Crests were originally adopted by those who were "of tournament rank" and someone of a lesser degree would not have presumed to a crest. However, the rot probably started with the rise of the Tudors and the merchantile familes who were enobled at that period and later and now it would be most unusual for a coat of arms not to include a crest! It is extremely rare that anyone "earns" a coat of arms. The usual case is that, having satisfied the heralds that one is to be considered a "gentleman" (whatever that may imply), the appropriate design is granted to the applicant and his heirs male in perpetuity, in exchange for a suitable sum of money paid to the exchequer. The rules governing arms vary considerably in various parts of the world, but I seem to remember that there was a New Zealand Herald who was appointed some years ago, perhaps with responsibility to Garter King of Arms at the College of Heralds in London. If not, then you may apply for a grant of arms from the appropriate office in Britain or the republic of Ireland, if your forebears came from there. ------------------------------------------------------------------- William Jervois Resident Genealogist, Albany Museum Somerset St, Grahamstown, South Africa, 6139 Tel: (0461) 22312 Fax: (0461) 22398 e-mail: International Code: 27-461- http://www.ru.ac.za/departments/am/geneal.html ______________________________ ------------------------------ X-Message: #4 Date: 2 Oct 1997 03:06:07 -0700 From: (Wayne Bealey) To: Message-ID: <> Subject: Please 1891 look up Content-Type: multipart/alternative; This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ------=_NextPart_000_0002_01BCE6AB.3A7B81A0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable I would very much appreciate any one who has access to the 1881/1891 = census information looking up the following address.

As I imagine that your ancestor may have emigrated from the vicinity of Glasgow, I had a look through the I.G.I microfiches for the counties in that area. There are plenty of Burrows, but Burris was only recorded in Dundonald. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------- William Jervois Resident Genealogist, Albany Museum Somerset St, Grahamstown, South Africa, 6139 Tel: (0461) 22312 Fax: (0461) 22398 e-mail: International Code: 27-461- http://www.ru.ac.za/departments/am/geneal.html ______________________________ ------------------------------ X-Message: #8 Date: Thu, 2 Oct 1997 11:06:47 +0100 From: David Lund <> To: Message-ID: <KNK+> Subject: Re: Commander Hugh STRANGE, R.N.

You won't find any of them in the DNB which doesn't usually reach down to the country squire level. If these people were patrons of the living, their families would probably have some local connections. A good first place to look would be in the more traditional histories of the place such as the Victoria County History, and any 19th century county history. The VCH for Lincs is not complete so you may not be lucky here... A second line would be to look in Burke's Landed Gentry. Certainly you will find the RUDGE family that owned land at Evesham in there. The first two on your list were Baronets. You will find pedigrees of their families in a moderna Peerage and Baronetage if they are still going, in Burke's Extinct Baronetages if they died out before c.1840, and in old Baronetages if they died out in between time. -- Barney Tyrwhitt-Drake Drake Software web site at http://www.tdrake.demon.co.uk/ ______________________________ ------------------------------ X-Message: #12 Date: 2 Oct 97 13:22:27 GMT From: "John Mason" <> To: Message-ID: <01bccf33$2f6d3860$> Subject: Re: Olverston v Ulverston?

Most flattering. I do try to give a picture of places because I recognise that most questionners will not know the background to the straight answer. I started this when I was on the Research panel of Glasgow & West of Scotland FHS. I strongly recommend anyone answering a question to give the background, after all we are trying to get an understanding of the lives of our ancestors not just BMD. Now Cambusnethan is not so easy for me. It is quite a large parish with its main town being Wishaw. Wishaw is south of Motherwell and east of the the Clyde. During the steel boom era it was much involved with the steel industry though that is almost all gone. There are other manufaturers - some long standing but even they are getting thinner on the ground. The parish is largely rural. I don't know the dedication of the parish church, but a letter to the Parish Church (Church of Scotland), Wishaw, Lanarkshire, Scotland should get there (I don't have a 'phone directory for that area). In the 1800s it would have been presbyterian. There are two possible FHS that I know (there may be others) Glasgow & West of Scotland FHS Unit 15 32 Mansfield Street Glasgow G11 5QP Scotland (Mark for : Research Co-ordinator) Hamilton & District FHS c/o Reference Department Hamilton Central Library 98 Cadzow Street Hamilton ML3 6HQ Scotland I would try the latter first. Now more personally I am interested in Brownlie too. I will e-mail something when I have dug it out. If you don't hear in a month - nag me.

Most people resented the space taken up by purely Irish material in the newsgroup as it was then. I had no strong opinion on the matter. but there seems little point in setting up such a system and then acting contrary to its intentions, just because some people cannot be bothered to look at the ireland newsgroup.
