While in London he met his future wife, Maureen Hussey, through Maureen's sister Sheila, who also worked at the Passport Office. Around 1948 he returned to Dublin to work in the Department of Foreign Affairs, by which time Maureen had moved to Dublin from London with her sisters. He later moved to the Department of Labour where he spent the rest of his career, mainly as a negotiator in industrial disputes. <br> <br> Cormac and Maureen lived with their family at 56 South Avenue, Mount Merrion, Co.

Within a short time, Cormac Gordon, a friend of hers whom she had first met in London when he worked in the Irish Passport Office, was back in Dublin, working in the Department of Foreign Affairs. Maureen and Cormac would later marry.<br> <br> After her arrival in Dublin, Maureen began training as a medical laboratory assistant, and after qualifying, worked mainly in Trinity College and also in Dr. Steeven's Hospital. When her mother became ill, Maureen resigned from her job to care for her.<br> <br> In her later years, Maureen became an active member of the Labour party; she also devoted more time to writing, a passion of hers since childhood. After her death, family members published two books of her work: a collection of poetry, 'The Tug of the Undertow', and a collection of prose and poetry, 'Into the Wind'.</p> </blockquote> </td> </tr></table><p>They had the following children. </p> <blockquote><table border="0" cellspacing="7"> <tr><td valign=top>&nbsp;</td> <td valign=top></td> <td valign=top>M</td> <td valign=top align=right>i</td> <td><a name="14C"></a> <a href="allg230.htm#14"><b>Stephen GORDON</b></a>.</td> </tr> <tr><td valign=top>&nbsp;</td> <td valign=top></td> <td valign=top>F</td> <td valign=top align=right>ii</td> <td><a name="32C"></a> <a href="allg03.htm#32"><b>Mary GORDON</b></a>.</td> </tr> <tr><td valign=top>&nbsp;</td> <td valign=top></td> <td valign=top>M</td> <td valign=top align=right>iii</td> <td><a name="13C"></a> <b><a name="13"></a>Donal GORDON</b>.</td> </tr> <tr><td valign=top>&nbsp;</td> <td valign=top></td> <td valign=top>M</td> <td valign=top align=right>iv</td> <td><a name="15C"></a> <a href="allg02.htm#15"><b>Cormac GORDON</b></a>.</td> </tr> <tr><td valign=top>&nbsp;</td> <td valign=top></td> <td valign=top>M</td> <td valign=top align=right>v</td> <td><a name="35C"></a> <a href="allg03.htm#35"><b>Thomas Laurence (Larry) GORDON</b></a>.</td> </tr> <tr><td valign=top>&nbsp;</td> <td valign=top></td> <td valign=top>M</td> <td valign=top align=right>vi</td> <td><a name="2C"></a> <a href="allg01.htm#2"><b>Joseph (Joe) GORDON</b></a>.</td> </tr> <tr><td valign=top>&nbsp;</td> <td valign=top></td> <td valign=top>M</td> <td valign=top align=right>vii</td> <td><a name="37C"></a> <a href="allg02.htm#37"><b>Jerome (Jerry) GORDON</b></a>.</td> </tr> </table> </blockquote> <hr> <table BORDER=0 CELLSPACING=5 WIDTH="100%" > <tr VALIGN=TOP> <td> <a href="images/19400.JPG" > <img SRC="images/19400.JPG" BORDER=0 height=111 width=100></a></td> <td><p> <b><a name="404"></a>Richard (Dick) O'CONNOR&nbsp;[<a href="allg01.htm#28">Parents</a>]</b> was born on 23 May 1919 in Kilbaha, Moyvane, Co.

