Dear Patricia With a bit more information we could write to the equivalent of the Lyon Court in England. I would be inclined to think the Arms started in Scotland, as Scots only started to be welcomed in England after the 1707 Act of Union, and most of the migration took place in the 19th Century. There are many Scots in Hampshire who moved because of the developments in Shipping. The same took the Scots, including the Lairds to Liverpool and Birkenhead. Genealogy is fascinating. We are only dealing with Lairds - you should see the Sinclair debate! Yours aye Iain
