Hi Faye, I was wondering if you have any information on James's son Mathew.
My GGG is a Mathew Fitzpatrick from what seems to be the Ennis area. Or, that's at least where 2 of his children Thomas and Catherine, my GG Grandmother
married. I have the wedding record of Catherine's marriage in 1880 and found the ship she immigrated to NY on but I continuously strike out on a death certificate
I can't use the 1910 census as the sheets in the area of NYC are so faded
they look blank. Any information would be wonderful.

Hi Danielle,  I wonder if it is the same Mathew, perhaps it is because he did not come with the rest of the family to Aust.  I have him married to Catherine Hassett (which makes sense if your ancestor is also a Catherine) and the children I know of are Margaret 1841?  and John born 1843?  I have a note  - A Franciscan Friar who was compiling a history of Doora said there was only 1 Fitzpatrick family in the parish.

I will look into this and let you know anything further I find my email is (*) Faye

Hi again could you give me some of Catherines details ie. married name etc and where they settled in the US and I will try to find something on one of my sites.  Regards Faye

Have you tried the clarelibrary.ie ? I found a listing for a John whom was married to a Catherine for gravestones in the Drumcliff Cemetery in Ennis. I also found a listing for a baptism for Thomas born 3-17-1848 to a John & Kate Halloren or Halloran in the Parish of Kilmaley. I. Want to say I found the baptism at rootsweb.

There was a large family of Fitzpatrick's in the townland of Tullassa, in Drumcliff parish, just west of Ennis, and on the border with neighboring Kilmaley Parish.  The family used Kilmaley Parish for baptisms and marriages.

I do have a good bit of information on this family if anyone is interested.
