Assumed Arms

[MurrayInGA]

Very classy looking!

I probably could have arms registered and designed by Lord Lyon's court, as I have documentary evidence for a direct male ancestor who lived in County Down at a time when it was under British government.

I just don't have the $$$ ;)

Thanks! I too have an ancestor from Ireland (Co. Monaghan) but unfortunately, you can only petition as you describe through the College of Arms. As a foreigner, we must have an ancestor AND living relative in Scotland to petition for arms from LL. I plan to apply for arms from the Chief Herald of Ireland, but that is a ways off (also $$$ not currently available ) .
