I am just looking for any Hensons in or from Westmeath or anywhere else in Ireland. I have found that vikings inhabited Westmeath, thus, perhaps, the name of Henson.
Any info will be appreciated. Thank you.

Hi Joseph, looking at old queries and I see that Westmeath was the Mecca for Henson with 8, https://www.johngrenham.com/surnames/
Free for surname searches, also using Griffiths Valuation see here for free https://www.askaboutireland.ie/griffith-valuation/ ;
Census for 1901 and 1911 are free online as are civil records for all from 1864 https://www.irishgenealogy.ie/en/ ; Protestant marriages from 1845 also.

There are private genealogy groups on Facebook using areas and there is at least one in Westmeath.
