The Catholic Emancipation Act <br>of 1829 gave official permission for them, although some registers <br>go back further (presumably they were kept hidden until 1829).<p>Your best/only hope is that someone out there happens to have <br>Hussey family records with what you seek which were passed<br>down in a bible or some other family document.<p>My great-grandmother was Margaret Hussey of Ballybane East Townland<br>in Kiltullagh Parish, which is in western Co. Roscommon. The<br>Kiltullagh Parish Register begins in 1839 and that is as far back<br>as I have been able to go with that line. There may have been<br>Husseys in other Co. Roscommon parishes also, but I can tell you <br>that Kiltullagh Parish had many, many of them. There were big<br>families of Husseys in the townlands of Quartercastle, Lowberry,<br>and Clydagh, among others.<p>I hope somebody out there has what you seek....<br>Tom Voyles<br>
