Honora Fitzpatrick was from Murroughkilly in County Clare. Her father was Thomas Fitzpatrick. Thomas was listed as a herdsman on Honor's marriage record to Michael O'Connors in 1876. Thomas was also listed as deceased at the time of Honor's marriage. Her mother is probably Bridget Donohoe.  Honora was born around 1854. She had a younger brother Michael Fitzpatrick who lived in Murroughkilly as well. There is a baptism record in Murrough for Michael Fitzpatrick in 1855 with parents Thomas Fitzpatrick and Bridget Donohoe.

Honor married Michael O'Connors in February 1876. They had 6 children - Bridget(Delia) in 1876, Mary in 1879, Honora in 1881, Patrick in 1885, Thomas in 1889 and Michael in 1897. Delia moved to Boston in 1896. In 1901 the rest of the family is shown on the 1901 Census living in Murroughkilly. Honora's brother Michael lives in the next house number with his family (Bridget Roach is his wife). In March 1902 Honora's husband Michael O'Connors dies. In 1903, the middle daughter Mary moves to Cambridge, Mass and lists a cousin Mary Burke as her contact in the USA. In 1910, the middle son Thomas moves to Cambridge, Mass and lists his sister Mary as his contact in the USA. In the 1911 census in Ireland, Patrick and Michael are listed as living with their uncle Michael Fitzpatrick in Murroughkilly. Their mother Honora (O'Connors) is not shown as living in Murroughkilly. Also missing is their youngest sister Honora. In 1911, the eldest son, Patrick moves to Somerville, Mass and lists his older sister Mary as his contact in the USA. In 1913, the youngest son, Michael moves to the USA and makes the journey with his cousin Bridget Fitzpatrick(age 22) and another cousin Bridget Howard(age 11). 

 

I have been unable to find out what happened to Honora O'Connors (nee Fitzpatrick) or her youngest daughter Honora.
