I've recently obtained two copies of this book. The first is a Hardback published by William Kimber in 1962. The second is a condensed version : Redback War Story No.6 is also 1962. Both give a version of the origins of the Cranswick family dated back to 1609 According to this Version William Cranstoun was raised to the peerage in that year. He had three sons who quarrelled. They became Cranstoun, Cranston and Cranswick. The book states that our crest and motto are those of Cranstoun. Can anyone confirm this through Heraldry links?
