Two houses, one shield

Put the houses of the family onto one shield. Choose a marriage, a way of dividing the shield, and which house goes where; every field tells you what the record knows about that house's arms — and how sure it is. Nothing here claims the family bears these arms; it shows what is known, and what is still open.

Fish open

House Fish — Charmeon's side, the maternal line of the 1986 union (G1)

the line stands documented (2026-08-25): Terence and Robyn's daughter, through Fred Fish, Mayor of Bathurst, to George of Cutcombe (1836) and Stogursey (1657); no arms on record — the English books were searched properly and hold none for a Somerset Fish family

the house at the union (carrier claim) — not arms B 0.95 · D 0.00 · U 0.05basis: the family's own workbook, at the near line (Charmeon's own mother)

The state grammar

Red is reserved for a tincture-rule breach between a field and what lies on it. 6 of 12 houses have arms drawn from the register's structure (the arms and sources lenses show them; the state lens shows the fields alone); the rule has been evaluated for every pair on those arms — breaches: garb Argent on Argent: rule of tincture violated: metal-on-metal; spur-rowel Or on Argent: rule of tincture violated: metal-on-metal — and for every metal/colour pair in the engine (49 pairs in the pack).
