There are no arms matching that description on the map, but the description fits Meddew of Great Yarmouth: http://books.google.com/books?id=cmEBAAAAQAAJ&pg=PT233&lpg=PT233&dq=Meddew+%22Great+Yarmouth%22&source=bl&ots=miZMyqvLmv&sig=U3K9PMlmzjBbdQkdBcPFZilokAM&hl=en&sa=X&ei=6MeUUuTxNdSssQSClYGQBg&ved=0CC4Q6AEwAQ#v=onepage&q=Meddew%20%22Great%20Yarmouth%22&f=false
I should have been quicker on this one. These are the arms of Sir Thomas Medowe (d. 1688) of Great Yarmouth, multiple times bailiff. He died without male issue; his daughter Anne died unmarried in 1708, and his other daughter Frances married Thomas Hayes of Cradfield in Suffolk. Sir Thomas was a son of another Thomas, who had moved to Yarmouth from Witnesham, They were relations of Lucy Meadows, who married Kirby’s brother William. For more on the career and a picture of the arms of Sir Thomas Medowe, see Palmer, Charles John, “The Perlustration of Great Yarmouth, with Gorleston and Southtown”, 1872, pp. 153–159.
It would appear you have omitted J Freeman Gent from the list of arms quoted on this web site? – between Frere and Fonnereau.
Thank you for your notice. My list is just for the first, 1736, edition of the map. John Freeman appears only on the second edition of 1765.
