1901 Cavan census - Knocknalosset (Knockbride parish) - LUCAS

[T R Lucas]

I am one of the Ulster Lucas', my grandfather was called Thomas Robert Lucas and he lived in Cootehill until 1921. Are you seeking info about our family?

[tyler35]

Yes Thomas Robert Lucas was my great Grandfather, my grandfather was Bobby Lucas who moved to Hillsborough from Cavan , Do you have info on Thomas and his wife and siblings?

[T R Lucas]

I am sure some of my aunts have the info you are looking for however if your grandfather was Bobby Lucas then we probably have the same aunties.

I will ask them and my dad the next time I am home, I thought I knew all my cousins Tyler, do you know Naomi or Salfran?

I have been researching several Wilson families in Knockbride Parish. An Ann Wilson married William Bodell 31 MAR 1851, Knockbride. Ann was the daughter of William Wilson and she was 21 years of age. (b.1830)
I have a transcript of a letter sent by a William Kelly of Lisdonan, Knockbride, to Jane Wilson in Canada. In one paragraph he writes to Jane " your sister Ann, she and her husband are well and her  family. She has 3 daughters away from home, 2 in New Zealans (sic) and 1 in Australia". 
I have been unable to prove that this "sister Ann" is the sister of Jane in Canada.
There is a Wm. Bodel, and wife Ann, both age 65, in the 1901 Drumhilla census. Ann must have died between 1901 and 1911, because in 1911 William is a widower.
The spelling of name varies from Bodell, Bodle Bodel.

Perhaps there is more than one 'John William Lucas' in Co. Cavan (?).

My mother was a daughter (born 1920) of John William Lucas and Frances (nee Brown). She was one of their twelve children born in Co. Cavan.

As I know, he was a farmer and merchant, who lived in Cavan until sometime in the twenties, when the family moved to Belfast.

Perhaps they were related (?).

As a child, I visited the home in which my mother and her family lived. It was at an intersection of roads near Cootehill, and in that day was still known as "Lucas's Cross."

She spoke of Knockbride Church and also mentioned the Church of Ireland at Dernakesh, Co. Cavan, as their parish church, at which births, marriages and deaths were registered.
