  • Quartered Arms Identification

    From Rock Vacirca@21:1/5 to All on Sun Dec 22 10:35:32 2019
    Can anyone throw any light on any of these quartered arms depicted in the church windows of Thorganby in the East Riding of Yorkshire?

    Left image, dexter side(the quartered arms) are Dunnington-Jefferson.
    Left image, sinister side: One of the numerous Vavasour arms.
    Right image, dexter side: as above.
    Right image, sinister side: Stoney arms.

    Hope this helps.

    Thanks for that Scott. The Dunnington-Jefferson family and the Vavasour family (Hazlewood Castle or Spaldington)were prominent in the area around Thorganby in the East Riding of Yorkshire, but I can find nothing on the Stoney family in the area. I had
    hoped those arms were a variation of the de Haye, or del Haye families, which were very prominent in the area, and did use 3 scallops on their arms.

    Stoney family:
    They were known in the Cheshire area as manor lords. I can find no peerage or baronetage that the family ever held, but to be granted Arms they must have been prominent gentry. Many of the family moved to Ireland in the 17th and 18th centuries. Some of
    the Stoney's may have been Catholic, and those were dangerous times to be Catholic in England.
    The Irish Stoneys' have had several prominent members, but I "think" that the armiger now lives in Australia.
