I was able to get records of Baptisms for the following children listed with the above parents:

John Fitzsimons Birth 21-Apr-1883 in Kircubbin, Down, Northern Ireland.  Help to trace John or any descendants would be appreciated. He is not listed with the rest of the family in the 1901 Census

James Fitzsimmons Birth 16-Jan-1886 in Donaghadee, Down, Northern Ireland (Help to trace James or any of his descendants would be appreciated.  He is not listed with the rest of the family in the 1901 census)

Joseph Fitzsimmons Birth 16-Jan-1886 in Donaghadee, Down, Northern Ireland (Help to trace Joseph would be appreciated I did find some records indicated that perhaps he was on the HMS Black Prince as a Boy 2nd Class the information matches date of Baptism and birth town. He left the service in 1908 and i have not been able to find any information after that time.  any help would be appreciated)

Michael Fitzsimmons Birth 02-Nov-1888 in Donaghadee, Down, Northern Ireland  (Michael died in Scotland in 1955)

Patrick Fitzsimmons Birth 13 Dec 1891 in Donaghadee, Down, Northern Ireland ( Help to trace Patrick or any of his descendants would be appreciated. Listed with his father in the 1901 census)

Mary Fitzsimmons Birth 4 May 1895 in Portavoe, Down, Northern Ireland (Not listed with her father in the 1901 census wondering if she was adopted  as her mother possibly died when she was a few months old.  I have not been able to find any further information on her)

Any further information on any of the above family members would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Hi,

Thank you for your message.

Given that Patrick and Eliza?s first child was born in 1879, it is likely that they were married in the 70?s. If they were this means that you should be able to find a civil record of their marriage as civil registration began in 1864. Civil records are available from the General Register?s Office. Here are their contact details:
