The greyhounds for Wigmore, the three combs on a bend for Combe, the doubleheaded eagle for Mytton, the three rams for Sydenham, the three martlets sable on a bend argent cotised upon gules for Hilton, Hinton or Hynton. I have been unable to trace the marriage of Wigmore—Mytton of which the sixth coat is evidence.
