Victor S. Manley, in his Regional Survey Of Warminster And District, compiled in the 1920s and 1930s, included the following notes about the Halliday family:

Family notes [for the Halliday family] are given in The History of Warminster, page 183.

The house [Yard House at East Street, Warminster] bears on the keystone of the entrance a lion sitting holding a – . [end of sentence left blank]

Mr. J.E. Halliday was a dissenter.

A branch of the family lived near Lynmouth whose house showed the crest of a boar’s head and arms of a cross and crescent.

During the Crusades, William of Scotland joined King Richard with 5,000 men, of whom 1,000 were Hallidays from Annan.

The surname [Halliday] may have been derived from Helidae – children of the sun, i.e. men from the East, who excelled all other men in their knowledge of the stars.

Writing in 1922, in his Notes On Some Surnames, Victor Strode Manley stated:

“HOWE – in Warminster about 1912 for [the] first time.”
