[This page was first launched on 08.03.22 as a Draft page. It was moved here after review led to acceptance that there was little chance of our making a significant improvement to it in the near future and that it was 'good enough' to be promoted into the main database. Considering their arms, it look as though the families shown in the lower 4 sections were probably connected and it is, of course, unfortunate that we have not been able to tie them together. However, brief research of the family on the Internet failed to find anyone else who had managed to do so. We do not know whether the family shown in the top section was connected to the others or just that they did not know of a connection when they set their coat of arms.]
| (1) Baker identifies the arms of the following family as "Argent, a chevron engrailed Gules, on a chief Azure three mullets Or". (2) Wikipedia ('Henry Keble") reports that the Lord Mayor "was originally from Coventry". |

| According to our normal rules, we should not include the following family as we do not yet have a connection to it from elsewhere in the database. We include it because the Harleian editor reports that, alongside the arms recorded in the Visitation, was the note "Eldest of the Family". As Visitation shows the arms as "Barry nebulée of six Argent and Sable, a canton Gules", that seems to support the view that the following was the senior branch of at least some of the branches reported above. | |||||||||||||||
