The plate

After all these years you start all over again after youre attention is drawn to something from years ago, for instance with the plate.You notice the little flowers ,but not the crown and dove and letter in the middle of this plate
First you try and find a crest with a dove over a crown.
It must look something like this.So you google and find a crown and a dove.
                                       


But this on the picture is not a real crest. It is a fancy one and you can order it to be painted on your furniture.
So we still have to find the owner of the crest.Sometimes we find a dove and sometimes a crown but not together and like on the plate.
Then you start your research again.
Maybe it was an F under the crown and dove and was it like the crest on the plate an heirloom of the Lefebures .(Lefevres)
How  was that story again ????? It was the widow of Charles Lefebure ,the actress Elizabeth Bride
This widow of Charles Lefebure  remarried John Samworth.
She became that way the stepmother of Frances Elisabeth Samworth .
Who married Jerome Nicholas Vlieland and inherited some of her things and maybe the plate as well.
So that means looking in the National Archives for the will of Elizabeth and hoping a plate is mentioned there.
And yes we found the will.
This story continues tomorrow.
