Need help - John Fitzgibbon - Hanora O'Brien
« on: Friday 27 June 08 13:07 BST (UK) »
Looking for any information about John & Hanora (nee O'Brien) Fitzgibbon.
John & Hanora are the parents of my ggg grandfather Thomas Fitzgibbon:
Born/Baptised: 09 Aug 1805 at St Munchins (RC) in Limerick.
I know that Thomas and his brother John with their wives emigrated to Australia in Oct 1841, both John and Hanora were deceased by that time. I am after any information or direction as to where I can  find information on John and Hanora.
Regards,
Harry Fitzgibbon
Australia

For the dates you are looking for, well before civil registration) you need to check church records (if they exist).
Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!

Hello from New Jersey.  I too am researching John Fitzgibbon, but maybe not the same one.  Anyway, I came upon this information through a fellow online researcher Jan Webb
