"The Hanbidge memoirs provide a vivid and unique account of Protestant 'small farmer' life in West Wicklow in the nineteenth century, together with recollections of the 1798 rebellion. There are also glimpses of Jonathan Swift and members of the Synge family. William Hanbidge wrote at the behest of his daughter, setting down in a simple but detailed manner the life of his family, their farming practices, past-times, communal relations, religious views, and awareness of the outer world. His account of travelling to New York after the Famine with a party of boys is especially fascinating. No comparable account of his social group and class has ever been published." Mary Ann Hanbidge's devoted private publication of her father's memoirs, in which included many extra details of Wicklow life in the twentieth century, was eclipsed by the outbreak of the Second World War, when many copies were destroyed by bombing.
