Mary Kate's profession on her marriage cert is Waitress.

Hopefully over time I can figure out if she joined family in England or perhaps she went on her own

Hi there,
My grandaunt Margaret Fitzgerald married Daniel McCarthy of Carrigbawn, Drinagh, Co Cork on
11th September 1888

Margaret died on the 19th December 1893 as a result of an accident.

One of the children from that marriage was Mary Kate born 21st August 1889.

I came across a marriage cert some time ago ....marriage of Cecil Joslyn and Mary Kate McCarthy.
Marriage took place August 1917.

Of course I can't be certain that the Mary Kate is daughter of my grandaunt Margaret, and indeed her age in 1917 would be out of sync with her dob.
Her father's name is correct and he was a teacher.

Regards
Anna

Hi there,
Well I had always sort of taken it that Mary Kate stayed in Ireland. I had her in the 1901 and 1911 census....at that time she was living with her Dad and his new wife Kate.

So I recently discovered that in 1917 in Hastings she married Cecil Theophilus Joslyn. On the marriage cert her Dad is Daniel...School master.
They had a number of children some of whom died in infancy.
Perhaps it will be possible down the line to make contact with some descendants of theirs. I really need to ascertain for certain that the MK I have mentioned is in fact daughter of my Grandaunt.

Yes Fitzgerald gathering was great but also lots of stress.
I hope that you have a great holiday in West Cork and that you connect up with loads of cousins.
No doubt we will be in touch again
Best wishes
Anna

Hi Spanrz,
I have been discussing your message with a lady from Cork who is a descendant of a brother of my Great grandfather. She is a descendant of Edward Fitzgerald born in 1809.
We are totally at a loss in relation to placing any of the names that you have mentioned, and yet when you mention a Fitzgerald from Skibbereen......yes that is who we are also.
Do you know the name of Patrick Driscoll's great grandparents, as they may provide a worthwhile clue.
Dunmanway is interesting because my Great grandfather Richard lived in Lisbealad Dunmanway from 1855 till his death in 1903.
Another very good site working somewhat like roots chat is Ireland Reaching Out and it is also well worth looking at and possibly posting a question also.
Best of luck
Anna

Hi Spanrz,
We appear to be from 2 different Fitzgerald Clans.

Yes my great grandfather was Richard Fitzgerald, born in Skibbereen in 1807.
His parents were Morty Mor Fitzgerald and Catherine Donovan.
We believe that Morty and Catherine went to Skibbereen from Mallow.

Richard married twice...his first wife was Anne Mahony from the Schull Co Cork area and that wedding took place 15th February 1846.
Following the death of his wife in 1859 Richard married Mary Grace in 1861.

Wishing you the best of luck with your research. If I come across any information that may be of use to you I will get back to you. "Godson" is an unusual surname and who knows I may come across something of interest at a later stage.
Best wishes
Anna

Hi Folks
I have been looking for my Grand uncle Richard Fitzgerald born 10-04-1875 in Lisbealad, Dunmanway Co Cork.
Last week I saw him mentioned in the England and Wales National Probate Calendar ( Index of Wills and Administration)
The deceased lady Mary Catherine Fitzpatrick ( Fitzgerald) died in Croyden Surrey 1931. I know for sure that Mary Catherine, who was my Grand aunt is a sister of Richard's, as is the other lady mentioned Juli Ann McCarthy ( Fitzgerald).
How could I find out from that probate where exactly Richard lived at that particular time?
Any help or suggestions would really be appreciated.
Thank you all so much
Anna

Family History Beginners Board / Looking for information on Mary Kate McCarthy Carrigbaun Drinagh Co Cork
« on: Tuesday 02 July 13 11:46 BST (UK)  »
Hi Folks
My grand aunt Margaret, daughter of Richard Fitzgerald and Mary Grace married Daniel McCarthy, Carrigbawn, Drinagh on 11/09/1888.
They had a daughter Mary Kate (21/08/1889), and a few years later her Mum died tragically.
Mary Kate grew up with her Dad and her Step Mum, Kate O Driscoll whom he married 19/10/1895.
In the 1911 census for Carrigbaun Mary Kate is 21 years of age and occupation is National Teacher.
I am very anxious to get information on her and I would really appreciate any help at all.
How do I go about finding out what school she worked in?
Thanks a million
Anna
