Title: Ann Handbury, Hanbury Hambury, from Boyle.
Post by: warrawillah on Saturday 13 October 12 13:01 BST (UK)

Looking for birth details of Ann Handbury born Boyle, Roscommon about 1838.
 Is she the child of Martini Handbury and Anna Keane?

 Cannot find a marriage, but Ann married William WIlliams, a mariner, and had 5 children to him in Wales between 1862 and 1871.
 Ann remarried  James Caughter after Willim's death, but left him to live with a neighbour. I have not been able to establish what name she was using when she died "early in the 1900s", so I have no parent details at all.

Is Handbury a Roscommon name? Anyone out there researching this name please?

I know of the name HANBURY in Roscommon
THis is a link to the Griffiths Valuation (http://www.askaboutireland.ie/griffith-valuation/index.xml?action=nameSearch) which lists people as tenants or landlords around the 1850 mark
There are no hits for HANDBURY but four for HANBURY in Roscommon

Thank you for your reply. I will have a look at the Griffith's Valuation and see what is there.
Your interest is appreciated.
