The marital arms of Simon Waley Waley (1827-1875) stockbroker of London, and his wife (m.1859) Anna Handelagh, nee Salomons (1839-1906). Arguably the most illustrious of the couple's children was Sir Frederick George Waley, 1860-1932, an influential industrialist and colliery owner in Australia.
Anna Salomons, whose arms on the shield reflect her Cohen ancestry, was step daughter of Sir David Salomons, Bt., sometime Lord Mayor, MP for Greenwich, who was not permitted to take his seat in the Commons until the oath was made acceptable to those of the Jewish faith.
