Hi,
My Ancestor is Mary Fitzgerald who arrived in New South Wales, Australia, on board the Irish Famine Ship ‘Maria’ in 1850.
The information I have about her is:
Name: Mary Fitzgerald
Mary was born about 1832 in Stonehall Limerick. I have been told that Stonehall is a town land in the civil parish of Kilcornan.
The shipping record:
- From the poor law union of ‘Rathkeale’
- House servant
- Cannot read or write
- No relatives in colony
- Parents: John & Johanna (both dead)
I have searched the http://ifhf.rootsireland.ie/ with no luck on finding either a birth or marriage for John & Johanna.
Mary’s death certificate had her mother’s name listed as: Hanorah O’Shaunnessey.
I am leaning towards Mary’s mother’s name being Hanorah, as Mary named one of her daughters Hanorah.
I would like to be able to find Mary’s birth and when her parents were married.
Thank you
Sandra
