ancestor: Early 1800s Powderham Branch?
comments: I am seeking to identify a coat of arms as follows:
Crest - coronet with ostrich plumes (no dolphin)
Motto - Ubi lapsus Quid feci
Shield - divided into two halves by vertical line (impaled)
Husband's side (LHS) Courtenay shield with gold ground, 3 red roundels with the addition of 5-pointed star (mullet)in red. This latter may be a 'mark of cadency' implying the shield is that of the 3rd son of the current family head.
Wife's side (RHS) Unknown shield with silver ground, blue chevron, above which is a horizontal row of 4 blue dagger-like crosses pointing downwards.
Can anyone help with names or possible dates please?
Please send all requests for Courtenay related information to the email address above.
Possibly the arms of Hollins of Moseley, Staffordshire - Argent a chevron azure in chief four crosses formée fitchée of the second.
ReplyDeleteCrest: A dexter hand pointing with two fingers to a star proper.
