Dionysius - NCS Withycombe, p. 81, under the header <Denis> lists Dionisius 1200, 1221 and Dyonisius 1221.

- used here as a surname or unmarked patronymic, found as a given name in NCS DMNES: dated to 1540 in Early Modern English. This source lists Latin forms in England as Dyonisius 1300; Dionisii, and Dionisio 1357, Dionisius 1379; Dionis 1381. The proposed spelling interchanges "i"s" and "y's", which, as the submitter comments, is well-documented. [https://dmnes.org/name/Dennis]

Bardsley s.n. Frost has <Dionisius> dated to 1379. The same spelling also appears s.n. Henshaw also dated to 1379. The interchangeability of i and y in English is well-documented.

Device:
Per bend sinister azure and argent, a brown talbot’s head couped contourny proper maintaining a bunch of grapes purpure slipped and leaved vert.

Per bend sinister vert and purpure, a grey wolf proper rampant to sinister maintaining a sheaf of arrows argent.

SENA A3B1 says that grey charges proper "are interpreted (at the time of registration) as either sable or argent based on which is most favorable to registrations". Because of the tinctures of the field, this wolf must be considered argent.

Device submission returned at the March 2015 West Kingdom Heralds Meeting: Argent, a domestic cat sejant affronty sable, on a chief wavy purpure three paw prints argent. With the notes: Paw prints are a SFPP. Device appears to be clear of conflict, however, the cat, as drawn, is “a-back-ee” and therefore will need some interior detailing to make it “affronty.” We will forward the device to Laurel at the next meeting if the correctly drawn forms are received timely.

New emblazon has the cat in a different posture.

Argent, a domestic cat sejant guardant sable, on a chief wavy purpure three paw prints argent.
