Individual Details
Robert HUDSON
(1842 - 18 Feb 1917)
Robert became a medical doctor, having graduated in 1865 from Trinity College in Dublin. Although it is believed he set up a practice in Dingle, Co. Kerry around 1870 and lived there for the remainder of his working life, his address at the time of his marriage in 1885 was Kilflynn (near Tralee), Co. Kerry. Besides his Dingle practice Robert had dispensaries in Ventry and Murreigh, both near Dingle, and he provided medical attention to the people of the Blasket Islands, once being marooned there for a week due to rough weather. Robert spent 36 years working in the Dingle area. He lived at Bridge House in Dingle until about 1906 when he retired to Tralee, moving back to to Gortmore House, his old family home on Strand St.
Robert owned a number of properties in and around Tralee (on the Mall, Castle St., Dominick St., Blennerville and Blackpoole), which eventually passed to his daughter Saidie.
A Gerald Hudson with an address of the poor house in Dingle, son of a Robert Hudson and a Mary Kennedy, was baptised (Catholic) on 24 August 1874 in Dingle with a sponsor named Bridget Hannafin. Given the timing and the father's name, could Gerald have been our Robert's son? We have no further information on Gerald.
