Whilst there is no Edser Coat of Arms one does exist for Edsir

As noted elsewhere the are no entries for Edsir in the 1881 Census and I have assumed that all descendants (assuming there are any) have adopted the surname of Edser.

Burkes General Armoury of 1884 however includes an entry as follows;

 

Edsir (co Surrey)  Ar. a lion ramp. Per fesse gu and vert within an orle of pinks, slipped and leaved ppr

 

A picture is included but I do not have a copy.

 

The terminology of heraldry is as follows

Ar=argent=silver or white

Gu=gules=red

Vert=green

Per= manner in which the field is divided

Fesse=middle third

Orle=an inner border not touching the extremities, the field being seen within and without

Ppr=proper=in a natural manner

Slipped= the stalk depicted so as torn from the original stem

 

Pinks are a flower, of the ???? family

 

If anyone thinks they can draw that, or make a copy of the original I would be delighted to stick it on the web.

 

I am pretty sure that the granting of these arms is closely linked to Louisa Maria Edsir, (Google her, it is a good story) who was brought up by Farley Edsir, who also spelt his name Edser and Edsor, who must surely be a descendant of the Thomas Edser who married Mary Farley.