Carlow.</p> <blockquote><p>Stephen grew up in Hammersmith, Kensington and Chelsea. Money was short, and he had to leave school at the age of 11 or 12 to help financially in the upbringing of his younger brothers and sisters. He's listed, aged 15, in the 1911 census as a builder's clerk. <br> <br> In 1914, at the beginning of World War I, Stephen joined the Royal Engineers Regiment of the British Army - the 'sappers', as they were known - and was sent to France. Sappers endured the most atrocious conditions and were always the last to leave an area when a retreat was taking place, blowing up roads and bridges behind them so as to slow up pursuit by enemy forces. During one such British evacuation, Stephen carried a wounded man to safety on his back, under gunfire, and was awarded the Military Medal.<br> <br> After the war, Stephen was trained as a builder by his grandfather, Thomas Hussey, and his uncle, Will Hussey. Stephen later formed a partnership with a Mr. Worman (Worman and Hussey), eventually setting up his own building company, Hussey Bros. (Builders) Ltd., on Queensway, Bayswater, London, with his brothers, Martin and Austin. The company was mostly involved in the building of churches, schools and convents, and for many years, Hussey Bros. had a maintenance contract with Westminster Cathedral. During World War II, once the German air assault on London started, the brothers worked mostly under official government contract on emergency repair and safety building work. After the war, the company built several modern churches.<br> <br> In 1947, Stephen and his wife, Mary, decided that their daughters would be better off living in Ireland, and so the girls moved to Dublin, the plan being that Stephen and Mary would initially remain in London and eventually retire to Dublin. Stephen and Mary sold their home in Barnes, moved into a flat over the premises of Hussey Bros. in Bayswater, and &nbsp;purchased a house in Roebuck Road in Clonskeagh for their daughters. However on an extended visit to the girls' new home, Mary became ill and died in Dublin.<br> <br> After Mary's death, Stephen visited Dublin more and more frequently. In 1957, with Maureen married, and Una and Brigie about to be married, he decided to sell the house on Roebuck Road, and a smaller house on Cedarmount Road in Mount Merrion was purchased. In the 1960s Stephen retired to Dublin, and for the remainder of his life he lived with Sheila at 14 Cedarmount Road.</p> </blockquote> </td> </tr></table><table BORDER=0 CELLSPACING=5 WIDTH="100%" > <tr VALIGN=TOP> <td> <a href="images/1a00.JPG" > <img SRC="images/1a00.JPG" BORDER=0 height=109 width=100></a></td> <td><p> <b><a name="26"></a>Mary RYAN&nbsp;[<a href="allg02.htm#187">Parents</a>]</b> was born on 24 Mar 1898 in Garryhill, Co.

Mary married Stephen HUSSEY on 22 Aug 1922 in Bagenalstown, Co. Carlow.</p> <blockquote><p>Sponsors at Mary's christening were Gerald Kearney and Clare O'Reilly.<br> <br> Mary was educated at the Loreto Secondary School on Dublin's St. Stephen's Green. After leaving school, Mary went to England and joined the Post Office Section of the British Civil Service in the Brook Green/Kensington area of London. <br> <br> Mary and her London-born future husband, Stephen Hussey, met at a local dance in west London. In comparision to his six-foot frame, five-foot-tall Mary was tiny. In 1921, about a year before their marriage, Stephen visited Ireland for the first time when Mary brought him to meet her family in Co. Carlow. After they married, Mary and Stephen lived in East Acton, and later at 12 Ullswater Road (which Stephen designed and built) in Barnes in London. <br> <br> Around 1948, after her eldest three daughters had moved to Ireland, Mary brought Brigie, the youngest, to Dublin to join her sisters. Mary's plan was to help her daughters settle in to their new home in Clonskeagh after which she would return to London. However while in Ireland her health began to deteriorate and it was discovered she had cancer. She never made it back to London, and died in Dublin aged only 52.</p> </blockquote> </td> </tr></table><p>They had the following children. </p> <blockquote><table border="0" cellspacing="7"> <tr><td valign=top>&nbsp;</td> <td valign=top></td> <td valign=top>F</td> <td valign=top align=right>i</td> <td><a name="6C"></a> <a href="allg01.htm#6"><b>Maureen HUSSEY</b></a> was born on 5 Jul 1924.

