Hi Simon, I'm a newby on this site but have read a number of your threads relating to the Hussey Clan and though from County Galway now live in Perth WA the same as Ted Hussey with whom your already in contact.
I'm interested in the Hussey Clan from around the Castlerea area, parish of Kiltullagh to be exact. Not sure if it's the same branch as yours but do you have much info on the RC's around there, where they might have originated (I suspect Fermanagh perhaps from the Ulster Plantation) and are there docs where I could check that out. I know my Grandfather was Peter born 1883 and his parents were Patrick Hussey or Hussy and Bridget Cottle but it's hard to nail any links prior to the 1860's. I also know a bunch of the clan went to South Manchester UK in probably the late 19th and early 20th century and I'm more than likely related to a couple of well known wrestlers "Jumping Jim Hussey" and Mark Hussey aka "Rollerball Rocco" but again cant quite nail the link even after going through Irish & UK Census for 1901 & 1911.
Can you help?
