the earliest to the present time, by Thomas Robson, published in 1830, Vol. II. gives the
following : Malby [
Note. – The arms granted in 1757
were evidently to Sir Joseph Mawbey, b. 1730, see
Pedigree No. IV., Joseph (21), and the arms granted in 1765 were probably to
his son Joseph (22). For the lineage of Maubey of Botleys,
Dormant Boronetcies. For the union of Paston
with Maulby or Mawtby or Mauteby see Paston’s General
Visitation of Norfolk, 1563, 1589, 1613.
The History of Norfolk gives this item: “There were also in this window, Cat impaling Mawtby.” (This was, I believe, in 1462.)
The third Maltby arms to be
considered are those of the Maltbys of Cleveland,
York. (See Pedigree
No. II). The first date found by
the compiler connected with these arms is in 1599 and is in The Genealogist,
Vol. XXI., p. 120 (Add M.S. 12,225). It
reads: Grant of Arms. Maltby
. . . of Maltby in Cleveland,
If this item is correctly given in
The Genealogist it would seem very evident that this was not the first grant to
the family, as the original crest was very evidently the garb (sheaf of wheat)
banded gules. By
consulting Pedigree No. II if will be seen that Christopher Maltby
(15), Alderman of York, was born in 1574
and had a daughter Catherine, born in 1599 – the year the above arms were
granted. The fact that Sir Nicholas Malby was using the wheat sheaves on his arms (with cotises
introduced for the difference) in 1576, when he was knighted, would tend to
prove that the ariginal

The arms generally used in the present day by the Maltbys are the sheaves of wheat on a bend gules. This is the coat-of-arms used by the Maltby Association*. The motto used is: “Virtus sub pondere crescit.” The General Isaac (4) Maltby descendants used “Quod serveus metes.” Mr. Brough Maltby has an old seal which has been in his family for generations; the arms are as above and the motto is: “Praesto et Persisto.”
* The coat of arms shown in the frontispiece is a modification engraved by Z. U. Maltby, Esq.
Capt. Samuel (2) Maltby had a coat-of-arms, as is shown by the inventory of his estate which mentions “A coat-of-arms, to shillings; it also mentions “Seal, 20 shillings.” He died in 1751. The Montreal Maltbys, descended from the Maltbys of Leeds, York, also owned a coat-of-arms. It was on a seal ring belonging to their grandfather, but was lost and none of the family recall the device.
The coat-of-arms which has descended in Col. R. L. Maltby’s family (descended for the Maltbys of Scarborough) is very interesting. Roughly speaking the arms are quarterly or, and argent. The crest is a Wyren, as nearly as can be ascertained and the motto is “Fear God in Life.” There is no questioning the fact that the family believed these arms to be Maltby coat armour, but as a matter of fact they are the arms of the Claverings. These arms were sent to an English correspondent, who knowing nothing of the people, replied: “This is not a Maltby arms; evidently someone fancies he descends from the Maultby or Maltby who married a Clavering. If this surmise is correct and he can prove his descent from Miss Clavering you have struck a good find. The Clavering arms being similar; i.e., quart. Or. and gules, over all a bend sab. (or a bendlet).”
As a matter of fact the Maltbys owning these arms never heard of any Clavering marriage and it would seem very probable that

The following record from the
Visitations of Norfolk, 1563-1613, give: “Sir John Mautby Arms: Quart., or and gules a bendlet sable.” It
is quite evident that these arms came into use from the Clavering
marriage just mentioned. The compiler
can not state positively, indeed feels very doubtful, that the Maltby arms of
