Robert appears in records from 1118 to 1153. He founded a monastery at Swineshead, Lincs with his son Albert in 1134.

Farrer says Robert's wife was called Maud. Tim Powys-Lybbe cites Katherine Keats-Rohan's Domesday Descendants, 2002, for the statement that Wigod de Brancewell, of Thoresway, Lincs, was Robert Grelley's father-in-law.

A deed of Albert Grelley confirms to Roger fitz Orm [son of Orm fitz Ailward and Emma Grelley] the lands in Ashton and Heaton that Roger had held from Albert's father (not named). The deed is undated, but Farrer dates it to 1153-62, and says "there seems to be no doubt" that the Albert named here is the Albert who died about 1162, ie. son of Robert. If correct, this would confirm Farrar's view that Emma (wife of Orm fitz Ailward) was sister not granddaughter of Robert. However, others take the view that the confirmation was issued by Albert junior.
