    Hmm, I couldn't really recommend any site.
    Strictly speaking, a coat of arms for a particular name belongs to the family who was granted it, rather than anyone with that surname. If you want to buy one, there's a few shops in Dublin on Nassau St and one in Temple Bar at the Fleet St end that sells them - I don't know their names though. Sorry I can't be more help.

    Try crests and arms at the top of Dame street on Cork hill.

    It's technically correct and a good point. Fair enough. Doesn't answer the original question. Just helping the young lady.

    Got a beautiful one from Curran's Heraldry when we were in Adare a few months ago (061-362460) or website: www.curransheraldry.com.
    We're delighted with it.
