Fitzgerald family

Hello, Amelia. What time period are we looking at? Do know when the children might have been born? When did they emigrate?

Did both parents and all 6 children emigrate?

 

Which children seem to have been born in Tipperary and which ones in Limerick? Was the information about birthplace from U.S. census?

Do you know  religious denomination of the family? Civil registration of births began 1864 so if they were born before 1864 it's necessary to look at parish registers.

Good morning,

Thank you so much for getting back so quickly.  From the research that I have done from here, I believe that only the 6 children came to America, but I may be wrong. I think they emigrated at different times. Alice M. Fitzgerald was born March 18, 1831 in Carrick-on-Suir, Tipperary, Ireland. She married William J. Quan, son of James Quan and Ellen Gorman, on August 1, 1851 in St. Louis, Missouri. William J. Quan was born May 14, 1826 in Carrick-Beg, Ireland and he died on September 17, 1906 in Evanston, IL.

Anastasia Fitzgerald was born in Ireland and I am assuming in Carrick-on-Suir.  She married Michael Power(s) in July 1844, in Carrick-on-Suir, Tipperary (waterford & Lismore Diocese). They had a daughter, Elizabeth "Lizzie" Powers born January 20, 1846 in Waterford. Her death certificate indicates that she was born February 19, 1848, in Waterford, so I am not quite sure which s correct. Both parents died when she was quite young and she and possibly two sublings went to live with her aunt Alice Fitzgerald Quan. I found a Willam Powers who was born in 1855, but not sure about him.

Thomas Edward Fitzgerald was born in July 1837, in Emly, Tipperary, Ireland.

John Joseph Fitzgerald was born in 1842, in Emly, Tipperary, Ireland 

Edward Joseph Fitzgerald was born 1845 in Limerick. (This is my husbands great grandfather)

James Fitzgerald was born in 1849 in Ireland, I am assuming in Limerick.

I have come across in my research of a William Fitzgerald and Thomas Fitzgerald arriving in New York in June 1851. It indicates that Thomas was 13 and William is either 16/14. Of course since there were many Fitzgeralds that emigrated I am not sure if these two are related.

Some of the informaton came from my father in law and was confirmed by research. I also just found a U.S. A. Passport appllication from Irene Fitzgerald who was the daughter of Edward Joseph Fitzgerald.  In it she indicates that he emigrated to America in 1849 possibly from Queensland. So, I would guess that they all came between the years, possibly between 1849 to 1852.

I hope this information will help you. Thank you again

I have been trying to find the parentage/baptism of my ancestor Mary Fitzgerald who married Edward Meany.  Their daughter Judith was born in Mullinahone in 1812 but I haven't been able to find a record of Edward and Mary's marriage.

Ancestry.com has two possible baptisms for Mary in Carrick-on-Suir.  The transcript for one reads:

Name: Maria Fitzgerald

[Mary Fitzgerald] 

Baptism Age: 0

Event Type: Baptism

Birth Date: 1789

Baptism Date: 5 Apr 1789

Baptism Place: Carrick-on-Suir, Tipperary, Ireland

Diocese: Waterford and Lismore

Father: Gulielimi Fitzgerald

Mother: Catharina Quan

spsrs: Edward Fitzgerald & Elenora? Walsh

Another possibility is:

Name: Maria Fitzgerald

[Mary Fitzgerald] 

Baptism Age: 0

Event Type: Baptism [illegitimate dau of this couple]

Birth Date: 1789

Baptism Date: 26 Jun 1789

Baptism Place: Carrick-on-Suir, Tipperary, Ireland

Diocese: Waterford and Lismore

Father: Joannis Fitzgerald

Mother: Ellena Yau  [I don't think Yau is likely to be a correct surname?]

 

Am wondering if any of this connects with anyone else's research?
