Looking for information on James Fitzgerald and David Fitzgerald who left Templetenny for the Peterborough Ont, CA area in 1850. Church record say their father was Thomas Fitzgerald and mother was Ann Mahoney. There is also evidence that they were related to the Clancys. Other names associated with these two are Thomas married toa a Margaret who is possibly a brother. and Mary who came also in 1850 though she never married.

Hello Tippgal. At this point in my research I just suspect that the Clancy's and the Fitzgerald's were related. You find them living together in the 1851 Cencus for Otonabee, Peterborough, Ontario, CA. There is a William Clancy born 1801. His wife is listed as Mrs. Clancy. Living either with them or next door were David Mahoney b.1826, Thomas Fitzgerald, 1814 and his family, David Fitzgerald b. 1823 and his family, John Fitzgerald b. 1813, James Fitzgerald B. 1826, and Mary Fitzgerald b. 1813.
I have marriage records for David and James Fitzgerald that prove they were brothers and they came from Templetenny. Mary Clancy was the maid of honor at the wedding of Jame Fitzgerald and Alice Mahoney. (sister to the aforementioned David Mahoney) James and David were the sons of Thomas Fitzgerald and Ann Mahoney of Templetenny. The Clancy's show up pretty regularly as baptism sponsors for many of James and David's children. Sooooo I am thinking that the Mrs. Clancy of the 1851 Census could be a Fitzgerald sister or cousin to James and David, and I am still looking for more conclusive evidence to link Thomas, John and Mary to these two brothers.
Does any of this sound familiar?
