You could also contact Lincolnshire Archives to see if they can help.

Many thanks, Andy, that sounds very plausible.

Thanks - I did know about the positioning of the petal and sepal, depending on the Riding.  My mini-flag has the petal at the top = West Riding.  It was just that I had it in my mind that someone had told me that it was due to the Ridings being on different sides in a battle or even war.

Heraldry Crests and Coats of Arms / White Rose of York

Does anyone, please know the origins of this?

In Yorkshire there is a tradition of using the rose with a petal at the top in the North Riding and the West Riding but with a sepal at the top in the East Riding.


I think I was once told that it had something to do with a war, but I now can't substantiate this.  I have recently been in touch with my FHS and also seen information from Yorkshire Ridings Society.

I'll keep my fingers crossed.  And hopefully not have to repeat the exercise.  :-\ :-*

Thanks Sandra - I think that I have now made contact, so hopefully I will receive a photo of the memorial.

Thank you Sandra - it is Gordon who is buried at Burlington, and I would like to have an image of the headstone, if possible.

I'm wondering, pretty please, whether anyone is able/willing to obtain a photograph for me of a commemoration at Burlington for: 

Gordon Ross Archbell - died 29 March 2021 at Joseph Brant Hospital.

The Hamilton Spectator says that he is to be interred at Burlington Memorial Gardens.

I live in England, so am unable to visit for myself.  Any help will be greatly appreciated.
