The arms described in the confirmation below appear on 2 Keys gravestones in County Fermanagh and one in Donegal in Northern Ireland(although there is no known connection between the two families). Undoubtedly both families originated in England. How can one find out where and when the arms were originally granted, and in what other locations the same arms may appear in England or Scotland?
Thanks,
Roy Keys
