- http://www.tudorplace.com.ar/GREY7.htm#Edmund%20GREY%20of%20Merton1
Member of Parliament for Lynn 1545. Educated Gray's Inn, admitted 1524. Treasurer, Gray's Inn 1540, Lent Reader 1543. Commissioner gaol delivery, Norwich 1535; other commissions, Norfolk 1540-death; chief steward, Buckenham priory, Norfolk by 1535; steward, sheriff's court Norwich Mar 1536-Aug. 1540, recorder 13 Aug 1540 - death; justice of the peace Norfolk 1540-death. «b»Edmund Grey«/b» did not live to emulate his father-in-law the judge, whom he survived by only three years, but he made his mark locally, being retained as counsel by both Lynn and Norwich. His representation of Norwich in a dispute between the city and the dean heard before the Council early in 1539 may mean that he was the man elected with «b»Augustine Steward«/b» to the Parliament of that year, before the city received «u»«b»Cromwell <http://www.tudorplace.com.ar/Bios/ThomasCromwell(1EEssex).htm>«/u»«/b»'s letter asking for the return of «b»John Godsalve«/b»: the exchange would have been smoothed by their membership of the same inn of court, and «b»Grey«/b»'s speedy promotion to the recordership could have been a reward for his accommodation in the matter. Although he was not to sit for Norwich he is likely to have favoured the choice of his kinsman «b»Richard Catlyn«/b» as a fellow-Member of the Parliament in 1545. Nothing is known about his part in the House. By a will made nine days before his death on 20 Aug 1547 «b»Grey«/b» provided for his children and named his mother-in-law, his kinsman «b»Sir Edmund Bedingfield«/b» and «b»Richard Sandell«/b» executors and «u»«b»Sir Richard Southwell <http://www.tudorplace.com.ar/Bios/RichardSouthwell1.htm>«/u»«/b» supervisor; in the following Oct the wardship of his 17 year-old son was acquired by «b»Thomas Gawdy«/b».
