Reverend John Levingston.

[powerwicklow]

Has anyone come across anything on the Reverend John Levingstone. While he was born Carlow 1856 from what I can find he lived and ministered most of his life in Cork. He may of started his Ministry at Templemartin , Bandon, moving on to Christ Church , Drinagh where he was involved in the building of the new Church circa 1900. Shortly after the new Church was built he moved on to Carrigtwohill.

Any help much appreciated here.
John.

Ship records from the 1920s show Colville FLEWETT travelled to India

On her first trip she was accompanied by two children.
In 1928 she was not accompanied by her husband but had her three children aged 5, 3 and 1 with her

The child aged one has a birth record in Cork in 1927 and shown to travel again in the 1950s to India; she is shown as a missionary and as a medical prac.

In 1954 Colville FLEWETT travelled to India giving a home address in Belfast

editted to add

in 1959 Mr WE and Mrs CL FLEWETT travelled to Mombasa
They gave a home address of Rose Cottage, Portnoo, Co. Donegal
Dob for CL is the same as Colville Leamouth LEVINGSTON


Colville Learmouth FLEWETT died 1986 in North Shropshire, Shropshire
William Edward FLEWETT died 1991 in the same district

John Learmouth LEVINGSTON married Ethel Mary MANNING Aug 08 1923 LINK

Ethel Mary MANNING is shown on the 1911 census as 33 and was born on Jan 27 1885
There is a death in 1964 in Whitechurch Shropshire that is a good match

John Learmouth LEVINGSTON, with DoB Dec 03 1894, died in North Shropshire, Shropshire in 1985

[myluck!]

Thomas Clarke LEVINGSTON was in the Indian Army
He was married before 1925 as he travelled with his wife "Mrs Kathleen P" at that time
He died in Dorset in 1976

A Kathleen Patricia LEVINGSTON died in 1971 in the UK district Windsor, Berkshire

[myluck!]

Phoebe LEVINGSTON, with the same DoB as given above, died in North Shopshire, Shopshire in 1974
Phoebe travelled with Colville and her children in 1931


Jessie LEVINGSTON, with the same DoB as given above, died in North Shopshire, Shopshire in 1984


The family obviously relocated to the UK
There is a private family tree on ancestry which implies children of one couple are researching
