Families covered: Corsellis of Layer Marney, Corsellis of London, Corsellis of Wivenhoe
| (1) Cross-references to this family, under Sir Christopher Guise, 1st Bart of Elmore, whose 2nd wife Rachel is shown below, suggest that it descended from "a noble Italian family" (2) MGH reports two different arms for this family: "Azure, a griffin segreant or" (Gwillim's Heraldry, supported by a momument at Layer Marney Church) and "Ermine, three lions combattant gules" (Berry's 'Essex Pedigrees'). Our copy of Berry's Essex Pedigrees (see Main Sources below) shows the arms as "Ermine, two lions combatant gules". |
