Armorial Blazon notes for John Elmes
Dictionary of British Arms, Medieval ordinary, vol 1, p. 55 has this:
"Erm on 2 bars Sa 10 Holly leaves 5,5 Or
"ELMES L2 181,11"
There is no other Elmes entry in any of volumes 1, 2 and 3.
The document L2 is dated to 1520 and is held by the college of arms.
So this is the best blazon for the arms in use at the time of his life.
