(1) We previously speculated that the undermentioned Sir Francis & Sir Richard were descended from John Crane of Norfolk (see here). That was in large part because BEB1841 (Crane of Woodrising) reports that the undermentioned brothers "deriv(ed) probably from a common ancestor with the Cranes of Chilton" and suggests that their arms were "As Crane, of Chilton" and because that John's great-grandmother was of the family of Southwell of Woodrising which might have had an influence on the undermentioned Francis's purchase of Woodrising from that family. However , Baker identifies the arms of Crane of Stoke Park as "Per bend Or and Azure" which is different from those of Crane of Chilton. (2) Both BEB1841 ('Crane of Woodrising') and TCB (vol 2, 'Crane of Woodrising', p209) report on 2 brothers without identifying their parents. Their siblings are identified by Baker which also does not identify their parents. |

Baker, supported by Visitation, identifies the arms of the following family as "Gules, on a fess between three crosses patée fitched Or, as many annulets Azure". There are some similarities between that and the arms of the Cranes of Chilton referred to on Crane1 but there are quite a few differences. | |||||||||||||||
