    Default Fitzgerald - Limerick

    Ellen and John Fitzgerald were my great grand parents. Ellen Fitzgerald lived near Ballarat in Victoria. She possibly had seven children. One Patrick died in infancy and Brigid died at 19 years.The other children were Margaret, Eleanor. Michael Alice and Annie, not necessarily in that order. Three girls only married and had children. My grandmother Annie was the youngest. Ellen died in Coburg or Brunswick IN 1913 and is buried in the Coburg cemetry. John Fitzgerald whereabouts are unknown. My mother who was born in 1909 could not exactly say. There seemed to be the impression that he may have been buried in a paupers grave. My mother died in 2006 and she was the last of that generation . She was Ellen Hartigan's youngest grandchild. The descendants mainly live in Victoria and have been successsful. My cousins have a very detailed family tree mapped out, which also goes back past Stokes in Limerick Ireland. Ellen also had a sister who emigrated with her husband at the same, but she travelled on to Western Australia. Her descendants are there.One grand child lived in Malvern in Victoria. He died in the mid 1990's and has one daughter Catherine who was born in 1957

    Hi Karen
    do you have a Timothy Fitzgerald in your Irish family? Possibly came to Aus in the 1850s?
