Anglo French Clay's

Here is the link to the original Anglo - French website where you can find much more information go to - https://www.thesocietyofanglo-frenchclays.eu/ 

The first French  Clay we have recorded in England is Walterus De Clai in 1086, in the document, The Cambridge Inquisition, it is also spelt Cleis. He is described as a Frank.

In her book, Domesday people. Prof Keats - Rohan surmises that Walterus may have come from the Normandy village of Clais.

Given the date 1086, might we be able to suggest that Walterus came over with the invasion force of 1066 ?
