Surname help
« on: Sunday 03 December 06 01:29 GMT (UK) »
My grandmother was called Rosanna Henvy, but I'm having trouble finding any information on the name 'Henvy'.  I've tried spelling variations.  I'm not sure if it is an Irish name or not, I know that nan was Irish.  I haven't been able to the get the wedding certificate yet.

Could anyone help find a little info on the name Henvy?  I've seen my great aunt's grave, and it clearly said Bridgette 'Henvy'...

Don't know if HENVY is an Irish name but also try searching under HENRY as it could have been indexed under Henry.
Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!
