Family History Beginners Board / Re: Identifying a 'Crest'

Interesting. I found this online which is similar:

https://www.lolofrenchantiques.com/french-louis-xvi-style-carved-giltwood-mirror.html

"The intricately carved crest is formed by the twin symbols of Louis XVI - a quiver of arrows crossed with a flambeau - joined by a laurel wreath and bow tied ribbon."

Okay, so it looks like the Earl of Arran owned 40 Dover Street (still standing - very nice!) so I guess John, as his steward, and family may have lived-in there.

Still trying to find John's marriage to Sarah though.

Thanks avm. Good to know I am on the right track.

Now that narrows down John's marriage to Sarah between 1830-1837, when she dies....

I have managed to find a copy of Burke's online with the relevant info:

Doesn't give a lot more detail than the snippets I posted the other day - except Ann's death date (1 Mar 1830).

Thanks - I think the manager was his son Frederick F C.

Keziah - which one? Upper Norwood or Leonard on Sea? Or both?

Have you located a will for him which might give more info on the properties?

I suspect things must have been a bit awkward in the family after that  :o

There's an ad in the St James's Gazette of 12 July 1899 for the Tudor Hotel in Oxford Street, manager Arthur FC Flatman. The next ad below is for the Queens Hotel in Upper Norwood and this juxtaposition is possibly the source of your " something that suggests". But there is no obvious connection. An ad for the Nofolk Hotel  (manager Arthur Flatman) appears in the same column.

I think a similar thing may have happened with the Leonard-on-Sea connection.
