Fitzgerald Fmaily

GalwayAhascragh (Galway)

Hello

I am trying to ascertain my great great grandmother's maiden name.

I know that Martin Fizgerald (DOB 1855) from Ahascragh married Eleanor Carroll and they had several children.

Martin's father was called Michael Fitzgerald and he was married to Mary or Bridget.

I am aware there remains Fitzgerald's in the area still but do not have an address or number.

I have a Mary Fitzgerald in the 1901 Irish Censes who is 75 years, living in Ahascragh with her son and family, This may be her, but still no maiden name.

Any help locating the marriage would be great, or info on family. Thank you
