in 1639 was his son John. I think this must be a mistake for Sir William Wrey, 2nd Baronet, of Trebeigh, Cornwall. His election to the Irish Parliament is not mentioned in Cokayne's Complete Baronetage (vol. II, p. 41) but he was son-in-law of Edward Chichester, 1st Viscount Chichester, which makes the Belfast connection likely. Opera hat (talk) 22:24, 14 April 2017 (UTC)Reply
