Surname - Bambrick
In 1603 Henry, Hugh and Thomas Bambrick were among a
number of Irishmen of Co. Leix obtaining "pardons". In 1641
and the three following years four soldiers of the name are
in the Irish army lists preserved in the Ormond Manuscripts.
In 1659 two men called Bambrick are listed in the "census"
of that date as tituladoes in Co. Leix. and as these have
the same Christian names (Henry and John) as two of the said
soldiers it is not improbable that these soldiers are also
Leix Bambricks. Two centuries later we find sixteen
householders in Griffith's Valuation for that county (eleven
of these in the barony of Slievemargy) and in Co. Kilkenny;
three more are in the Tithe Applotment Books of the 1820's.
They were located in the part of Leix which is close to
counties Kilkenny and Kildare. Notwithstanding the fact that
they were still fairly numerous a century ago the name is
very rare now in Co. Leix and the other midland counties,
but it is quite well represented in the city of Dublin.
