In reply to charles whipple. Hello, I am afraid our scroll is more connected to the early origins of the name in Yorkshire, although it does make mention of branching to Dorset and Somerset. Our prints are more histories of the name and its movements a rather than specific families as such. Thank you for your enquiry.

Pellow was originally centered in Cornwall until the end of mining in the mid 1800’s. Many miners moved to northern England at that time and the name became mix-up with Bellew. I want to find more on Pellow history and the crest of those Cornwall Pellow’s. Any suggestions?

… as in Breton, exactly, and with the same meaning 🙂 Lots of common points between both languages (each one in very bad health…)

In reply to Alan. Hi Alan, it could just mean there is no meaning! Usually those beginning with Tre denote a Cornish origin.

You mention Trelawny multiple times at the start of the article, but never give its meaning, as you did most of the others mentioned. What does it mean?
