Nicholas Gregson was our immigrating ancestor. After his arrival in America, I can trace our family with records here. Before his arrival in America, I am completely relying on the research of others, and choosing to believe them when they state that they have seen the records in the canons for themselves. I have a lot more information, including some questions on the reliability of this, on the post about the Gregson Coat Of Arms found here: http://heathersgen.blogspot.com/2017/05/the-gregson-coat-of-arms.html
===========================
Robert M. Reid purchased a 32 page typed booklet from the College Of Arms, titled "History Of The Gregson Family of Whalley, Lancashire". Reid then, personally, visited the Whalley Parish Register, as well as the Registers of the Parish churches listed, and examined the records himself.

scroll down on the left and there is a pdf file labeled the Gregson family
This family connects only Waaaaaaayyyyyyy back, at #7 above, Arthur Gregorysonne. But there is some very good research in the first few pages.
Reid, who compiled the above 3 pages, references the "32 typed pages" of The History of The Gregson Family of Whalley, Lancashire. This is available on ancestry, if you have subscriptions that includes England. Fortunately, I had access and was able to download all the pages - which are actually 64, although only 32 are numbered. (every other page is not numbered) I've compiled them into a pdf file - email me and I'll gladly send it to you, especially if you are willing to help me interpret it all and sort it all out! :-)
