The diagonal cross outlined by a series of small peaks is commonly found in arms associated with the name Anderson, thus alluding to the family of Mr. Green’s paternal grandmother. The vertical wavy stripes are commonly found in arms associated with the name Down and the horizontal wavy stripes in arms associated with the name Westlake, thus alluding to his mother’s paternal and maternal families respectively.
