Laurence was probably the eldest of the three sons of Anthony Hussey and his wife Catherine (Webbe, of Dedham, Essex), who were married by 1526.
He wrote from Edinburgh on the international situation to the border warden Lord Wharton, including inaccurate news of a French military success in Italy, and reported the safe arrival at Leith of three English ships scattered from a northern fleet by a storm.
[5] Hussey was acting on behalf of Margaret Douglas to ask forgiveness for her husband Matthew Stewart, 4th Earl of Lennox, then judged a rebel to the Scottish crown.
[7] An inscription in the Church of St Nicholas, Charlwood, Surrey, recorded the burial of his daughter Katherine in 1626, wife of Sir William (Edmond) Jordan of Gatwick, and that Laurence had a Doctor's degree, was a Master of Chancery, and was the son of Anthony Hussey, the queen's agent in Germany, Belgium and Russia.
His sister Ursula became the wife of Benjamin Gonson, Surveyor of the Navy; his brother William Hussey was briefly appointed Registrar to Reginald Pole, Archbishop of Canterbury, in 1558, but died unmarried in late October 1559, aged 27, and was buried in St Martin, Ludgate.
