An Armorial Family
![]() |
The I'Anson baronets were of a so-called "armorial
family". This is the coat of arms they were authorised to bear:
I'ANSON COAT OF ARMS: Quarterly azure and gules, a cross flory, in the first and fourth quarters an annulet or, a chief. (It should be noted that not everyone bearing the name is authorised to bear the Coat of Arms. See Heraldry) I'ANSON MOTTO: "Faire mon devoire" means "to do my duty" (or "to do my homework" if one is young enough - or, indeed, if one wants to be a good genealogist!). You will find that this is not the only I'Anson family motto, however. |