She was buried on 30 Jun 2003 in Glasnevin Cemetery, Dublin.<br> <br>Sheila grew up in Barnes in London where she was educated at a small French convent about a mile from her home. Barnes was heavily bombed during World War II and Sheila and her family spent much time in the air-raid shelter built by her father under the garage of their home.<br> <br> Sheila had an interesting encounter during World War II: one afternoon, &nbsp;having just returned from school, Sheila was sent by her mother to run some errands in Hammersmith. She was waiting at a bus stop in Barnes and, as usual, there were many army vehicles passing by. One of them, a large U.S. Army car with flags, stopped and a large, middle-aged officer sitting in the back of the vehicle and sporting an impressive array of medals, offered Sheila a lift. Sheila hopped in beside his driver and on the short trip to Hammersmith Broadway she and the officer chatted about school and her favourite subjects. It was only the next day, when she looked at the front page of the newspaper and saw a photograph of the same officer who had offered her the lift, that Sheila realised she had met General Dwight D. Eisenhower.<br> <br> After leaving school, Sheila started work in the Irish Passport Office at the Irish Embassy in London. Some time later, Sheila acted, unknowingly, as a matchmaker for two of her sisters: a group of young Irish civil servants had been sent from Dublin to augment the staff at the Irish Passport Office, and among them were Cormac Gordon and Michael Roantree. Sheila's mother, remembering how lonely she had felt when she had first arrived in London from Ireland, told Sheila to invite the newcomers to tea on Sundays. And that was how Sheila's sister Maureen met her future husband, Cormac. Another sister, Una, would later marry Michael's brother Tom. Sheila herself never married.<br> <br> After Sheila moved to Dublin in 1947 with her sisters, she worked briefly in advertising and then moved on to publishing and some freelance journalism. She then spent a number of years in the now-defunct Irish News Agency, after which she joined Coras Trachtála (the Irish Export Board) and worked for many years in public relations and press work. She lived on Cedarmount Road, Mount Merrion, Co. Dublin and in her retirement became an active member of the Green party.</td> </tr> </td> </tr></table><tr><td valign=top>&nbsp;</td> <td valign=top></td> <td valign=top>F</td> <td valign=top align=right>iii</td> <td><a name="63C"></a> <a href="allg05.htm#63"><b>Una HUSSEY</b></a> was born on 1 Oct 1928.

On 28 September 1914 he took over the management of the gasworks in Carrick-on-Suir (located on the Quay), eventually buying the Carrick gasworks from the owner, Mr. Anderson. I'm unsure as to the year of purchase but it would probably have been during the mid- or late 1930s as it's known that Mr Anderson still owned the Carrick gasworks in 1933.<br> <br> Difficulties in getting parts from England for gasworks repairs during World War II led to problems in manufacturing gas at the Carrick works so Thomas decided to switch to the making of charcoal and in 1942 the large gasometers were dismantled. The business eventually concentrated on the sales of coal, coke and briquettes, and subsequently incorporated sales of gas stoves and heaters.</p> </blockquote> </td> </tr></table><table BORDER=0 CELLSPACING=5 WIDTH="100%" > <tr VALIGN=TOP> <td> <a href="images/3c00.JPG" > <img SRC="images/3c00.JPG" BORDER=0 height=110 width=100></a></td> <td><p> <b><a name="60"></a>Ellen O'SULLIVAN&nbsp;[<a href="allg04.htm#335">Parents</a>]</b> was born on 24 Oct 1887 in Glynn, Mourneabbey, Co. Cork. She was christened on 25 Oct 1887 in Analeentha Church, Mourneabbey, Co. Cork. She died on 18 Sep 1972 in Carrick-on-Suir, Co. Tipperary. She was buried in New Cemetery, Carrick-on-Suir. Ellen married Thomas Joseph TREACY on 12 Jan 1915 in Church of S.S. Peter And Paul, Cork.