Last night 'Jim' posted a picture of an armband thought to belong to 'Ian Q's' great grandfather (above). The armband bears the symbol of a white tower, covered by what appears to be the head of a raven. This combination is likely a reference to the ravens of the Tower of London, and perhaps more specifically, the White Tower.
The current symbol for the Tower of London (right), depicts the façade of the building, and shows the entrance to the tower on the first floor.
According to the time-line of Ian Q's great grandfather's journal, the Constable of the Tower would have been Sir Charles Yorke. Yorke died on 20 November 1880, and was succeeded by Sir William Fenwick Williams.
I'm not sure how the ravens relate to White Tower, but perhaps in an alternate reality Ian Q's great grandfather witnessed the event that led to Yorke's untimely end.
