Hello IJ I haven't found anything on your James Kennedy, however, I found a 1930 Irish Times obit for Lord Rathcreedan, Captain Cecil Norton. He was the 2nd husband of Cecilia Lafayette Kennedy Cavendish. The article says she died in 1898, but had one daughter with Lord Rathcreedan. The obit doesn't mention the daughter's name. I'll try and send the article to you separately. Nan It does mention "The Limes" Co Down. There is a place (comtemporary) in Malone Park, Belfast called The Limes, but I don't know if that has any connection to the place you are looking for.

Follow up IJ: I see there is a reference to it also in Christopher Brennan's Earls Family Chronicles: http://www.dankat.com/earls/chap10.htm > Leita Brown was born in 1910 and married James Carson. They lived at > ``The Limes'', Lough Road, Lurgan. Leita died in 1969. I think if you Google it you will find some more.
