Crest on 1805 tablespoons

Post by mk209 »

I got a tablespoon many years ago with this crest on and recently I came across another spoon belonging to the set. Can anybody tell me what family these belonged to? A few years back a whole set of forks was on sale with the same crest. Sadly it seems the tablespoons were split up but I was very happy to at least bring two back together!

This is difficult because the crest of a greyhound courant is frequently seen. The initials M W H could help narrow it down, if only we knew which was for the family name. Kind regards.

Been told that the Boldest character is the family name but whether it's WHM or HWM I don't know.

If we were using actual physical cut-out letters to make this, the W and the M would be put down first and interlaced. The H would be slipped in last and is the top letter. Then my guess would be for the HENEAGE family whose crest is a greyhound courant. All of this is just recreational speculation. Cheers.

Wolf Hound Manor (WHM)? Seriously though, H in the center often equates to Hotel (albeit an early one at that date). Any luck going that direction? Could,have a nickname like running dog lodge.
