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.

Note from Michael
Brennan: When I was living in Cooper Hill as a yound
boy in the 1950s there was a neighbour called Joseph Bambrick
living just a few yards up the road from us in Cooper Hill and
he owned a small dairy farm.He had a Pony & Trap and he drove
it to Carlow with his wife on Saturdays to do their shopping.
If my mum and I were walking to Carlow to do our shopping he
would stop and give both of us a lift into town.
