Edward Fitzmaurice was baptised in the RC parish of Killukin & Killummod (now Croghan) on 29 June, 1817. His parents were Edward Fitzmaurice & Mary Lavin (Laven) with her siblings James & Anne Lavin acting as godparents. It was about this time that his parents had returned from Jamaica.

The surname Fitzmaurice aka Fitzmorris aka Fitzmauris is unusual in this district. 

  • In 1814 Catherine Fitzmaurice & Thomas Tansy baptised Brigid in Croghan. 
  • In 1815 Brigid Fitzmaurice & James Noon baptised Nicholas in Croghan. 
  • In 1817 Honor Fitzmaurice & James Keines baptised John in Croghan.
  • In 1817 Edward Fitzmaurice & Mary Lavin baptised Edward Jr. in Croghan.

By 1832, Edward had enlisted in the 44th regiment of foot. His older brother, Patrick Fitzmaurice, enlisted in the 30th regiment of foot (and by 1830 was married to Ellen) and seems to have returned to Roscommon. In their fathers will in 1842, Edward received part of his fathers land with his brother John in New Brunswick (Patrick, however, received very little in this will).  SOURCE

    Tithe Applotment Survey of Tumna

    <p>Compiled in the 1820-30s, tythes were a form of local tax for occupiers of agricultural land. Anyone with a holding of land greater than 1 acre was obliged to pay tithes as maintenance for the Church of Ireland (then responsible for poor relief in the parish). The tithes were calculated on the average price of oats (the principal type of "corn" grown in this district at that time) for the 7 years ending in November 1821.</p>
