Heraldry Crests and Coats of Arms / Re: Anyone with Something Similar
« on: Tuesday 26 May 09 21:55 BST (UK) »
Hi,
the enclosed picture is from an application for nobility in 1819 in Finland from Herman Ross, where he claims a descendance from the Rosses of Balnagowan and/or Kindeance/Kindeis. In the application also the Ross of Pitkerrie descendance is mentioned as one possibility. The application did not succeed on those grounds as the genealogic tracing to those Scottish families were not satisfactorily described. He was however nobilised but on his own merits.
In my opinion the colours in the checkered bordings are gold and red, definitely not white and red. I would need to go to the archives again and see again it with fresh eyes and not only from my photograph in order to verify this.
In the application there is no explanation on wherefrom that coat of arms has been obtained. The application only includes the wish of Herman Ross to be granted the right to use the coat of arms of his ancestors, and this picture is an enclosure.
I would highly appreciate any further comments on how to interpret this differented Ross coat of arms.
