Hi Ed
Do you know any more about the Donovans and or Hubberts?

not really, i haven't looked
not really, i haven't looked into it. In Richard Annesley 6th Earl of Anglesey (DNB 1693-1761) it says Lady Anglesey was Juliana (died 1776) daughter of Richard Donovan, a merchant of Wexford, so he was presumably Cornelius Donovan's father. Remember the first rule of research, if you can't go straight, go sideways
