My other thought is that the colour way not be correct as the house has had a number of owners and they may have just painted it what they thought look good!

Thank you for you your replays so far I have tried to look it up but did not fully understand the descriptions.
I have attached the coat of arms from a different member of the family (I only have a scan of this) and this is very similar to the ones on the headstones.
I photographed the colour coat of arms from some distance and then have zoom in so the motto at the bottom is not legible.
I don’t know if this helps but the oldest family member we know of is Thomas Bell b1690 we then have tree Henry Bells, a Henry Wade Bell and then Arthur Bell b1860 d1946 and he used the coat of arms on his headstone.
Any more thoughts greatly appreciated

I am trying to identify a coat of arms which belong to the Bell family. We know a Henry Bell (1731 – 1816) who lived at Portington Hall, Nr Eastrington, East Yorkshire used the arms on his house and other members of the family have it on their headstones.
Does anyone know how to write a formal description for the arms, and how you go about making a correct identification?
Is it possible to find out about the history of the family from the coat of arms?
