« on: Monday 15 November 10 04:06 GMT (UK) »Hi All, Could there be a family connection between Ulyses Hubert Burgh born 1850 Caernarvon and Ulysses(Baron Downs) Burgh married 1846 St. Geo Han Sq and the Hussey family (descended from Earls) in county Kerry?Yes they are all "cousins" descended from Rt Rev Ulysses Burgh, of Dromkeen, Bishop of Ardagh (abt 1640-1692). Ignatius Hussey (of Donore, co Kildare-abt 1682-1743) married Elizabeth Burgh (of Oldtown, Naas, Co Kildare -1705-1757)....my 6th great grandparents.
Their son Walter Hussey-Burgh (1742-1783) assumed the name of Burgh upon the death of a maternal uncle, the Rev. Rickard Burgh, whose estates in the County of Limerick (Dromkeen) he inherited.
Wlater married Anne Burgh (his 2nd cousin). Walter's son, the Rev John Hussey-Burgh suceeded at Dromkeen and Walter (subject of this thread) was his eldest son.
Maj. General Sir Ulysses de Burgh and 2nd Lord Downes (1788-1863) married Maria Bagenal on 20 June 1815 (not 1846). They lived at Merville House in Dublin. Ulysses was the son of Thomas Burgh of Bert House and was the cousin of Elizaberth Burgh who married Ignatius Hussey.
