127.0. "Coat of Arms shops." by FILMS::CARPENTER (Exiled Canard) Sat Mar 25 1989 01:24

Hello all,

I'll be in Basingstoke by Friday the 31st and I have need of some assistence.

A co-worker is getting married in May and one of his cousins likes 'things' 
from the U.K.  We were trying to come up with ideas of what I could get while
over there and one thing we thought of was a Coat of Arms for his family name.

So, could someone look up in the phone directory and see if there are any shops
who make them and put the name, address, and phone number in here. That way 
I can call them, find out the cost and whether they can get it done in time for
me to bring back.

Thanks.

    Hi,
    
    The last time I enquired about this, (a month ago) the shop
    wanted the surname to send away to see if 'one' was entitled to
    a Coat of Arms.  If the answer was yes, it was going to take six
    weeks.  
    
    Perhaps someone knows a quicker way?
    
    
    Regards
    
    
    Elly

Well, the gentleman in question (last name is Overlock) has done some research
into his family's background. I understand the family is related somewhere to
General Howe and others I don't know about. But I would assume that we have a 
good chance of him being 'entitled' to one. But then again...

Thanks for the information so far. Any other inputs will also be welcome.
