[an error occurred while processing this directive] THE MAUNSELL FAMILY
of Ireland and Australia

Descended from William MAUNSELL and Dorothea GABBETT.

William Maunsell was the son of William MAUNSELL and Bridget WINTHROP.

For Dorothea's ancestry, see The Gabbett Family.

I have been unable to establish the connection between William Maunsell/Dorothea Gabbett and their descendants, and Richard Maunsell/Jane Waller/Margaret Twigg The Maunsell Family of Ireland. I am sure that William is a descendant of Richard, but I cannot find this link documented.
