Border Family
Although its roots were English, the Hanmer family was just as much Welsh. This was quite common for border families of such standing and David Hanmer had strong Welsh connections. His father Philip Hanmer had married the daughter of a Welshman from Maelor Saesneg (the English-speaking Maelor) who rejoiced in the striking Welsh name of Dafydd ap Rhirid ab Ynyr ap Jonas of Llanerch Banna. She became David Hanmer’s mother.
