Elizabeth Fitzgerald was born Cahir 1 November 1837

TipperaryCaher (Tipperary)

Hello Tom and others,

I am looking for any connection between my Murphy ancestors and Elizabeth Fitzgerald who was apparently born in Cahir on 1 Nov 1837. She came to NSW and married a man named William Bagnall Laird in 1895. They lived on a property called Willowdale near the town of Boggabri, NSW. I am wondering if Elizabeth Fitzgerald had any connection with the Murphy family of Cahir. ie. James Murphy and Elizabeth Murphy of the Glengall Arms Hotel. Their daughter, myg-g-grandmother Margaret Murphy, lived in the Boggabri area also in that time period.

Thanks, Lyn Stewart

Hi Lyn,

I'm afraid the only record of a Fitzgerald - Murphy marriage in Cahir from www.rootsireland.ie/ is this one from 1863:

The National Library of Ireland has the R C registers free to search & there are Cahir marriages from 1776 to 1835 & 1836 to 1866 if you want to plough through those (regsiters.nli.ie/)
