Sorry it took so long to get bact to you. I just looked i
t up again and Bray and Maidenhead are small communities o
n the Thames River and near London. Most Glazebrooks i hav
e found  are along a corricor between Manchester and Liverp
ool. In fact Glazebrook England is on the railroad line bet
ween these two destinations.
(Research):On the internet, someone has traced this famil
y back into the 1300's in France to the name De Che Roi.
