• Notes

  Iain Lundy mentions, Wednesday, August 23, 2023 "my grandfather, (James Joseph Lundy), had a brother two years younger than him called Hugh. In the 1901 Irish census I have the two boys living with their uncles Hugh and John at a place called Seaforde, Co Down. Their mother had died when they were young, and it looks like they were farmed out to uncles.

Samuel and his wife Margaret seem to have lived in the south lodge while my grandparents were in the north lodge from the late 20s onwards. My grandfather, I think, was first employed by a family called French, so would have worked at Ashcraig under three owners including your parents. So the Fergusons were likely there before the French family. From what I understand from Arlene, the Fergusons came to Ashcraig from Dundonald in Ayrshire, not far from Troon. I emailed Arlene to tell her you had been in touch so I'm sure she'll be in contact. Regarding my folks and their history: My grandfather, James Lundy, was born in 1889 in Loughinisland, County Down, Northern Ireland. He moved to Scotland early last century and served in WW1. He was working as a gardener at the Polnoon Estate near a village called Eaglesham, south of Glasgow, which was where he met my grandmother. She had been born in Roy Bridge, Invernesshire, in 1900. She was orphaned at 14 and she went to work at the Eglinton Arms Hotel in Eaglesham, now a Best Western hotel. They got married in 1920 in Clarkston, south of Glasgow. In 1920 my grandfather was working as gardener at Redholm, a large house in Wemyss Bay. If you Google Map Wemyss Bay, you'll see a road just north of the pier that runs along the coast called Wemyss Bay Road. The third house along has a driveway leading to the house and diverging to the left, and that is Redholm. I've attached a photo I took a few years ago. My uncles Tommy and Donald were born there, and they moved to Ashcraig around 1926. My father was born there a year later and the youngest brother Hugh in 1932. Obviously, my father spent a lot of holiday time in Roy Bridge, and he met my mother, who was born there. So, my Roy Bridge roots are very deep. When I was young it seemed like the entire village was an uncle, aunt, cousin, or some sort of relative. Again, if you Google Map Roy Bridge you'll find an old crofting hamlet called Bohenie. My grandmother was brought up there and other members of my family have lived there over the generations. Regarding Loughinisland, it's a small market town but hit the headlines for all the wrong reasons during the Irish Troubles. In 1994 a group of villagers were in a bar watching a World Cup football match when two gunmen burst in and opened fire, killing six people including an 87-year-old man. So, a nice quiet wee place we come from. My grandparents lived in the North Lodge when I was born but I spent the first three years of my life in the South Lodge from 1956 to 1959. I'm honestly not sure why. My father was a motor mechanic working in Largs, so I don't know what the arrangement was. After we moved to Largs, we still spent a lot of time at Ashcraig. I seem to remember spending much of my summer holidays there one year and have very fond childhood memories of the place and the people who lived there. ++++++++++++ James Lundy in the UK, World War I Pension Ledgers and Index Cards, 1914-1923 Name: James Lundy Gender: Male Rank: Pte Record Type: Disability Birth Date: 1889 Residence Place: The Gdns, Redbolm Wemyss Bay Military Service Region: Scotland, Scotland Military Country: Scotland Discharge Date: 25 Mar 1919 Service Number: 22231 Corps, Regiment or Unit: Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers Service Branch: Military (Army) Title: WWI Pension Record Cards and Ledgers Description: Pension Record Ledger Reference Number: 1/ML/1903 Next of Kin: Name Relation to Soldier James Lundy https://search.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/sse.dll?db=WesternFrontAssociation&indiv=try&h=715883 ++++++++++++ 1935 North Ayrshire directory Lundie, James, gardener, Ashcraig Ferguson, James, labourer, Ashcraig Ferguson, Samuel, labourer, Ashcraig Ganley, Thomas, chauffeur, Ashcraig North Ayrshire directory by Directories. - Ayr, County of Publication date 1935 Usage Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 2.5 UK: ScotlandCreative Commons Licensebyncsa Publisher Ardrossan Collection scottishdirectories; nationallibraryofscotland; europeanlibraries Digitizing sponsor National Library of Scotland Contributor National Library of Scotland Language English Volume 1935-37 https://archive.org/stream/northayrshire193537dire/northayrshire193537dire_djvu.txt +++++++++++++++++ Maybe this one James Lundy in the Web: Ireland, Census, 1901 Detail Source Name: James Lundy Gender: Male Marital Status: Single Age: 12 Birth Date: abt 1889 Birth Place: Co Down Residence Date: 31 Mar 1901 House Number: 11 Residence Place: Ardtanagh, Seaforde, Down, Ireland Relation to Head: Nephew Occupation: At School Religion: Catholic Language Spoken: English Literacy: Read and write Household Members (Name) Age Relationship Hugh Lundy 48 Head of Family (Head) John Lundy 36 Brother James Lundy 12 Nephew Hugh Lundy 10 Nephew URL: http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Down/Seaforde/Ardtanagh/1227324/ https://www.ancestry.com/discoveryui-content/view/11365047:70667 +++++++++++++++++= https://ancestorium.com/tng/getperson.php?personID=I2098&tree=1 Contact Hamish Maclaren at maclaren@earthlink.net ++++++++++++++++++ James Joseph Lundy 1889–1963 BIRTH 8 SEP 1889 • Downpatrick, County Down, Ireland DEATH 6 NOV 1963 • Ashcraig Cottage, Skelmorlie, Ayrshire, Scotland From Lundy Family Tree.
