In the Ancestry of Olive Welby is Olive's Paternal Grandmother
Catherine Bray. She married 1st Thomas Welby 1484-1525 and 2ndly John
Hall. Catherine Bray was believed to be closely related to Reginald
Lord Bray who was the supervisor of the will of Thomas Welby father
also named Thomas. Reginald Lord Bray also had wardship of Thomas
Welby.
While searching the great website British History online I came across
this information.

PITSHANGER manor was described as a free tenement in 1423, when it was
held of Ealing manor for rent, relief, and aid. (fn. 56) The demesne
consisted of c. 140 a. stretching northward from Hanger Hill to the
Brent. (fn. 57) Members of the Putelshanger or Pitshanger family
occurred from 1229 and in 1293-4 Robert of Pitshanger fraudulently
claimed woodland at Ealing from the bishop. (fn. 58) The manor was held
by William, son of Thomas Bray, in 1423 (fn. 59) and descended in the
Bray family to Catherine Welby (née Bray) in 1508, (fn. 60) perhaps
the Catherine on whom Pitshanger was settled jointly with her husband
John Hall in 1537, with remainder to her son Thomas Webb prob. (Welby)
