22. Robert (Bob) Edward HUSSEY (Thomas Aloysius HUSSEY , Agnes DEVINE , Catherine ) was born 3 Jan 1892 in probably Westminster, London. He died 8 Oct 1947 in London.

According to the 1911 census, Bob was a leather currier. This would have been at the Connolly Leather company, owned by the family of his future wife, Vera Connolly. It's believed Robert got the job with the Connollys, at the age of 13, thanks to the influence of one of his grandmothers (probably Agnes Hussey) who was a good friend of one of Vera's grandmothers.

Robert married Veronica (Vera) CONNOLLY, daughter of Samuel Frederick CONNOLLY and Josephine SIMONIA, in 1921 in Kingston upon Thames, England. Veronica was born 1894 in Islington, London. She died 29 Jul 1976.

Vera's grandfather on her mother's side was Swiss, while her Connolly ancestors were Irish, emigrating to England in the late 18th century. Vera's father was in the leather processing business, having founded Connolly Leather, the Wimbledon-based company that eventually specialised in the manufacture of seating for luxury cars. Among the contracts awarded to the company was the provision of leather for the furnishings aboard the Queen Mary ocean liner, launched in 1936, for which Vera and Bob received a free return voyage to New York.      

Vera, Bob and their family lived in Putney in London.

28. Stephen HUSSEY (James HUSSEY , Agnes DEVINE , Catherine ) was born 25 Jul 1895 in Hammersmith, London. He died 7 Sep 1978 in Dublin and was buried in Glasnevin Cemetery, Dublin.

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.

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.

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.

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  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.

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.

Stephen married Mary RYAN, daughter of Malachy RYAN and Mary MURPHY, on 22 Aug 1922 in Bagenalstown, Co. Carlow. Mary was born 24 Mar 1898 in Garryhill, Co. Carlow and was christened 27 Mar 1898 in Bagenalstown, Co. Carlow. She died 18 Nov 1950 in Dublin and was buried in Glasnevin Cemetery, Dublin.

Sponsors at Mary's christening were Gerald Kearney and Clare O'Reilly.

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.

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.

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.
