Heraldry Crests and Coats of Arms / Re: Possibly French? Six roundels, three stars...
« on: Thursday 20 November 25 22:17 GMT (UK)  »
Without any idea of the colours, it is very difficult to say whether it is French, or another nationality.  There is nothing specific in the charges which mark it out as specifically continental or English or Scottish.

I think the blazon would be:

X, 6 roundels A , three, two, one, on a chief B, 3 molets Y

Specific colours would be substituted for the letters the letters.

I no longer have a sub for Ancestry and was hoping that somebody could help me out by checking on the 1881 to 1911 censuses.

Regret but requests for look-ups from commercial sites are not allowed here on RootsChat. Try your local library, many have access to Ancestry for users.  FamilySearch host transcripts of England & Wales census.

Look on Drift Road near New Lodge.  It's on the north side of the road, now site of a number of newer cottages and businesses.

It may have been part of the the New Lodge estate at that date.  I've seen the name of Captain or Mr van de Weyer crop up.

Heraldry Crests and Coats of Arms / Re: Crest identification

If I am correct, then the features that can be seen are typical of this type of embroidery: stitched lines in geometric patterns and unstitched portions of canvas which help to create the design.  It is not necessarily unfinished.

Welcome to RootsChat.

To be honest with you, I don't think it represents any crest at all.  From what I can see, it might be an example of blackwork cross-stitch embroidery using a stylised image.  I know someone who produces pieces similar to this and as you say they can be table runners, place mats or similar.

There may be other interpretations of course.
