I think nevermind.  I may have answered my own question.  If you go to http://www.heraldsnet.org/saitou/parker/Jpglosss.htm#Saltire and scroll down a little.  On the right side you will see a coat of arms fro Borough of SOUTHWARK.  http://www.heraldsnet.org/saitou/parker/images/m518a.gif

If this is the source then I will say it does not appear to be enough to document the use of the design in period.  Parker published his book in the late 1800s.  You would likely need to try for a more period source for the motif.
