Note that Northern Ireland did not exist in 1795.......it was Ireland.

That's great to know! My mom started the family tree and has the older Irish people from Northern Ireland. Thank you!

Rootschat member aljepeka has links to the Fitzsimmons surname in Moyraverty. Hasn't been online here for a couple of years, but a PM might still reach, if email address hasn't changed.


See reply #18 at https://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=381031.18

I did PM them, Hoping I might get a response but figured I would ask around while I wait lol thank you

Armagh / Parents of William Fitzsimmons (Fitzimmons)
« on: Thursday 29 April 21 05:48 BST (UK)  »
Hello! I was wondering if anybody could help me find out the names of William Fitzsimmons parents.

William was born 1795 in Moyraverty, Portadown/Lurgan, Co. Armagh, Northern Ireland I believe, Died 13 Jul 1839.
His wife was Anna Ward (or Waid) and their two sons I know stuff about are David & Nathaniel Fitzsimmons, Both son's came to Ontario Canada (Grey County and Pinkerton is where the son's died)

I have two records for William but they are just his and Anna's name attached to Nathaniel's records. Sadly I'm not sure where to start looking for Irish records so if anyone can help or point me in the direction of where I can find would be great!  Thank you so much in advance  ;D

The only info I have for my one brick wall that should be correct is her name was Adeline O'Handley (Born Lynch) she was born July 16th 1905 in Newfoundland Canada, And she died Sept 9th 1964 in North Sydney, Nova Scotia.

Her husband was John Leon (Leo J) O'Handley, I have their children and where she is buried. Seems good, I have decent info.

but that's all I have, I can't find records, Census's, ect., I have an obit for her and that provides just her name and Leo's name.

She passed away when my grandpa (His mom, My greatgrandma) was 16 and he has passed away now as well, her living children have had their kids start tree's as well but we all have the same issue, We can't find records, Parents, Nothing. I've looked at her husband and his records but there is also nothing there.

I have two main brick walls in my tree, Both are due to lacking info. Has anyone ever broken their walls even though they have/had so little info? any tips or advice?
