In January 2012, I posted a request for any information about the Raybauld family, located in Ennis. Unfortunately, no one seems to know anything of this family's existence in the town! The surname is spelt in a variety of ways. We were hoping to discover the origins of William Raybauld - appearing as 'Reball' in the Griffith's Valuation. William was married to a Catherine Darcy. We know nothing of her origins. Was she a native of Ennis? Can anyone possibly provide information about her and her family? Thank you in anticipation of your help.

John D'Arcy (c.1789 - 1868) was governor of the county gaol in Ennis from c. 1833 to 1863. Another D'Arcy, Giles D'Arcy (who may have been the son of John) also had association with the gaol. John D'Arcy retired as governor in May 1863.

These D'Arcys may possibly be connected with the Darcys you ask after.

Many thanks for this!
