Anne Penelope GRUEBER ¹

  General Notes:

in the second part of Graves' biography of Hamilton, the death of Mrs. Bayly is described, she died at Dunsink Observatory on 30 September 1837, see <https://archive.org/stream/lifeofsirwilliam02gravuoft#page/210/mode/2up>
Graves writes:
The lady whom Hamilton married in the year 1833 was a daughter of the Rev. Henry Bayly, Rector of Nenagh, in the county of Tipperary, a member of the family whose head is settled at Debsborough in that county : she was in this way connected with Lord Dunalley and with Dean Head, Dean of Killaloe, who were neighbours in the country, took an interest in the marriage, and were subsequently Hamilton's acquaintances and correspondents. Miss Bayly's mother, whose maiden name was Grueber, and who by her letters appears to have possessed a bright mind and amiable disposition, was at this time a widow and resided at Bayly Farm, near Nenagh.

``She (Anne Grueber) had many children, two of whom were married to brothers, Mr. William and Mr. Henry Rathborne, whose country-houses, Scripplestown and Dunsinea, were in immediate neighbourhood to the Observatory. With the elder of these sisters, Mrs. William Rathborne of Scripplestown, Helen Bayly was often a guest.''
Graves 1885, p 2. And Graves knew them well.
