Ellen Fitzgerald- b. 16 Jun 1812-Parents John & Catherine Fitzgerald- Boherard Limerick

She married William Quaid/Quain- B. abt 1799-Crean Limerick. Died March 1882-Crean

Looking for more information- Cant find their marriage record? I think William might have been marriage twice? Their son William (jr) was born 18 Jan 1839 Croom Limerick

Would love to know more information about John & Catherine Fitzgerald

Also who were William Quain/ Quaids bn 1799 -parents ? I had Patrick Quain and Catherine Ryan but not sure if that is correct ?

Many thanks for any help

Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!

I checked Roots Ireland and could not locate a marriage between 1830-1850 between Ellen Fitzgerald and William Quaid.

I think the family lived in Glenogry civil parish and here is the 1850 Griffiths Valuation head of household lisitng for that parish. There are also Fitzgeralds in that parish including a Catherine Fitzgerald. As far as I can tell the RC parish corresponding to Glenogry would be Bruff. You may want to search the parish register to see if you can locate the marriage record.

Hi There & Happy New Year !!

 

I  REALLY  need help here :) Thank-you Roger & Pat for your replies ♥

MY Great grandfgather = John Joseph Quaid- b. 5 Feb 1869-Manister Croom :Baptism - 5 Dec 1869 -Crean  Manister Limerick ... The church record online shows  father William Quaid Mother Maria Hannon witnesses John Quaid and Maria Fitzgibbons..But I checked the actually church parish record & it is clearly an error as his mother is clearly shown as "Kate Fitzgibbons"

Kate Fitzgibbons B. 1842 Bulgaden - Father - James Fitzgibbons & Mother Maria Sullivan

William Quaid-b. 1839- Father -William Quaid or Quain & mother Nellie ( Helena ) Fitzgerald .

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I cant find a Marriage for William Quaid & Nellie ( Helena) Fitzgerald either ?? The only one I found is this one 1826:

Marriage:

Name

Gulielmus Cullinane

Gender

Male

Event Type

Marriage

Marriage Date

Feb 1826

Marriage Place

Ireland, Ballingarry, Ireland

Diocese

Limerick

Spouse

Helena FitzGerald

 

=========================================================

If this is correct then my William & Nellie would be born earlier than 1811/1812. If I could find their deaths then maybe that would help ??

 

William & Kate and family left Ireland between 1882 & 1885 ..their youngest son James b. 15 April 1882-Rathmore and died in Minnesota-16 oct 1885. I assume William ( sr) and Nellie would have died before they left (but I could be wrong.)

 

My Grandmother always said we were related to JFK 's mothers Fitzgerald family from Bruff- she passed away in 1976 so I do not know the connection.

=======================================================================================

 

I also found a brother to My William b. 1839- He was John Quaid-Name: John Quane Date of Birth: Date of Baptism: 27-Jun-1850 Address: Parish/District: DROMIN & ATHLACCA Gender: Male County Co. Limerick Denomination: Roman Catholic Father: William Quane Mother: Ellen Fitzgerald.. John Married Elizabeth Johanna Casey- they also moved to Minneapolis MInn and died there.

I am not sure this information helps or not ??

Any help you can give me would be wonderful ♥

 

Thanks alot & Happy New Year !!
