Individual Details
Edward HUDSON
(Abt 17 Dec 1801 - 30 Jul 1871)
Edward was the sole surviving son of Edward and Honora's nine children (six daughters and three sons). Edward junior was a "landed proprietor" (according to the marriage certificate of his son Robert), is listed in Griffith's Valuation of 1851 as landlord of some 440 acres in Kilbaha in the parish of Newtownsandes (now called Moyvane) owned by the Sandes family. The property comprised the entire area of the townland of Kilbaha North (there is also a Kilbaha South, Kilbaha West and Kilbaha Middle). My own Hudson family, from Kilbaha in Moyvane in Co. Kerry, is connected to Edward's family but the exact relationship has not yet been established.
Edward renewed the Kilbaha lease, previously held by his father, on 1 October 1839) and a Lease in Perpuity was granted to Edward on 7 April 1859. It was on a parcel of this land that my ancestor Richard Hudson settled as a tenant around the late 1840s. In 1915 a number of Richard's descendants purchased their holdings at a favourable price.
Edward lived in Gortmore House (now the Bon Secours Hospital) on Strand St. in Tralee. According to Griffith's Valuation, he rented 11 acres and No. 25 Strand St. from Thomas de Moleyns, and four acres and No. 27 Strand St. from Sir Edward Denny); presumably Gortmore House stood on one of these properties.
There was another Edward Hudson in Kerry at the time who married an Elizabeth Kivell and had a daughter named Emma Jane who was born in the Tarbert area of Co. Kerry on 28 October 1871. Could this Edward be related to our Hudson family?
It is believed that many of the older generations of the Tralee Hudsons, who were Protestant, are buried in Ballyseedy Churchyard just outside Tralee.
Further information on Edward and his descendants is available in 'The Hudsons of Tralee' one of a number of volumes written by Bill Hudson of Florida who was a descendant of the Kilbaha Hudsons (I have yet to take a look at this work). Beginning in 1956, Bill studied his Hudson family history right up to his death in 2008 and donated copies of the results of his research to the public libraries in Tralee and Listowel.
