MY THANKS TO CORMAC GORDON FROM BRAY, AND SHEILA HUSSEY FROM MOUNT MERRION, FOR PROVIDING SO MUCH INFORMATION ON THE HUSSEY FAMILY.

According to family sources, our Hussey family came from the Dingle area of Co. Kerry, but we have discovered that William's son, also named William, was born in Castleisland, Co. Kerry. I am therefore assuming that our Husseys came from Castleisland rather than Dingle. Griffith's Valuation (1847-1864) data was checked for Husseys in Castleisland and eight parcels of land were occupied by Husseys at the time: three in the townland of Caheragh, two in Crag, and one each in Dromultan, Kilbannivane and Moanmore. It's possible our Husseys hailed from one of these townlands.

Note: The Hussey surname is common throughout Ireland, especially in counties Kerry and Galway. There were originally two groups of Husseys in the country, the 'Ó h-Eodhasa' family of Co. Fermananagh and the Norman 'de Hosey' family who settled in counties Meath and Kerry.

Julia 'UNKNOWN' was born in prob Co. Kerry. She married William HUSSEY.

John BUCKLEY.

According to the marriage certificate of his son, also named John, John above was a labourer.

There's an 1841 census return for the household of a John Buckley in St. Anne parish, Soho, London who may be our John above seeing that his son John was born in Soho. John, the householder in the census return, lived at what looks like 2 Falconbey Court in Soho and his is the only Buckley household in Soho listed on the www.ancestry.co.uk 1841 census records. He was aged 40, Irish-born and a "market man". His wife, Faith was also 40 and Irish-born. Also listed are John, aged 15 and born in England, presumably his son, and Dennis aged 75 and a shoemaker, presumably his father or uncle (relationships are not recorded in the 1841 census).

George Charles BUCKLEY [Parents] was born 4 Jul 1861 in 17 Brydges St., Covent Garden, London. He died 17 Aug 1932 in Woodend Hospital, Aberdeen and was buried in Huntly cemetery, Aberdeenshire. George married Mary INGRAM on 29 Jan 1898 in St. Margaret's Catholic Church, Huntly, Aberdeenshire.

I'M VERY GRATEFUL TO FIONA HAY, A GREAT-GRANDDAUGHTER OF GEORGE ABOVE, FOR SHARING HER INFORMATION ON GEORGE AND HIS DESCENDANTS.

George was adopted by Charlotte Anne Brett (born 1829) of Huntly in Aberdeenshire in Scotland. Charlotte was the widow of Major Reginald Brett who had died in 1859 on board ship (the Eastern Monarch) on his way from India to England. She was a member of the Drummond family of Megginch Castle in Perthshire; her parents were Adam Augustus Drummond and Sandelia Symon, and her grandparents were Admiral Sir Adam Drummond and Lady Charlotte Murray. Charlotte and Reginald had had a child, Reginald Charles Augustus Brett, who was born 3 September 1846 but who died in infancy.

The circumstances of George's adoption are not known but it's not surprising he was adopted because some of his older siblings appear to have been raised by relatives, indicating their parents died when they were very young.

The 1871 census of Scotland lists nine-year-old George in Charlotte's household at Lonach Lodge in Strathdon, Aberdeenshire. The 1891 census places him in Chapel St. in Huntly, his occupation being a painter's apprentice. At the time of his marriage in 1898 he was living at 5 Bogie St. in Huntly and was a journeyman house painter; and at the time of the 1901 census, he and his family were at 15 Littlejohn St., also in Huntly.

George and his wife Mary are both buried in Huntly, next to Charlotte.
