Extract from a letter sent to David Brind
3rd May 2001

The snapshot of the memorial tablet (with Arms) in Liddington Church seems to indicate that the family were bearing the Arms back to the time of George Brind (B.C. 1660, D 1-3-1722).The Arms show many similarities to the Hatchment version which I possess (there are other identical Hatchments handed down in our family). The Hatchment bears the motto "Vigilantibus Non Dormientibus" (The guards not sleeping) and the date 1767. Only now is the significance of the date revealed to me(recently found by one of my daughters on the Internet-- the marriage of George Brind to Elizabeth Hatt on 17-6-1767.I think it is a Mormon records and it does refer to Liddington). Family memory says that the hatchment is of the Brind family and that the Brinds were from (or of) Liddington Manor. The manor house, which I'm sure you have seen, is an Elizabethan building.
Liddington Manor (postmark date 13th November 1908) Thanks to Eric Bizley. From bbc.co.uk, where I live in Wiltshire.
I recall my father saying many times "there was an Admiral Brind" but he could not have been referring to your uncle (1892-1963) as he did not say "There is an Admiral Brind" (he was speaking 1930-35). I don't suppose that your uncle had retired before that time. I am careful (as my father was) not to say "WE are descended from an Admiral Brind" though there are features of the Hatchment which, to my mind, suggest some connection with the sea. I think I will act on your suggestion and write to he College of Arms,referring to your letter,enclosing a photograph of the Hatchment.

Hatchment owned by Jotham family. Note the hands are the opposite way round to Vicent's but may still be left hands...
NOTES: The nautical connection appears to be a fish on top of the Hatchment, but it doesn't look like a fish on the Liddington shield to me, though I have seen a picture that makes it fish like. The Hatchment, above, also has a fish shape on top of the helmet, but its an odd way to wear a fish! I'd guess it was a plume of feathers.

Sir Patrick, David's uncle, did not become an admiral until 1942.

"Vigilantibus Non Dormientibus" is the motto of the Bristow coat of arms which seems to date from about 1796. A note on a web site about the Bristow families says that mottos vary in various branches of the family. Jonathan Brind
