I am researching the origins and identifications of various merchant house flags in use in Newfoundland in the early 20th century, and specifically the flag used by my ancestors of the firm of J&G Smith of Brigus around 1910. Any help appreciated.

Hi John.
The only thing that I can convey in this regard is that I believe that the flag that was used by the Cox family of Poole and Fogo was the same as the flag of the modern French republic. I was told by a Cox descendant once that when the republic was fairly new, it had to obtain the permission of the Cox family to use their colours.
