Possibilities for Identification: 
Burke’s General armory describes the crest as having on the collar three bezants. In his A Genealogical and heraldic dictionary of the landed gentry, Burke does mention Peel of Peele Fold, Lancashire and Cornwall; Peel of Bryn-y-Pys, of Flint, Montgomery, and Norfolk; Peel of Accrington, Lancashire; Peel of Stone Hall, Pembrokeshire; Peel of Aylesmore House; Peel, of Singleton Brook, Manchester, all of which have three bezants on the collar. Fairbairn’s Crests (plate 312/2) add Peel of Drayton Manor, Staffordshire; [and six other Peels], all with bezants on the collar. Possibly Joseph Peel (1801-1866), the eldest son of George Peel and his wife Rebecca Barlow. He worked at Peel, Williams & Co, an iron foundery and engineering works founded by his father. In 1827 he married Anne Voile of Rugby, and had three children.
