Hello Peter, do the St George's and Charles' Rolls say anything about where the holder of the arms was from?

Only rarely do any of the rolls ever say where the person is from; just occasionally a roll may distinguish one branch of a family from another. St George's and Charles' Rolls never do.

I should also have mentioned the value of seals. Rolls may give the tinctures that are otherwise missing, but I much prefer seals. They are cast-iron evidence of the arms borne by the owner at that particular time, and most of the time they have the owner's name round the edge. Rolls can be, and quite often are, mistaken. And because seals are often still attached to documents, you get all the additional information there that genealogists are used to handling. It's just that there are so many different places to search for seals. Peter Howarth
