ok i've had a go at translating the latin on the coat of arms. and i could only get a few words.
ut= To
vlncio= bind, fetter; restrain;
vir = man; husband; hero; person of courage, honor, and nobility;
verbo= word; proverb; [verba dare alicui => cheat/deceive someone]
llgltur= (i haven't got a clue i think it's a name sorry) frown

I got it to "Guard the honour which has gone before this is what bonds us together" Vincio surround guard, ver/verso previous page lefthand page, ligitur bond together.I would welcome another take on this as it is a very loose interpretation.

That sounds very plausible. What really threw us was the camel on the Coat of Arms!!!! We were hoping that the text might throw some light - it seems a very strange thing for an Enlgish family to have. I'm guessing they made their money trading with the middle east.

I found a picture of a coat of arms with three cammels on it it was a family name thing of the "cammels" as in lairds. if you think about it he had a cammel as a trade mark.