</p> <blockquote><p>According to information from the Mallow Heritage Centre, the sponsors at Ellen's baptism were Cornelius Sweeney and Julia Curtin. It's believed Cornelius Sweeney was a neighbour of the Sullivans and it's thought he was married to one of Caheraveelane Sullivans who were related to Ellen. A granddaughter of Cornelius would later marry Ellen's brother Denis. Julia Curtin, the second sponsor, had been a neighbour of the Sullivans when they lived in Ballyknockane. Julia would later marry Sean O'Looney; they emigrated to the United States and had 12 children. Valuable information on the Sullivan family, for which I'm very grateful, came in November 2003 from 96-year-old Patrick, known as Pats, Curtin, a nephew of Julia's who lived in Ballyknockane with one of his daughters. Sadly Pats died in September 2004.<br> <br> It's thought Ellen, who was also known as Nellie, had some domestic training and subsequently became a parlour maid. I'm told she met her husband, Thomas Treacy, in Tipperary town where they were both working (Thomas worked at the gasworks in the town). Based on this information I believe I have located a 1911 census record for Ellen. An Ellen Sullivan, aged 24 (although our Ellen was actually 23 years of age at the time of the census) and born in Co. Cork, was working as a parlour maid at the home of law agent George Hugh Chetwood Townsend in Cordangan, just a couple of miles south of Tipperary town. It was a large house and, along with Ellen, six other servants are listed. <br> <br> However according to Ellen's marriage certificate, her residence at the time (January 1915) was Lavitt's Quay, Cork but it's not known how she came to live in Cork after apparently having met Thomas. She did have an uncle, Mike Doody, who was living on Lavitt's Quay at the time of the 1911 census. Perhaps he was still there in 1915 and she was staying with him or working for him? <br> <br> It's thought Ellen - or perhaps Thomas, her husband - may have been related to a Hewitt family which included Patrick (1897-1979), a Holy Ghost priest who did missionary work in Tanganyika (now part of Tanzania), his brother James (1900-1974), a Holy Ghost brother who worked at Blackrock College in Dublin as a ground staff supervisor, and their sister Biddy who married a J.J. Healy and lived in Carrick-on-Suir. Other relatives of Ellen or Thomas included a couple who lived on or near Flamborough Head in Yorkshire in the 1940s. All we know of this couple is that the husband was in the merchant navy. Further information would be most welcome. &nbsp;&nbsp;<br> <br> </blockquote> </td> </tr></table><p>They had the following children. </p> <blockquote><table border="0" cellspacing="7"> <tr><td valign=top>&nbsp;</td> <td valign=top></td> <td valign=top>M</td> <td valign=top align=right>i</td> <td><table BORDER=0 CELLSPACING=5 WIDTH="100%" > <tr VALIGN=TOP> <td></td> <td><a name="25C"></a> <b><a name="25"></a>Patrick TREACY</b> was born in between 1915 and 1920 in Waterford.

However she was called Joan by her family. She used this name for most of her life until about the time she retired when she changed it to Jo-Ann. &nbsp;<br> <br> Jo-Ann trained as a nurse in Manchester. She had always wanted to travel so she joined the QARANC (Queen Alexandra's Royal Army Nursing Corps). She served in Libya (in Benghazi), Cyprus, Hong Kong, Germany and Singapore. During her early years abroad Jo-Ann became very interested in nursing education and undertook a two-year course in Hull University obtaining a Diploma in Nurse Training and Education. Afterwards she spent many years training student nurses overseas and continued this work after her return to England in the 1970s. Back in England, she was appointed matron of Woolwich Hospital (the Royal Herbert) and retired as Director of Studies at Woolwich, and as an acting colonel. Following her retirement she lived briefly in Brighton before settling in Henfield in West Sussex.
