Hi There My grandfather was a Luckman. from the info so far my Luckmans were from Warwickshire { Ryton / Sowe/ wolvey and clilton cotton.

Hi eadaoin, sorry it has took so long but i have finally found my notes...                                                     Three Rosmininan sisters came to whitwick on the 21st may 1875 and taught in a convent school for girls and an infant school for poor boys and girls. The already existing 'POOR SCHOOL' Turry Log on the road to Grace Dieu had been built by Mr Ambrose Phillips De Lisle. The convent school was housed in two cottages next to the presbytery. Mrs De Lisle was in charge of the schools.                             The sisters remained there until 1880 when it was taken over by the Sisters Of Charity of St Paul. The Rosminian Sisters returned in 1888 and remained there until 1973 at there departure the convent and adjoining cemetery were sold.                                                                                                        However some sisters from Loughborough (where the Rosminians  have there convent} continued for many years to visit the sick and poor, taught in the school and in more recent times attended the Sacristy of Holy Cross Church.                                                                                                In 1902 the new school of Holy Cross and a new Presbytery were built. In 1906 a new church of Holy Cross was built and the first mass was celebrated there in 1906.
