Possibilities for Identification:

The crest resembles an otter's head, though it could be a talbot's. There is nothing fitting under "otter" in any of the reference guides, but in Fairbairn's Crests there are ten entries under "Out of a mural coronet a talbot’s head couped": Amory; Brampton; Bromige; Damer; Holme; Martin; Nesbitt; Reanolds or Reignolds; Richards; Routh.
