Edmond FITZPATRICK was born in 1788 in Enniscorthy Co Wexford. Edmond married
Elizabeth Elinor FOLEY in 1814, exactly where in the Diocese of Ossory is outstanding.

Thru newspaper articles which mention Edmond by name I have identified four sons
and have calculated each of their dates of birth from the ages given at time of death, eg
FitzPATRICK, T F "son of late Edmond"; 56; Enniscorthy WEX>Dublin DUB IRL; Cork Examiner (COR IRL); 1878-7-1; dja

Francis Johnston b c1815 d 1895.
Edmond Foster b c1817 d 1870
Samuel Foley b c 1820 d 1894
Thomas Foster b c 1822 d 1878.
I believe that another son was Richard b c 1824 d between 1901 &1911 census and
also a daughter Eliza Maria b c 1833.

I have traced Francis Johnston down 3 and 4 generations (some headed west to USA) and with Samuel Foley (my line) I've got that pretty well covered. But  its the loose ends for which I have accessed the usual sources, Ancestry, FindmyPast, FamilySearch, Church records at irishgenealogy.ie, rootsireland.ie and Irish newspapers with limited success to obtain my required data, ie
1) where were Edmond and Eleanor married (possibly Wexford?)?
2) where were each of their children born and were there any other children (especially the
"unseen" daughters)?
3) What were the names of the wives of Edmond Foster and Thomas Foster?
4) Were there any children of these marriages?
5) Where did the given names of Johnston, and Foster come from?

The majority of these events would have happened before 1864 or soon thereafter.

It seems that a trip (from Oz) to Dublin to trawl thru the records is my next step.

Any ideas as to where to search for this data would be greatly appreciated.

Further on this topic I have been looking through the following site -  churchrecords.irishgenealogy.ie

Found a marriage for William CARROLL  and Margaret PEARSON on 2 December 1843 in the Parish/Church/Congregation - St Andrew, Dublin. Sponsor was Syoney (sic) PEARSON - see Pearson Berkeley below

Then found the baptism of Patrick Stanislaus CARROLL whom I mentioned in a previous post being married in NSW Oz.

Patrick Hanislaus (sic) Carroll of 31 Stephens Green in 1860. Father: William CARROLL, Mother: Margaret Eliza PEARSON.

Decided to dig a bit deeper and came up with
.   Henrietta Clara CARROLL in 1850 at St Andrew.    Sponsor was Sidney PEARSON

.   William Joseph CARROLL baptised in 1854 at St Andrew             

.   PEARSON Berkeley CARROLL in 1857 at St Andrew   ------ Could this be a son 'named' after the mother.  Also the Sponsor1 was John SIMON ------ the same as the first born son. Sponsor2 was Catharine Letitia CARROLL - there is a baptism in 1826 for a Catharinam Letitiam PEARSON (latinised!)  whose parents were John PEARSON and Sydney Unknown.      Are these just coincidences???

Hi AgnesV and donnamariacarlin

I am trying to prove that the wife of John S. CARROLL is actually the sister of my great-grandfather, Francis Joseph FitzPatrick. An item in the Nenagh Guardian 1838-2010 Wednesday May 04, 1870 page 2 states:
MARRIAGES
May 3, at Rathgar, John S., eldest son of Sir Wm. Carroll, 33 Upper Fitzwillim-street (sic), Dublin, to Mamie Eliza, second daughter of Samuel Fitzpatrick, Esq., of Vista, Rathgar.

I base this on a personal history which was written for Francis Joseph FitzPatrick (Samuel's second son) in which he stated that he had a sister who married a Lord Mayor of Dublin and died of smallpox. Now I cannot find a Lord Mayor who married a FITZPATRICK but John S. may qualify as he is the SON of a Lord Mayor.  There is no mention of the names for either of his two other brothers or his four sisters in the report.

As for William Joseph CARROLL, I cannot find when  came to Oz, but he married Ada Agnes HUDSON in 1881 at Corowa, NSW. Cannot get an exact date for when he died but it was before 5/8/1916 when his son William Hudson died in WW1 in France, as the description says - the late Dr W J Carroll and Late Sir William Carroll, Dublin.

Something else I came across is that Maude-Elizabeth, eldest daughter of Doctor Sir William CARROLL, J.P., married in 1867, Doctor Francis John Boxwell QUINLAN (b. 9/05/1834) and
an item in the South Australia Register (newspaper) of Monday 25/11/1889.
CARROLL - FREUDENBERG - On the 10th October at St Peter's Church, Surry Hills, Sydney, NSW, by the Rev. E.M. O'Brien. P.Stanislaus, youngest son of Sir William Carroll, M.D., J.P., Dublin to Elenora Augusta, youngest daughter of Mr J.F. Freudenberg, Adelaide. SA.  The NSW BDM entry for that marriage is number 1457/1889 Patrick S. CARROLL to Elenora FRENDENBERG at Sydney.
