Richard Grey, 6th Lord Grey of Wilton, is alleged to have married Blanche de la Vache, daughter and heiress of Philip de la Vache. The source for Blanche's parentage appears to be G.F. Beltz, Memorials of the Most Noble Order of the Garter (1841): 374-376, who in turn cites as his source "Vinc. No. 20 f. 373 in Coll. Armor." However, it is extremely doubtful that Blanche was Philip de la Vache's daughter, as neither Sir Philip's testament ... nor his will, ... nor the inquisition on his widow's death ... mention or suggest that any children survived his death [Reference: VCH Cambridge 5 (1973): 166]. Moreover, on Sir Philip de la Vache's death, the de la Vache manors fell to his kinswoman ("cousin"), Amy Alberd, wife of John Kirkham, not the Grey family. [Ref: Douglas Richardson SGM 6/10/2003-023644]

granted his manor to several feoffes, presumable to the use, after his own death, of his wife and heir [Ref: Page VCHBucks v2p315]

heir is said to have been his daughter Blanche, first wife of Richard Grey de Wilton, who certainly obtained Vaches Manor [Ref: Page VCHBucks v2p315]
