Devon / Re: FITZGERALD - Plymouth deaths/burials
« on: Saturday 18 June 11 15:46 BST (UK) »
I have in my possession a daily devotional "Bogatsky's Golden Treasury for the Children of God" owned by Cuthbert W Elphionstone-Holloway, HCF's brother-in-law. CWEH carried the devotional throughout his adult life and made marginal notes of important events in his life. I am in the process of trying to transcribe them all (spidery hand writing, each date with entries for different years on it).
On the 25th June 1861 he wrote:
He also confirms the dates of two of the deaths: those of Cuthbert Fitzgerald and HCF. Strangely he doesn't mention the death of SMF.
My tree has the second marriage of HCF to the complicated Trelawney Collins family but I have no additional details of the date.
I have a photograph of HCF and CHF which I have attached, and one that I think is of of CHF on an aunt's knee (in mourning perhaps).
I hope that this is of some help and interest to you!
Can I ask what your connection with the Fitzgeralds is?
Best regards,
Mike
