Pedigree roll with achievement of Thomas Humphreys of Bodelwyddan, dated 24 July 1660, compiled by Griffith Hughes, containing sixty-three other fully painted coats of arms, all impaled.
The pedigree traces Humphreys's lineage, in both the male and female lines, back six generations to sixty-four ancestors; their names and additional information are individually enclosed in a frame design, four abreast, at various points throughout the pedigree. All other individuals have their names enclosed in circles. The pedigree is organised so that Humphreys's maternal ancestors occupy the upper half of the pedigree and his paternal ancestors the lower half. His siblings and wife are also recorded, without heraldry; however since Thomas Humphreys and Elizabeth Davies of Gwysaney were not married until August 1665 (see E. A. Ebblewhite, 'Flintshire Genealogical Notes', Archaeologia Cambrensis, 5th ser., 11 (1894), 297-307 (p. 298)) his wife at least must be a later addition. The achievement, which is not quartered, is placed in the lower right-hand corner. The pedigree is transcribed (with the arms blazoned) in Miscellanea Genealogica et Heraldica, ed. by Joseph Jackson Howard, 2 vols (London, 1868), I, pp. 185-190.

Pedigree roll of John Meredith of Allington [Trefalun], Denbighshire, compiled in 1604 by his brother-in-law Edward Puleston of Allington and executed by Randle Holme I, containing thirty-six fully painted coats of arms, many impaled or quartered.
In addition to the descent of Meredith from a number of ancestors, the roll also shows that of his wife Ermyn Puleston from Sir Richard Puleston of Emral and Agnes Waren, and that of Ermyn's mother Margaret Almer from Gwaeddfawr. The pedigree is arranged so that the combined arms of John Meredith and Ermyn Puleston, those of Ermyn's parents Edward Puleston and Margaret Almer and those of her paternal grandparents Sir Edward Puleston of Emral and Ermyn Hanmer are prominently displayed side by side at the foot of the pedigree, and below them the personal coat of arms of John Meredith, with its six quarterings. The authorship of the roll was attributed to Edward Puleston by Siôn Cain (see Peniarth MS 269i, p. 43, and M. P. Siddons, Welsh Pedigree Rolls (Aberystwyth, 1996), p. 23). The roll is an example of Siddons' style 3.

The pedigree includes five fully painted coats of arms and is traced, in the male line only, from 'Madoc ap Mredith [Madog ap Maredudd] Princeps Powisiae', through his son 'Kenwricus Euell' [Cynric Efell].
