Background and History:

During the lifetime of his father, Andrew Edward C. Kelly uses the coat of arms of his father, Francis Graham Kelly, differenced by a white label of three points. The label of three points is the traditional mark of cadency for the first son in England and Scotland. Andrew's son Riley James Kelly uses another differenced version of Francis's coat of arms.

The armiger has English, Irish, and Scottish ancestry through his father and has Filipino and Chinese ancestry through his mother. His mother's ancestry is represented by the eagle Or for the Philippines, the arrows Proper for Spain, and the Chinese dragon for China. His father's ancestry is represented by the rose Gules for England, the shamrock Vert for Ireland, and the thistle Proper for Scotland.

Both families migrated to Australia, which is symbolized by the Southern Cross.
