Dear Adrian,

Thanks for that - the problem was typographical, not geographical.

The association with Shere (Surrey) likely helped lead to the
marital association with the de Fay (Faye) family of Bramley (Surrey).
Roger de Clere of Shere, Surrey and Sinnington, Yorks. - son of Ralph
'II' de Clere - married Maud de Fay (Faye), elder sister and coheiress
of John and dau. of Ralph de Fay (Faye) of Bramley by Beatrice de
Turnham. This is the de Faye line of prior SGM debate, which
apparently leads back to Ralph's grandfather, Raoul de Faye, seigneur
de la Faye-le-Vineuse and Seneschal of Poitou under Eleanor, Duchess of
Aquitaine (his niece). Radulf de Faie was "given the manor of Bromley
[sic] in Surrey by Henry II early in his reign" [DD 454; corrected by
Chris Phillips, noting this was Bramley, Surrey ]. See ES I Band III
Tafel 813, and prior discussions on SGM (J. C. Parsons, et al.).

Cheers,

John
