Family
Amy Barrington is the second youngest daughter of Edward George Barrington and his second wife Huldah (Strangman) Barrington. She has four sisters, Anna Barrington, Huldah Barrington, Victoria Barrington and Marion Barrington, as well one brother Richard Barrington. Amy Barrington also had many half siblings from her father's previous relationship with Sarah Barrington. Her family home is located in Fassaroe, Bray, County Wicklow, Ireland. After the passing of John Barrington, Edward Barrington, his son and father of Amy Barrington had trouble renewing the lease on Glendruid house for his mother. Following the death of his mother, Margaret Barrington, the house was passed down to Amy's uncle, Manliffe. He then left the house to his brother Arthur, who then passed the house to his nephew Francis Malone. Frank then left the house to his widowed wife Victoria Barrington.

Their home in Fassaroe was rented by her father and then bought by her brothers Mr. Richard M. Barrington under the Land Purchase Acts from Mr George Crampton. Her grandfather, John Barrington, is buried in a private cemetery at the home along with other Barrington ancestors.

Amy Barrington went on to write a book about her family's history called "The Barringtons - A Family History", located in the National Library of Ireland. Amy was able to gather information about her family due to her sister, Mrs. Davis and her cousin Emily Malone collecting and storing pedigrees of the family. The information within the pedigrees allowed for Amy to investigate her family's history.
