Gr,Gr grandparents: Susanna FITZPATRICK married Patrick CREW of Co Tipperary 4 April 1843 in the Parish of Urney, Co Cavan. : Catholic Parish Register 1655 - 1915.   Patrick and Susanna with three children left for New Zealand 1849.  Three further children were born in Auckland, NZ.  Children as listed: Mary Anne, Henry, Eliza, Catherine, John Joseph-my Gr grandfather, and Susanna.

The family arrived into Auckland on the 'Oriental Queen' 18 Sept 1849.  After her husband Patrick died in 1865 Susanna moved to Thames (NZ) to live with or near her daughter Eliza, dying 1894 of old age and is buried in the Shortland Cemetery (RC), Thames, NZ.  Her age was 78 on the death certificate, undertaker being the informant.

I believe the above Susanna is the Susan (under 1) listed in the (fragmented) 1821 Census for Cullistraugh (Cullentragh), Parish Castletara, Co Cavan along with parents John and Mary, siblings Mary (18), Thos (11), James (9), Bridget (5), Ellen (3).  This has not been confirmed   -   If this is my Susanna in the 1821 census she would have been 74 when she died.  

Why do I think this is my Susanna in the census:   Witness 1 on Church Marriage record is Francis Moran and witness 2 is Bridget Flood.  A Bridget Flood aged 3 and family is listed in the same census, living in the townland of Carratuber (Corratober) in the Parish of Castletara being 14km in distance.    Also a Francis Moran (b c1811) as per 1821 Census, also listed in Griffith Valuation a Francis Moran at Kilnavara.   

If I find this information incorrect I will advise with a followup message.
