The
I'Anson baronets were of a so-called "armorial family". This is the coat
of arms they were authorised to bear:
I'ANSON
COAT OF ARMS: Quarterly azure and gules, a cross flory, in the first and
fourth quarters an annulet or, a chief. (It should be noted that
not everyone bearing the name is authorised to bear the Coat of Arms. See
Heraldry)
I'ANSON
MOTTO:
-
"Faire
mon devoire" means "to do my duty" (or "to do my homework" if one
is young enough - or, indeed, if one wants to be a good genealogist!).
This motto, however, seems to have been adopted "recently" according to
the author of the 'History of the I'Anson Family', Bryan I'Anson.
-
"Rien
sans travaille" ("nothing without labour") is the motto on the
17thC monument of Sir Bryan I'Anson at Ashby St Legers.
