Individual Details
Thomas Aloysius HUSSEY
(8 Apr 1864 - 30 Mar 1916)
Thomas's baptismal sponsors were Joannus Lejeune and Eliza Clube.
Thomas, who was educated at St. Edmund's Roman Catholic College in Hertfordshire, followed in his father's footsteps and became a builder.
Thomas and his brother James were to marry two sisters, Mary and Jane Butler respectively. It is possible the two brothers met the two sisters through their families having possibly been neighbours at some point because at the time of the 1881 census, the Butlers were living at 32 St. Mary Abbots Terrace in Kensington (they later moved but it is not known when), and at the time of the 1891 and 1901 censuses, Thomas's parents were living at 23 St. Mary Abbots Terrace (having moved there sometime after 1884). Or perhaps the connection is through Mary and Jane's younger brother, William, who may have attended St. Edmund's at the same time as some of Thomas's brothers.
It is known that Thomas and his family were living in Albert Hall Mansions, Kensington, built by Thomas's father, from at least 1891 to 1901. It appears that by 1911 Thomas and Mary had separated as they are listed at different addresses in the census of that year, with Thomas appearing to be living alone at 150 Blyth Road, Fulham, London. I have been told that Thomas may have gone to the United States to work at one point but no emigration records have been located to support this.
Thomas died in 1916, aged about 52, of sarcoma of the spine and post-operative shock at the National Hospital, Queen's Square, Holborn, London. His home address at the time was 110 Baron's Court Road, West Kensington (where his son Laurie was living in 1915).
