John Fitzgerald ~ 1835 - <1886
Labourer / farmer!? - on his son's 2nd m.c. in 1904
Lived Tramore
Search for a baptism there 1832-1837 - almost 70 baptisms but none in Tramore! & none 1827-1847
He could well be the son of John Fitzgerald baptised 1809 Tramore to John Fitzgerald & Anastasia Power
He seems to have married Catherine Flynn, maybe 1853-1858 - cannot find such a Waterford or, indeed, any county, marriage on RI from 1848-1859: yet they, RI, claim to have WC marriages from 1741 and Tramore marriages from 1786 !
Ask the Tramore parish priest to look for John F /Catherine Flynn marriage 1853-1859, but likely 1858
5 known children: Bridget; Ellen; Nicholas; Catheriene; Edmund
1859. Bridget Fitzgerald baptised 26/5/1859 in Tramore to John Fitzgerald & Catherine Flynn . Address Ballymacaw. Sponsors James Flynn & Ellen Fitzgerald -RI
1861. Ellen Fitzgerald baptised 13/10/1861 in Tramore to John Fitzgerald & Catherine Flynn . Address Graigue. Sponsors Bridget Tobin & Michael Fitzgerald -RI
1863.Nicholas Fitzgerald was born Garigue, Tramore to John & Catherine on 11/9/1863 . Baptism from RootsIreland on his page No baptism on FS, FMP or Ancestry
on Irishgen Seemingly no birth of other children 1864-1878 - trawled thro all 1864 irishgen births and then 1865-1878 births with a Mother Flynn - assuming that search works! - Nobody. Do not understand why the next 2 baptisms/births are not on irishgen??
1869 Catherine Fitzgerald baptised 25/4/1869 in Tramore to John Fitzgerald & Catherine Flynn . Address Ballymacaw. Sponsors Patrick Dwyer & Anastatia Fitzgerald -RI . Her birth registered Woodstown. her father a labourer - civil record
1874. Edmund Fitzgerald baptised 14/5/1874 in Tramore to John Fitzgerald & Catherine Flynn . Address Ballymacaw. Sponsors Robert Power & Julia Morrissey -RI . No civil record - odd!
Did he move from Tramore to Waterford 1874-1882?? His son was a tailor there by 1886, living John Street
1882. A Catherine Fitzgerald, 51, married, shopkeeper, died 28/2/1882 at Shortcourse, of typhoid fever, 10 days. Informant John Fitzgerald -RI & irishgen
1882- 1886 I cannot find a d.c. for him
On his son's, Nicolas', 1886 m.c.he is given as Dead- so the following 1890 d.c is NOT his!
1890. A John Fitzgerald , 55, carpenter, Main Street, Tramore ,died 1890 of Allumercuria chronic. Informant Cath.Fitzgerald, his wife
