Hello, Anne: This is a really long shot. I've been most unsuccessfully trying to locate any family named HANSBURGH/HANSBORO[UGH]. This was my gggrandmother's maiden name, and it has been spelled in all three ways. I have assumed that her Irish accent may account for the different spellings; I can easily imagine it might have been something like HANSBURY. So I'm just wondering if you have come across any similar obstacles in your research of your RANSBURYs. Or even -- could the Lord be so good? -- some HANSB---s in among your name!! As I said -- a long shot. But I am beginning to despair of ever finding this name anywhere in Ireland.
