John Hanbury (1664–1734) was one of a dynasty of ironmasters responsible for the industrialisation and urbanisation of the eastern valley through which runs the Afon Llwyd (in English "grey river") in Monmouthshire around Pontypool. Hanbury is most notable for patenting the rolling process of tinplating in the early 18th century. ==Background and marriage== Hanbury was born into a family ultimately from Hanbury, Worcestershire and was christened in Gloucester in 1664. Hanbury was the son of Capel Hanbury (1707–1765), who in turn was the third son of the first John Hanbury of Pursall Green.〔 In 1701 he married Albina, daughter of William Selwyn and Albinia daughter of Richard Betenson, and began to enlarge Park House in Pontypool, a property begun by his father in 1659. In December 1701 Hanbury became Member of Parliament for Gloucester, but after the death of Albina in 1702 he left politics for a short period. He regained his seat in December 1702, and in July 1703 he married Bridget, eldest daughter of Sir Edward Ayscough of Stallingborough and South Kelsey. With his marriage to Bridget came a fortune of £10,000 and connections with established political families. Bridget was a close friend of Sarah Churchill, Duchess of Marlborough and Hanbury was introduced to influential politicians.〔(Welsh Biography Online )〕 They had issue: * John Hanbury of Caerleon, Monmouthshire (1705-1739) ''dsp.'' * Sir Charles Hanbury KB - later he took the surname Hanbury-Williams- of Colbrook Park * George Hanbury of Colbrook Park (1745-1764) * George Hanbury RN (1722-1778) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「John Hanbury (1664–1734)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
