Francis Family Crest

Hello Christopher,

Thank you for your message.  I don't know much about Heraldry, but I believe there are rules that govern the authorisation and issueing of coats of arms and crests that seem to have been bent to accommodate just about any family name, whether the family is entitled to a crest or not.

I don't know if there is a properly authorised crest for our Francis family, but Jane's uncle, Egbert Arundell Francis, had a decorative shield that featured a lion, rampant, (standing on it's back legs).  The shield was divided diagionally with one half with the lion gold on a black background, and the other half with the lion black on a gold background. It looked very smart.  Bert was a solicitor in Sydney so may have done some research to authenticate it as the Francis shield.

I Googled the crest, as no doubt you have, and found several "Francis Crests" including the one I have described.  If we are entitled to a crest, I guess it would be the one.

If you are able to find out more on this subject I would appreciate it if you would let me know.

Best wishes,

Geoff
