Fitzpatrick Familes of Cloughboola and Gurtnescregga

Hi Edward

Thank you for your message.  I will certainly have a look and see if I can come up with any information which may help you.  Please be patient as it may take a week or two.

Hi Doreen,

Thanks very much for your reply and going to the time and effort to see what you can find, I appreciate it. Just to add a bit more information. My great-grandfather John Fitzpatrick had a brother Richard (who never married - lived at Gurtnescregga with parents ); a sister Anne who married John Walsh and lived at Clonkeen, Miltown (found in 1901 & 1911 censuses). John' s parents Matthew Fitzpatrick and Ellen Flynn/O'Flynn (b. 1831 Ballinla, Kilbolane - daug. of Michael Flynn and Johanna Moreton) married 20th Feb., 1857 in Milford. Matthew was baptised in Nov. 30th 1827, Kanturk parish. He had brothers Cornelius, b. 1829 (went to live at Glashaboy, Mallow), John b. circa 1835? Francis (became proprietor of The Hibernian Hotel, Mallow) and a known sister Sarah b. circa 1837, who married a John Littleton (went to live at Glashaboy along with brother Cornelius - found them in the 1901 & 1911 census returns). There appears to be another brother Michael who was supposted to have joined the RIC - though I know nothing more than this. Matthew's father Richard had a brother Denis, and probable brothers Matthew and John too (who may have married women by the surname of Barry and Bastable respectively). I found my x3 great-grandfather Richard F on the Tithe Applotment Books, 1834 for Clonfert, listed at 'Gurtneskreggy' with whom I presume were other Fitzpatrick family members at that same place. Richard looks like he married a Mary Roche/Roach, 4th Feb. 1827, at Churchtown.

Thanks very much again for your time.

I think I may have a little information for you but need to check my files. I will be in touch again and let you know.

My grandad was Michael Fitzpatrick of Kiltane House, He married Kathleen Sheehan an they had 4 boys Sean, Richard, Finbar & Declan and 1 daughter Breeda.  Michael died in 1993 and Kathleen 1999, they are buried in the cemetry at Kilbrin. Richard was my father. Sean still lives at Kiltane and despite a badly broken leg a few years ago he is still going strong. The only one who left Ireland was my father and he died in 2005 (also buried at Kilbrin).  The others are still there, Declan is in Dublin, and for many years Finbar worked there although he lives in Mallow. Breeda is in Cork city.

Many years ago my Uncle Finbar started looking into the family tree I don't know how far he got with  this.

Sean isn't on the internet, so you could drop him a letter with  the information you posted on here and he might be able too give you any history he and the rest of his siblings may be aware of.

Hi Edward,

I see this is an old message but I have only just found this site today.  Have you completed you Fitzpatrick tree??  My grandmother was O'Connell from Milford, Co. Cork and I heard she was first cousin to Denis Fitzpatrick but am having trouble finding documentation on this.....just wondering if she is on your tree.  I see on the 1911 census that the O'Connells and the Fitzpatricks lived next to each other so maybe I am on the right track.

Other names on my tree are Collins, O'Shea, McSheffrey and Mulcahy

Hoping to hear from you.
