Barrow
crest - image provided by Edmund Barrow, October
2011 |
On 16 Apr 19 Rupert Musgrove supplied these images of the Barrow crest on a dinner plate (above) and a decanter (below) with the comment: When my great grandmother married Arthur Barrow her family gave a 24 setting dinner service and also a canteen of cutlery. The story goes that all the other sisters got a full silver canteen, but hers was only plated as they were due to go to India and ‘the servants would only steal them’! However one relative provided a fruit service of silver knives/forks in a crested box. | Barrow coat of arms created by John Bury in October 2011 from a preliminary sketch and specifications provided to Carrington and Co in 1958. |
From
ref 111 we learn that the family motto was
'Fortune with thine honour' And recorded on the rear of the family image of Simon Barrow of Bath is a story of why the bear is muzzled! A merchant connection led some Cardozos to adopt the Barrow name and a crest similar to the Barrow crest. |
