William HUDSON died in possibly Bunagara, Listowel, Co. Kerry. He married 'UNKNOWN'.

William, a Protestant, was from Bunagara (also spelled Bunagarha), just east of Listowel, Co. Kerry. His family was connected to my Hudson family, who were Catholic (from a conversion by my great-great-great-grandfather Richard Hudson upon marriage to a Catholic) who settled in Kilbaha, Newtownsandes (now named Moyvane), Co. Kerry in the mid-19th century.  

William owned three farms in Bunagara (by 1960 these farms were in the ownership of Patrick Behan, Eugene O'Sullivan and Mick O'Sullivan). William also leased a considerable amount of land in Kilbaha from William Talbot and the Sandes family. On 20 April 1771, he assigned the Kilbaha land to his son Edward.

It's known there was another Hudson family with Bunagara associations who may or may not be connected to the family of William above. Edward Hudson and Mary Gallivan/Galvin had at least six children: Ellen (born in 1821), William (1832), Elizabeth (1835), Mortimer (1838), Catherine (1841) and John (1846). Although we don't know if Edward was born into the Protestant faith, we do know that his children were baptised into the Catholic church. At the time of Ellen's birth, the family was living in Bunagara but it appears they subsequently moved to Warren/Warrin in Ballybunion, Co. Kerry. Another Hudson with a Bunagara connection was a Miss Nora Hudson from Bunagara who owned a pub on Church St. in Listowel which she later sold to a man by the name of Keane. Nora was Catholic.
