The above arms raise a few questions:

First, where did the Trotter quarters come from?  None of his Trotter ancestors had matriculated any arms, the original matriculation of the undifferenced single Trotter arms was for his first cousin three times removed, James Trotter of Kettleshiel and Horton Manor.

In fact when his gt uncle Sir Coutts Trotter, bt, matriculated his arms, Lyon allowed that the same arms, with due difference, will be applied also to his three brothers.

In fact the matriculations for both Trotter of Haldane and Trooter of Brin (this one) did use the arms of Sir Coutss but in both cases the spur-revels were changed to mullets, possibly to five point from the 6 of spur-revels.

However the Trotter of Colinton matriculation dropped the Moubray arms altogether in favour of the arms of the Ravensworth peerage, which his wife carried as sole daughter and heiress of that peer.

A precedent for this sort of gatherine of a relative’s arms can be seen in English heraldry for Henry Wentworth Feilding when he obtained a Royal Licence to assume the Powys arms of his maternal grandfather, Thomas Jelf Powys.  This case shows a clear allowance by the English heralds of a principle of using Family arms as long as they are descended from a (non-armigerous) ancestor of the same name.  My thought then is that this use of the Trotter arms is somewhat similar, that they were using the arms of the named family, even though they had been granted to another branch.

Second, is this quartering the undifferenced one of Trotter and Moubray?
Yes, as noone else has borne these combined arms with this border.
But it can also be said that if the Trotter and Moubrary arms are impartibly born, that alone could be sufficient difference from the arms of Trotter of Kettelshiels.

I wonder how the Lyon heralds would answer these questions?
