Hi Ed

The information about St Paul being a Church of Ireland church is useful; if you look at the 1901/1911 Censuses for Ireland ( http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/ ) there is this entry:

1901
Residents of a house 12 in St. James Avenue (Mountjoy, Dublin)
Edward J FITZSIMONS
Head
Irish Church
Read & Write
68
Annuitant
Born County Cork

with family:
Elleanora (sic) Wife 60 b County Limerick
Florence Dau 23 b Limerick
Edward J V Son 22 Nil occupation b Galway

Edward John Vize Fitzsimons born 1866 to EJF & Eleanora in Limerick (from the familysearch site) may have died and they named a later son after him.

But at least you now know that this family group were CofI; hopefully it will be easier to identify different Edward Fitzsimons and families if they are Catholic.

You may have to view the films of the marriages found for Walter;  the film for Elizabeth Tarrant is #101336.  Hopefully they will contain more detail.

Thanks Shane and Mayam.

Shane - does the 23 May 1861 marriage of Walter Fitzsimons and Elanor Ryder show up? I am thinking occupation of groom and occupation of father Edward. Is this a second marriage or different Walter? It took place Gortroe Cork

Ed, on the link, if you click on the green button at the top of the page "Search Church Records" and put in "Fitzsimons" then a page opens with lots of Fitzsimons stuff.  On the left hand side you can enter another name, such as Edward, Walter, etc.  I can't see the second marriage but that doesn't mean it's not there

Added: and if you click on the "View the church register containing this record" at the bottom of the link, you can see the signatures etc.

The IrishGenealogy website does not include Church of Ireland records for County Cork so a civil cert would be required.

Based on the details posted earlier by Maryam, these are the full references you need :

 Name: Eleonora Helen Ryder
 Registration District: Fermoy
 Event Type: Marriage
 Year: 1861
 Volume : 6 / page : 23

 Name: Walter Fitz Simons
 [same index references]

  Details included on a Marriage Cert

Re the 1862 Dublin Street Directory - is this address Cork St Dublin or Cork city? I think it is Cork city but want to make sure.

Hi Ed

The addresses for Foots & Fitzsimons in the link I posted for 1862 are Gardiner-street, Lower, in Dublin and South Mall, Cork.  If you look at some ot the other solicitors on the page, they also list addresses in Gardiner-street, Lower and other places.

I'm not a member of the following forum, but you may like to post the link to the image of Walter & Elizabeth's marriage that Shane provided, so they can see that it does actually exist
