Huband, George, M. A.,

Representative of Hubands of Warwick and Derbyshire and his grandfather in 1835, in his landed property in County Dublin.
‘This family’ says Wooton, is of very ancient and worthy extraction and descended from Hugo Hubold who held Ipsley of Osbernus at the Norman invasion; and they have contained Lords of this ancient manor in a lineal succession until now (1727). Hugo also appears in the Domesday Book as holding the lands of Ipsley at the Norman invasion in 1063; and Dugdale mentions him as ancestors of the Hubands of Warwickshire and Derbyshire from this Hugo descended William Hubold, sometimes written Hubant, living 5 Stephen 1140, and High Hugh Hubold who held the manor of Ipsley in 1189. The son of the former (William).

Note: I do not know Mr. Huband, but he is a very distinguished bookman,
for I am told, he wrote a book on engraving, that he printed it with his
own hands, and engraved the plates (he also bound it) so that he beats
the curate of Lusleigh, immortalized in "Nichols Anecdotes" (Dibdins
Beographical Decameron) Dr. Dibdin adds "Lord Spencer possess the only
copy (presented to him by the author) of this curious performance which
I have seen in England."
