Hi
I would love to find any living relatives of my late grandmother Celia Fitzgerald, daughter of Mark and Bridget Fitzgerald of Feamore township in Co Mayo. My father did not have a good relationship with his family and as a result we had little contact with them. She passed away when I was 19. I would love to know her story.

1895 civil marriage record of Mark Fitzgerald and Bridget Ratigan which shows the names of their fathers https://www.irishgenealogy.ie/files/civil/marriage_returns/marriages_1895/10519/5831504.pdf
1951 death record for Bridget Ratigan Fitzgerald see second record at the link. Note Patrick Ferry son in law was the informant https://www.irishgenealogy.ie/files/civil/deaths_returns/deaths_1951/04500/4182351.pdf
1940 civil marriage record for Patrick Ferry and Bridget Fitzgerald who was born after 1911 see second record https://www.irishgenealogy.ie/files/civil/marriage_returns/marriages_1940/08837/5195243.pdf
Fourth record at the link could be the 1922 civil marriage record for Celia's sister Annie to Michael Godfrey https://www.irishgenealogy.ie/files/civil/marriage_returns/marriages_1922/09197/5326715.pdf
You should consider taking a general DNA test which could give you matches on your Fitzgerald line. You may be looking for Ferry and Godfrey descendants.
