Find Living Relatives

Hello

My paternal ancestors were the Fitzpatricks of Fethard, Tipperary.

William Fitzpatrick was born in Mountrath, Queens County in 1845 and married Bridget McCarthy in 1878 Cork Cathedral. William was a constable in the Royal Irish Constabulary. His wife was a housekeeper

They had about 16/17 children, born from 1879 to 1904 in Fethard, Tipperary. Their names were Ellen, Katie, William, Thomas, Edward, William, Timothy, Gertrude, Frances, Catherine and Bridget.

Anyone whom recognizes these names, please let me know. I know little about the family and have no information on their descendants or photographs of the family.

thanks

Have you searched trees here Simon, to see if any of the names feature?

******TWELVE children born NINE living

I have checked the trees, cannot find anyone

Gertrude appears in another tree, tree owner Paul, though the membership number is not recent you could try messaging if he is using the same email he will receive notification

thanks

Is she married on the tree? Does the profile give a birth location?

I put in Gertrude's name on the public tree search and nothing seems to be coming up

may not be the right one in any case, it just came up as the same birth date as you have listed when I searched trees ...which is not the same date as on the census.

Gertrude Fitzpatrick
Ireland, Civil Registration Indexes
Name: Gertrude Fitzpatrick
Event Type: Marriage
Event Date: Apr - Jun 1920
Event Place: Cork, Ireland
Registration Quarter and Year: Apr - Jun 1920
Registration District: Cork
Volume Number: 5
Page Number: 127

Strange that it didnt come up.

Just to let you guys know, Gertrude is the informant on her fathers death certificate in 1933. She is listed as Fitzpatrick, this means she may not be married by 1933, her sister Kathleen too was written as Fitzpatrick in 1930 under her mothers death certificate. Could mean that, at nearly 38 years old, Gertrude never married, but with the irritating nature of irish records, I am not completely sure

Several GR members have Fitzpatricks born in Fethard in their trees, admittedly with birth years somewhat earlier than those in 1901 census

You don't seem to have your tree on GR - it's one of the best ways of finding connections

Simon....
Ellen Fitzpatrick was born 26June 1879 and Baptised at St Finbarr's 29 June 1879.
Wm and Brid.were living on White St.

She appears to be the only child born in the Co Cork.

Looking at all the info you have from other sources I am not sure exactly what it is you are after wanting...

If you are looking to find out about the children of Wm and Brid. who they married etc .that's going to take some detective work...!!

Yes, Ellen was born in County Cork. A few months later her father William was stationed at Tipperary South Riding, where he served as constable until 1899.

All the other children were born in Tipperary.

I have noticed a number of Fitzpatricks being born in Fethard on some trees, however because I have not found any marriage records for any of William and Bridget's sons, I do not know if they are related. I have asked a few of them, but they haven't replied.

Some of the children are in the 1901 census, but not the 1911 census, which meant those absent have married or moved away. Edward was serving in India at the time of the 1911 as a gunner and Katie died a few months after the 1901 census, aged 18 of tubercolosis

I will continue to peruse..!
I cannot see a Marriage for Wms parents Tim.Fitzpatrick and Cath Powers but if Cath did not come from Co Laois then you would need to be checking surrounding Counties...

Was Brid buried with Wm in the "Coffey" Grave do you know..?

There's a marriage to a Tim Fitzpatrick and Catherine Pound in Mountrath, where William was born. What's the Coffey grave?

Simon...Found this on a site...no other details other than Fethard Burial Grounds...(thought it may have been linked to one of your requests for info.)

G61 is definately William Fitzpatrick, Miss Fitzpatrick his likely an unmarried daughter, since Bridget has died by then.

Is there a gravestone?

Not that I can see ..definitely one for the Coffey's but..check out this site..
