CUMBERLEGE of England
Marshall remarked
that one of his reasons for considering the
names Comberbach and
Cumberlege identical is the similarity of the arms. John
Cumberlege, was a subscriber to Plot's Natural history of
Staffordshire, and his arms figure on the folding title to that work,
viz. Barry of six ermine and sable, on a canton or a fleur-de-lis
gules. The Rev. S. F. Cumberlege, who claims to be of the same
family, now bears this coat, and for his crest, a fleur-de-lis between
two feathers, with a motto, Vouloir ce que Dieu veut.

Coats of Arms |
|
Coats of arms
began in the 12th century for military, social or authoritative
purposes. They were used as colours and logos in the same way that
colours and logos are used to distinguish individuals and teams
today, whether in sport or in business. They can be important in
genealogy.
Sharing a family name with an armigerous person or ancestor with the
same name does not automatically confer the right to use their arms.
There are inheritance rules which need to be verified with the
Heralds. |
|
Heraldry |
|
Once these
logos began being worn on sheilds then heraldry was born. During the 13th
century France, England and Scotland established Colleges of Arms to
regulate the use of arms. They then undertook the designing of the
arms - the blazoning - and the registration of arms.
The English College of
Arms has 13 officers:
- Garter King of
Arms;
-
Clarenceux
King of Arms;
-
Norroy &
Ulster King of Arms;
-
Chester Herald;
-
Lancaster Herald;
-
Richmond Herald;
-
Somerset Herald;
-
Windsor Herald;
-
York Herald*;
-
Bluemantle Pursuivant;
-
Portcullis Pursuivant;
-
Rouge Croix Pursuivant*;
-
Rouge Dragon Pursuivant.
In previous days Heralds would make visitations to collect proof of
a right to bear arms. Now they prove a right to bear arms for
claimants and design new arms for new applicants.
* George William Marshall held both of
these offices. |

Ne tentes aut perfice |
|
This motto
used by Cumberbatch of Barbados, was also used by the
Electric Telegraph Company.
The Electric
Telegraph Company was formed by Sir William Fothergill Cooke and
Joseph Lewis Ricardo in 1846, four years after Cooke had launched
the first commercial telegraph system between Paddington and West
Drayton in London England. That line had been installed in 1839 but,
up to 1842, had carried only railway messages.
The partnership between William
Fothergill Cooke and
Sir Charles Wheatstone [of Wheatstoine
Bridge fame], which resulted in the
invention of the electric telegraph
patented in 1837, was never an easy one, and was effectively over by
1843. Thereafter, Cooke carried forward their joint patents as a
business and Wheatstone merely took a royalty payment for all lines
constructed under them.
The company went on to lay telegraph networks in many parts of
England and laid submarine cables to
Holland, thus offering links through to much of Europe. This
international expansion was done through a specially formed
associate company - the International Telegraph Company - with which
the ETC merged in 1855 to become the Electric and International
Telegraph Company.
In 1870 the company and all its
assets were transferred to the government, as a result of
nationalisation under the Telegraph Act, January 28, 1868. The
General Post Office (GPO) then undertook the responsibility for
these networks.
In 1981, the British Telecoms Act
transferred this responsibility from the General
Post Office, thereby creating two separate corporations. I
joined the GPO/BT
in 1980.
