I will be right/ I am right/ I want to be right Explanation: Here’s the one and only hit I got with the last three words of your posting. Please note the odd message to “marketers” - which was only visible when I selected the whole page – odd? Further, the suggested "I will HAVE right" is not that hot a translation for the motto. I think that "BE" is better. http://www.users.totalise.co.uk/~davidwarburton/heraldry.htm... Warburton. The home page of David Warburton. Direct e-mail "marketers" might like to collect this list of bogus e-mail addresses with which to pollute their databases. Warburton Blazon of Arms : Blazons-of-arms, or "Coats-of-arms" as they are more commonly known, originated as motifs carried on the shields of knights in order that they could be identified on the battlefield. Not every family has a Coat-of-Arms and sometimes only a particular branch of a family has a Coat-of-Arms. A Coat-of-Arms was granted to a family member when they were given the right to bear that Coat-of-Arms. These armorials were formalised and recorded as heralds from the 13th Century onwards with crests and mottos later supplementing the arms. The Warburton blazon-of-arms, as recorded in Burkes General Armoury, consists of "Argent, a chevron between three cormorant gules". Argent : the colour white used in a coat-of-arms, intended to represent the metal silver, or, figuratively, purity, innocence, beauty, or gentleness. Gules : The colour red, and indicated on a blazon by vertical lines. (source: Webster's revised unabridged dictionary). The Warburton motto is "Je voil droyt avoyre" which translates to "I will have right." Origin of the name "Warburton" : The adoption of family names (or surnames) in Europe started in the 11th Century and in the main, fall into one of four categories: - Occupational names which describe a profession. - Locational names describing a dwelling or place of origin. - Descriptive names which describe some physical characteristic or mannerism. - Patronyms which are the adoption of the subject’s father’s first name as a surname. The locational surname ‘Warburton’ is a corruption of the old English ‘Werburg’ and ‘tun’ denoting a 'person from Lady Werburg’s manor or estate’. The village of 'Warburton' can be found in the North West of England, Latitude N53:24:11, Longitude W2:27:21 (WSG84) situated in the county of Lancashire, close to Manchester and Warrington.
