Thank you for your reply and the information you gave me. My granfather has looked into it a little and found that we are in Burkes General Armoury and have a Coat Of Arms. I will send you the description (unless of course you already know it) when I find it because I'm not sure where it is at the moment! My granfather is from Coventry and I think he may have a sister there although we don't stay in contact (families!) so maybe you could follow that up. I look forward to hearing from you again and will contact again soon.
