Comment on The Daubuz Gainsborough by juliangv

juliangv — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 05:09:45 +0000

Hi, I have a similar query that I’m seeking assistance with. I work at the National Gallery of Victoria in Melbourne, and in our collection we have an oil on panel portrait of Robert Dudley, the Earl of Leicester. The painting sadly is unattributed, but is dated at c.1560-70. On the reverse is a wax seal (signet ring size) which is quite badly worn although some details and symbols are discernible/legible. I’d like to share this with you in the hope of identifying it. Please can you email me so that I can forward more information to you.

Thanks
Julia

A bit more genealogical information. Clement had a brother, William Samuel Unthank, who was killed in 1812 leading the “Forlore Hope” at the siege of Badajoz. His sister, Emma May Unthank, married a Richard Lubbock.

Hi! I’m researching one Joseph Godman’s nephew’s, called Thomas Sanden Godman Kirkpatrick, son of his sister Jane who was married to Richard Godman Kirkpatrick from the Isle of Wight. I’m specially interested in learning about his trips to Central America. He was my Gg greatgrandfather, who had two children out of wedlock with a french woman called Victoire Berlioz in Honduras.

If you have any information about this man and his arrival to Honduras and the birth of his children, I will really appreciate it.

Regards,

Claudia Castro

Comment on Borrowed Arms? by argentandsable

Burke has been criticised for being rather erroneous, or in the least overromantic (seems to have thrown a lot of rather patchy sources together). Good luck on the search though.

Marie Adolphine Holroyd-Doveton was my grandfather, Charles Albert Hodson H-D’s only surviving sister. I have done a lot of research into the family and maybe able to help. I live in Newcastle, New South Wales, Australia.

Apologies for the delay. I’ve rather taken my eye off the ball on this blog.

Having delved a bit more on the Internet, it would appear that Clement Unthank's father, William, used Arms on his wife's memorial. It seems that this were assumed Arms and that the subsequent grant "legalised" the position. Unthank Armorial added to the Heraldry Online site.
