Dear Dr Hilt,

Thank you for your message. I'm afraid my knowledge of my Bambury
ancestors is very limited. My grandfather William Larner married Nora
Bambury at Ballylongford, Kerry, in 1888. All I can be certain of from
there is that her father was George Bambury, shopkeeper, born 1844, who
in
June 1864 married Anne O'Donnell (b. 1845), daughter of William O'Donnell,
'Victualler' of Tarbert. George's father on that occasion is said to be
John Bambury, 'Farmer' of Ballylongford. I've been told that the family
still live in Ballylongford (and indeed there are some Bambury names there
in the Eire telephone-book. One day I'll perhaps go to the Dublin Record
Office and look into this (I live in Scotland).
With all good wishes,

John Larner
