...... from Waterford to Radford ........... By 1653 Oliver Cromwell and his forces had subjugated the whole of Ireland. Many large estates, taken from Catholic overlords who were forced to relocate west of the Shannon, were broken up. Cromwell's soldiers, in lieu of arrears in payment, were to be given shares of these forfeited lands, by drawing lots according to their rank in the army. Kilcop House and lands, in Waterford County, was one of these forfeited properties, and Gregory Lymbery became its new owner. Lymbery's were to reside here for generations..... One of Gregory's descendants, John Lymbery (1789 - 1872), along with his elder sister Susannah, came to Nottingham sometime before 1806, took up residence in Hyson Green, Radford, built the first house there, and founded a dynasty of Lace Manufacturers, cricketers and footballers... Walter Roe Lymbery is John Lymbery's grandson. |
