| (1) The following is shown on this page because 'The Genealogist's Guide (George W. Marshall, 2nd edition, 1885) cross-references Mennis (Mennes or Menys) with Mynne (or Mynnes) indicating that they were probably different spellings of connected families. It is noted that they are all in the South of England. Any family of the name of Mennis (Mennes or Menys) that was in Scotland would probably have been connected with the family of Menzies. (2) Berry, supported by Boys, identifies the arms of the following family as "Gu. a chev. vairé, or and az. betw. three leopards' heads of the second". |
