Thanks Neil
The house was listed in the early 1950s, and the listing is brief, as they all were at that time. I'm pretty sure there are no documents which give any information about owners before the nineteenth century (and through the nineteenth century it was a grocer's shop, with wooden boarding over the front as a cladding).
Yes it is in a Conservation area and with an active local history society. No information seems to be available to solve this. I think the way forward has to be to get from the crest (which will be unique) to a named person, but I'm struggling.
The physical style of a cast iron crest can be as early as seventeenth century, but of course can also be made at just about any time later. The crest with (just) the baronet's red hand below seems to be an early presentation - later times would tend to present the crest and the full coat of arms.

Heraldry Crests and Coats of Arms / Crest on a house in Hastings

I'm hoping for some help identifying a crest on a plaque on the wall of my house.
My house is in Old Town Hastings, and was built in 1648 - I've just had the beams tree-ring dated, hence the precision. I've no way of knowing when the plaque was placed on the front, though it is in pride of place.
What I think I can see is a demi-griffin segreant emanating from a torse. The griffin has something between her paws (a cross patonce?) and something in its beak (possibly an ear of wheat). Below the crest is the badge of a baronet, the red hand sinister.

Thanks for getting back Nel.
Casalguidi this is super, many thanks. I have the census returns, but three of the four christenings are new to me. No sign of birth certificates however. I've been searching bmd on and off for years for this family. Deaths are registered - for example the Alfred Ernest of the christening dies a few weeks later - but births and marriages are elusive.

Dear Nel
Many thanks for this - yes I do have this info. Alice's mum Elizabeth is the likely traveller, but I can't find a maiden name. Did any of J J Darby's children know Alice, and is anything remembered about her? Alice's children certainly met J J Darby when Alice and John were living at Herne Bay.

This John Joseph Darby made a second marriage to Alice Maud Mary Davis (Harris) 1928, Herne Bay. He gives his father's name as Richard Darby, mariner. Do you have any information about Alice?
